Detailed Description

The Motorad 333-180 is an engine coolant thermostat for Ford Ranger, Ford Explorer, Ford Aerostar, Mazda Navajo, and Mazda B4000 cooling systems that specify a 180F thermostat. Its copper case and wax element are engineered to react quickly as coolant temperature changes, helping the engine reach and maintain the intended operating range. This part cross-references Four Seasons 33380 for the same application.

Common Cooling System Issues It Can Address

• Engine running cooler or warmer than the specified thermostat range
• Delayed coolant temperature response after startup
• Temperature fluctuation caused by a worn thermostat element
• Air trapped in the cooling system during service
• Seal leakage at the thermostat housing interface

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the required thermostat temperature before installation, since this part is a 180 Deg. F unit. Inspect the housing and sealing surfaces for corrosion or damage, and replace the gasket or seal if the original surface is not clean and flat. The jiggle pin weep hole should be oriented to help air escape during filling and bleeding.
