Product Details

This Gates thermostat is set to open at 190 degrees Fahrenheit, which is a common temperature for many engines to reach their most efficient operating range. It's built to OE specifications, meaning it should perform just like the original part that came with your vehicle. When your thermostat isn't working right, your engine can either run too cool, which hurts fuel economy and emissions, or too hot, which can lead to serious damage. This part is designed to help keep your engine running at its intended temperature.

Gates uses a durable wax pellet and spring mechanism inside this thermostat to ensure consistent and reliable operation. It's designed to fit a wide variety of vehicles, including popular models like the Ford Explorer, Ford Ranger, and many Mercedes-Benz 220 series cars. Having the correct thermostat is crucial for proper engine performance and longevity, especially in varying weather conditions. This 190-degree unit is a solid option for many applications where that specific temperature rating is called for.
