Detailed Description

Motorad 219-160 is an OE-style engine coolant thermostat engineered for Chevrolet LUV models from 1975-1982. It is specified to begin opening at 160°F, helping regulate coolant flow as engine temperature rises. The copper case and wax compound support fast, repeatable response to temperature changes in the cooling system, while the standard design and OE-style sealing approach support proper fitment in the intended application.

This part cross-references Gates 21960 for the same application. The Motorad 219-160 is a direct replacement choice for Chevrolet LUV cooling system maintenance when a 160°F thermostat is required.

What It Helps Address

• Engine running hotter than expected
• Slow coolant circulation after warm-up
• Temperature fluctuation in the cooling system
• Thermostat replacement during cooling system service
• Restoring proper operating temperature control in Chevrolet LUV applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify housing condition and clean the sealing surfaces before installation. Because no gasket or seal is included, use the correct separate seal or gasket specified for the application. Confirm thermostat orientation and coolant flow path during installation, and follow the vehicle service procedure for refill and air bleeding.
