Installation Notes and Tips

Clean the mating surfaces thoroughly before installation and inspect the thermostat housing and manifold for corrosion, pitting, or warpage. Confirm the application by year, make, model, and notes, especially on 2000-2001 and 2001 vehicles with the 07/24/2000 cutoff listed in the fitment data. Verify the thermostat housing to manifold sealing surface matches the vehicle configuration before assembly.
