Detailed Product Overview

The Motorad 242-192 thermostat is engineered to maintain proper engine operating temperature by regulating coolant flow through the cooling system. Its 192°F calibration matches OE-specified applications and supports consistent warm-up and temperature management in vehicles that require this opening point. The compact housing dimensions, bypass features, and sealing flange measurements help support proper fitment in the intended cooling system layout.

This thermostat is a practical replacement choice for drivers searching for a 192 degree thermostat for Ford Ranger cooling repair, a Ford Transit engine coolant thermostat replacement, a Honda Civic thermostat 192F OE spec part, or a Toyota Pickup thermostat for standard cooling service. Part number 242-192 is also a useful reference when cross-shopping thermostat replacements.

This part cross-references Gates 24292 and Hayden 205 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Engine running too cool or too warm due to thermostat wear
• Slow warm-up after cold starts
• Temperature fluctuation from a sticking thermostat
• Cooling system flow control issues in OE-specified 192°F applications
• Replacement needs for Ford Ranger, Ford Transit, Honda Civic, and Toyota Pickup cooling service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the OE temperature specification before installation and confirm the thermostat orientation matches the housing design. The unit includes a jiggle pin weep hole and is supplied without a gasket or seal, so the correct sealing component must be selected for the application. Inspect the thermostat housing, mating surfaces, and coolant condition during service to help ensure proper sealing and temperature control.
