Product Details

This is a Gates 180-degree thermostat, part number 33488. It's designed to regulate your engine's operating temperature by controlling the flow of coolant. When your engine gets hot, the thermostat opens up to let coolant flow to the radiator, and when it cools down, it closes to keep the heat in. This particular thermostat opens at 180 degrees Fahrenheit, which is a common temperature for many vehicles to run efficiently.

Gates thermostats are well-built and a popular choice for keeping your engine running at its best. This part fits a wide variety of vehicles, from older models like the 1973 Honda Civic and 1978 Dodge Challenger to more recent ones like the 1990-2000 Dodge Caravan and 1990-1995 Mazda MX-5 Miata. Having the correct thermostat ensures your engine doesn't overheat or run too cold, which can affect performance and fuel economy.

When you're replacing a thermostat, it's a good idea to also inspect your coolant hoses and consider replacing your coolant if it's due for a change. This thermostat is a direct fit for many applications, making it a straightforward replacement part.
