Motorad 7383-205 Engine Coolant Thermostat
Engine Cooling Thermostat for Ford Trucks
The Motorad Fail-Safe 7383-205 engine coolant thermostat is built for precise temperature control in demanding cooling systems. It is set to open at 205 degrees F and uses OEM-spec materials and processes for consistent operation in Ford E-350 Econoline, E-350 Econoline Club Wagon, F-250, and F-350 applications.
The Fail-Safe product line is designed around a lock-open safety strategy, helping coolant continue to circulate if the thermostat experiences an overheating event. For Ford E-350 Econoline and Ford F-250/F-350 owners searching for a 205F thermostat replacement, Motorad 7383-205 provides an OE-style solution with the correct temperature rating and housing details.
Key Features
- 205 degree F thermostat opening temperature
- OEM-quality materials and manufacturing processes
- Copper case and wax compound for responsive temperature changes
- Offset design for application-specific fitment
- Air relief valve included where applicable
- OEM-style seals included where applicable
- Part number: 7383-205
Detailed Description
Motorad 7383-205 is an engine coolant thermostat for Belts and Cooling applications, engineered for Ford cooling systems that require a 205F operating temperature. The copper case and wax element are selected to react quickly as coolant temperature changes, while the Fail-Safe design adds a lock-open feature if the thermostat is exposed to overheating. This helps maintain coolant flow in critical conditions and supports stable engine temperature control in Ford E-350 Econoline, Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon, Ford F-250, and Ford F-350 models.
This thermostat is a direct-fit style replacement for service work where OE temperature control and housing geometry matter. The Motorad 7383-205 also cross-references P7383-205 for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Engine running too cool or too hot due to thermostat wear
- Delayed coolant flow during warm-up
- Temperature instability in the cooling system
- Overheating events that require a fail-open thermostat design
- Replacement needs for Ford E-350 Econoline, F-250, and F-350 cooling service
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the 205 degree F specification before installation and compare the bypass dimensions, flange thickness, and sealing flange diameter to the original part. Clean the thermostat housing mating surfaces thoroughly and inspect the cooling system for contamination or restricted flow before reassembly. This part does not include a gasket or seal, and no installation tool is included.
