This part cross-references Walker Exhaust 48349 for the same application. Motorad 265-192 is also listed under interchange references including 26592 and P26592.

What It Helps Address

• Engine running too cool or taking too long to warm up
• Temperature fluctuation caused by a worn thermostat
• Coolant flow control issues in the thermostat housing circuit
• Service replacement for a leaking or degraded thermostat seal
• Air trapped in the cooling system during thermostat service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the thermostat temperature rating and seal style against the original part before installation. Clean the housing sealing surfaces thoroughly, inspect the gasket land for corrosion or debris, and confirm the bypass dimensions and flange fit match the application. Use fresh coolant and bleed the system carefully after service to reduce trapped air.
