Gates 92-02 Dodge Viper V-10 8L Heavy Duty Thermostat-180 Deg. Weir-Stat w/O-Ring & Perimeter Seal

This is a heavy-duty thermostat from Gates, specifically designed for the 1992-2010 Dodge Viper with the V-10 8L engine. Its main job is to control your engine's operating temperature, ensuring it stays within the optimal range by opening and closing to allow coolant to flow through the radiator. This particular unit is set to open at 180 degrees Fahrenheit, which can be beneficial for engines that run a bit hotter or are used in demanding conditions.

What sets this thermostat apart is its construction. It features a Weir-Stat design, which is known for its reliable operation. You'll also find it comes with an O-ring and a perimeter seal, which help ensure a leak-free installation and a proper seal against the thermostat housing. These details matter because a good seal prevents coolant leaks and ensures the thermostat functions as intended, helping to maintain consistent engine temperatures and prevent overheating.
