Product Details

The Motorad Fail-Safe line is engineered as an OE-supplier thermostat solution for drivers who need consistent coolant regulation and a built-in fail-open safety design. The 7204-192 thermostat is specified at 192°F and is suited for vehicles that call for that operating range, including many Chrysler LeBaron, Dodge Dakota, and Plymouth Voyager applications. This part cross-references Dayco 70492 for the same application.

With OEM-quality materials and a copper/wax thermal element, this thermostat responds quickly to coolant temperature changes and supports stable engine warm-up and operating temperature control. The Fail-Safe design adds an extra layer of protection by locking open during overheating conditions to allow coolant circulation.
