The jiggle pin weep hole helps with air relief during cooling system service, while the standard configuration supports factory-style thermostat replacement.

This part cross-references Gates 33079 and Stant 48019 for the same application.

Common Cooling System Issues It May Address

• Engine running cooler or hotter than the specified operating range
• Delayed 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 that no longer opens and closes consistently

Installation Notes and Tips

Install the thermostat with the correct orientation for the housing and coolant flow path. Because no gasket or seal is included, verify the required sealing components before installation. Clean the housing mating surfaces thoroughly, inspect the cooling system for contamination, and bleed trapped air after service to help the engine reach stable operating temperature.

For fitment verification, match the vehicle year, make, model, and OE temperature specification before ordering. This part number, 248-192JV, is listed for multiple applications including Ford Explorer, Mercedes-Benz 300E, and Jaguar XJ6.
