Detailed Description

Motorad Kit 5002KTUS is engineered as an OE-style thermostat housing assembly for Ford and Lincoln cooling systems that need accurate coolant temperature regulation. The copper case and wax compound are used to react quickly to coolant temperature changes, helping the thermostat open at the specified 194°F setting. The housing design includes an offset layout and air relief valve where applicable, along with OEM-style sealing surfaces for a proper fit during service. This part number is a practical choice for Ford E-150, E-250, E-350, F-150, F-250, Expedition, Excursion, and Lincoln Navigator thermostat housing replacement work.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Coolant leaks at the thermostat housing or seal area
• Erratic engine temperature readings caused by worn thermostat components
• Overheating from a thermostat that no longer opens at the correct temperature
• Cooling system service needs on aging Ford E-Series vans and trucks
• Cracked or corroded housing surfaces in the coolant passage

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine application by year, make, and model before installation. Clean the mating surfaces thoroughly and inspect the coolant passages for corrosion or debris before fitting the new housing. Use the included seal as specified for the application, and refill and bleed the cooling system carefully to remove trapped air. This part is listed for N/A position applications and is commonly used on Ford E-150, Ford E-250, and Ford E-350 service jobs where OE-spec temperature control is required.
