Detailed Description

Motorad 4888KTUS is engineered for vehicles that require a thermostat housing assembly with a 192°F opening point. The copper case and wax compound help the thermostat respond quickly to coolant temperature changes, while the OE-spec manufacturing approach supports proper fit and function in the cooling circuit. This part cross-references SUTK8884 for the same application. Use it on 1993-1997 Ford Ranger and 1994-1997 Mazda B2300 applications that call for this housing style and temperature rating.

What It Helps Repair

• Engine running too cool or too warm due to thermostat control issues
• Coolant leaks at the thermostat housing or sealing surface
• Delayed coolant temperature regulation after warm-up
• Cooling system service needs on Ford Ranger and Mazda B2300 models
• Housing wear, corrosion, or seal deterioration at the thermostat assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the 192°F temperature specification, outlet port size, and mounting-hole layout before installation. Clean the mating surfaces thoroughly and replace any damaged coolant hoses or clamps during service. Follow the vehicle service procedure for coolant refill and air bleeding to help prevent trapped air in the system. Fits 1993-1997 Ford Ranger, N/A. Fits 1994-1997 Mazda B2300, N/A.
