Product Details

This is the Gates 33468S thermostat, a 180-degree unit designed to regulate your engine's operating temperature. When you're looking to replace a faulty thermostat or want to ensure your engine runs at its ideal temperature, this part from Gates is a solid option. It's built to fit a wide variety of Ford and Lincoln vehicles, including popular models like the Ford Expedition, Ford F-150, and Lincoln Navigator.

A thermostat's job is crucial: it controls the flow of coolant to the radiator. When the engine is cold, the thermostat stays closed, allowing the engine to warm up faster. Once it reaches its rated temperature, in this case 180 degrees Fahrenheit, it opens up to let coolant circulate and keep the engine from overheating. This particular thermostat is well-built and designed to meet the needs of many common applications, ensuring your cooling system functions as it should.

Having the correct thermostat is important for engine longevity and performance. This Gates unit is a direct replacement for many factory thermostats, making installation straightforward for those comfortable working on their vehicle's cooling system. Always refer to your vehicle's service manual for specific installation procedures.
