Product Details

This Motorad thermostat housing kit is engineered for vehicles that require a 195F OE-specified thermostat application, while the assembly itself is rated at 192 degree F. The design uses OEM-quality materials and safety standards from an OE supplier, with a copper case and wax compound that reacts quickly to coolant temperature changes. Motorad 4853KTFS is a practical choice for restoring proper engine warm-up and coolant flow control in classic GM and Jeep cooling systems.

This part cross-references 94853KTFS for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Coolant temperature that stays too low or runs inconsistently
• Delayed engine warm-up after a cold start
• Thermostat housing leakage at the gasket surface
• Cooling system service on aging OE-style housings
• Temperature control issues tied to worn thermostat components
