• Fail-Safe design locks open during overheating to allow coolant flow
• Copper case and wax compound for rapid temperature response
• Rubber gasket/seal included for installation
• Offset design with air relief valve and OEM-style seals where applicable
• Sealing flange outside diameter: 1.8 in; flange thickness: 0.05 in
• Bypass diameter: 0.92 in; bypass length: 1.37 in

Detailed Description

This Motorad thermostat is engineered to match OEM specifications and manufacturing processes for consistent coolant regulation in demanding automotive cooling systems. The Fail-Safe design is a practical safeguard: if the thermostat is exposed to overheating, it locks in the open position to keep coolant moving. That makes it a direct-fit choice for many Chevrolet Malibu, Pontiac Grand Prix, and Buick Century cooling system repairs, as well as other GM applications listed in the fitment data. Part number 7267-195 is also cross-referenced to 76795 for the same application.

Compatible With 1987-2009 Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Saturn, and Cadillac applications listed in the fitment table, including 2005-2009 Chevrolet Equinox, 2006-2009 Pontiac Torrent, and 2001-2006 GMC Sierra 2500 HD. The 195-degree calibration supports factory-style operating temperature control for vehicles that require this specification.

What It Helps Address

• Engine overheating caused by a thermostat that sticks closed
• Slow warm-up or unstable coolant temperature control
• Coolant flow issues related to worn thermostat sealing surfaces
• Replacement needs during cooling system service on GM vehicles
• Temperature regulation concerns in high-load driving conditions

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the 195°F temperature rating and housing style before installation. Clean the thermostat housing mating surfaces thoroughly, inspect the rubber seal, and confirm the offset orientation matches the original part. This thermostat does not include an installation tool. Use fresh coolant and bleed air from the system according to the vehicle service procedure to help prevent trapped air and temperature fluctuations.

Quality Assurance

Motorad manufactures this Fail-Safe thermostat with OEM-quality materials and OE-supplier standards. It is built to OE specifications for fit and thermal response, with a copper case and wax element selected for reliable coolant temperature control.
