Why would I want a 170F thermostat instead of the stock one?

A cooler thermostat like this 170F model can help manage engine temperatures, especially in modified vehicles or if you're dealing with overheating. It opens sooner than a stock thermostat, allowing coolant to circulate and reduce engine heat.

What materials is this thermostat made from?

This Gates thermostat features a brass construction for the valve and seat, combined with steel components. This combination is chosen for its durability and ability to withstand the operating conditions within your cooling system.

Does this thermostat come with a new gasket?

This thermostat is sold as the unit itself. It's recommended to check the manufacturer's instructions or consult with a parts specialist to see if a gasket is included or if a separate one is needed for installation on your specific vehicle.
