Detailed Description

Motorad Fail-Safe part number 7265-195 is an engine coolant thermostat engineered to OE specifications and manufacturing processes. It is built to open at 195 degrees F, helping regulate coolant circulation in Ford F-150, Ford F-250 Super Duty, Ford F-350 Super Duty, Ford Explorer, Ford Mustang, Lincoln Navigator, and related applications listed in the fitment data. This thermostat is designed for vehicles that need stable operating temperature control in demanding cooling systems.

This part cross-references 76595 and P7265-195 for the same application. The Fail-Safe line focuses on controlled coolant flow behavior, while the copper case and wax element support responsive operation as coolant temperature changes.

What It Helps Address

• Engine overheating caused by a thermostat that no longer opens at the correct temperature
• Temperature swings from delayed coolant flow regulation
• Cooling system service on Ford and Lincoln trucks, vans, and SUVs
• Air trapped in the cooling circuit during thermostat replacement
• Improper thermostat sealing in OE-style housings
