Detailed Description

The Motorad Fail-Safe 7335-180 thermostat is engineered for cooling systems that require dependable temperature regulation and a built-in overheating response. Its 180°F rating supports normal operating temperature control, while the fail-safe mechanism opens the thermostat if overheating occurs to maintain coolant circulation. The copper case and wax compound help the thermostat react quickly to coolant temperature changes, supporting consistent engine thermal management in demanding service conditions. This part cross-references Four Seasons 73358 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Addresses

• Engine running hotter than normal due to thermostat sticking
• Delayed coolant flow during warm-up or temperature swings
• Overheating events that require fail-safe open operation
• Unstable coolant temperature control in daily driving
• Thermostat replacement during cooling system service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the thermostat temperature rating and housing style before installation. Inspect the sealing surfaces, bypass dimensions, and flange condition during service, and replace worn coolant as needed. The jiggle pin weep hole should be oriented to allow trapped air to escape during filling and bleeding. Confirm vehicle-specific fitment for Dodge Attitude, Dodge Verna, Kia Magentis, or Hyundai Accent applications before installation.
