What is the benefit of a 180-degree thermostat compared to a stock one?

A 180-degree thermostat opens sooner than a higher-temperature stock thermostat. This allows coolant to circulate to the radiator at a lower engine temperature, which can help keep the engine running cooler, especially during demanding driving conditions or in hot weather.

Does this thermostat come with any gaskets or seals?

This product is the thermostat unit itself. It is recommended to inspect your existing gasket and seal during replacement and replace them if they show signs of wear or damage.

Can this thermostat be shipped to California?

No, this thermostat is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.

Product Details

This Granatelli thermostat opens at 180 degrees Fahrenheit, a cooler setting than the stock thermostat for many GM LT-series engines. This can help keep your engine running a bit cooler, especially under load or in warmer climates. It's a well-built replacement part designed to fit a range of popular GM vehicles, including the Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Silverado trucks, as well as GMC Sierra and Yukon models.

The thermostat itself is a critical component in your cooling system. It acts like a valve, controlling the flow of coolant between the engine and the radiator. When the engine is cold, the thermostat stays closed to help it reach its ideal operating temperature faster. Once it hits that temperature, it opens up to allow coolant to circulate and prevent overheating. Choosing a 180-degree thermostat is a common modification for those looking for improved temperature management in their LT-powered GM vehicle.

This part is a direct replacement for your original thermostat. Just be aware that it is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
