Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Engine running cooler than the specified operating temperature
• Slow warm-up after cold starts
• Temperature fluctuation caused by a worn thermostat
• Cooling system service on OE-specified 192°F applications
• Replacement of a thermostat with an offset, air-bleed style design

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify housing condition, sealing surfaces, and coolant quality before installation. Because this thermostat does not include a gasket or seal, use the correct seal specified for the vehicle application. The jiggle pin weep hole should be oriented to allow trapped air to escape during filling and bleeding.

For fitment-specific service, confirm the vehicle year and model before ordering. This part is commonly selected for Chevrolet Tracker, Geo Tracker, and Suzuki Sidekick cooling system repairs where a 192°F thermostat is required.

Quality Assurance

Motorad manufactures this Standard thermostat to OEM specifications and processes using OEM-quality materials. The copper case and wax compound are selected to provide consistent response to coolant temperature changes in demanding automotive cooling systems.
