Motorad 7200-195 Engine Coolant Thermostat

Motorad Fail-Safe Thermostat 7200-195

The Motorad Fail-Safe 7200-195 engine coolant thermostat is a 195 degree F replacement built for demanding cooling systems. It uses OEM-quality materials and OE-supplier manufacturing standards to deliver consistent coolant control for a wide range of Ford, Dodge, Jeep, Chevrolet, GMC, and Land Rover applications.

Motorad’s Fail-Safe line is engineered to lock open after an overheating event, helping maintain coolant flow when the engine has already reached a critical temperature. This 7200-195 thermostat also features a copper case and wax compound for quick reaction to coolant temperature changes, along with an offset design and air relief valve where applicable.

Key Features

• 195 degree F opening temperature for OE-style engine temperature control
• Fail-Safe design locks open after overheating
• Copper case and wax compound for rapid response
• Manufactured to OEM specifications and processes
• Stainless steel and copper construction
• Offset design with air relief valve where applicable
• Silver finish
• Part number: 7200-195

Detailed Description

This Motorad thermostat is a direct-fit cooling system component for vehicles that require a 195 degree thermostat, including applications such as 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler, 1994-2003 Dodge Ram 1500, and 1986-1994 Ford F-150. It is also used across many Chevrolet C1500, GMC K1500, and Jeep Cherokee applications, making it a practical replacement for high-mileage trucks, SUVs, and vans that need stable coolant regulation.

The Fail-Safe design is intended to preserve coolant circulation after an overheating condition, while the copper and stainless steel construction supports durability in everyday and heavy-duty service. This part cross-references Gates 70095 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Addresses

• Engine running hotter than normal due to a worn thermostat
• Delayed coolant flow during warm-up or temperature swings
• Overheating caused by a thermostat that no longer opens at the correct temperature
• Cooling system instability in older Ford, Dodge, Jeep, Chevrolet, and GMC vehicles
• Replacement needs after thermostat failure in 195 degree F applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the thermostat housing style, sealing surface, and OE temperature specification before installation. This thermostat does not include a gasket or seal, bolts, hardware, or an installation tool, so reuse or replace related sealing components as required by the vehicle application. Proper coolant fill and air bleeding are important after installation, especially on systems that use an offset thermostat design or air relief feature.
