note:
just to reiterate, this is a quality
180° MotoRad replacement thermostat. This is the 180° medium temp version thermostat with part number 300180. We also have this available in a 160F & 192F in some of our other listings. Sorry for any confusion.. Pictures are representative.
Do you have a factory OEM 192F thermostat and looking for a lower temp replacement thermostat? This one will interchange with Motorcraft RT1139 (
E0HT8260FA, XR3E8575BA, XR3Z8575BA) all of which are the OEM 192F factory temperature thermostat. For application and fitment purposes this is a lower temperature thermostat that can interchange with these factory part numbers.
It is a great idea to replace your thermostat as a preventative measure, especially if you system is more than 5 years old...
Many fitments. See list above & below. This setup can allow better cooling than the factory thermostat if your factory thermostat is either a 190-195° thermostat. A 180° can keep your engine a little bit cooler & under certain conditions can be beneficial & preferred.
As stated this thermostat is rated at 180 degrees and will fit applications that take the listed cross-reference part numbers, although those part numbers may be rated at different temperatures. Please use this thermostat kit "only" if you know you want a 180 degree thermostat. We also carry other temperature thermostat kits that may be correct or a better choice if you want a factory temperature thermostat. If you are unsure, please contact me for help. Certain model Fords may trip a check engine light if the temperature is not what the computer is expecting or if it does not reach a certain operating temperature within a certain amount of time. Generally this can happen if the thermostat is stuck open or if it opens at a too-low temperature (usually when going bad). Generally the 180 degree is within the acceptable range, especially on older vehicles. Your individual results may vary & needs may be different, so choose your temperature accordingly.
We also carry this setup in a 160
°
, 192
°
& 195° kit for those who want to replace the thermostat with the factory rated temperature. In cooler climates or in the winter months a 195° may be preferred. Look in out other listings for that kit. See details below. This is a high quality thermostat made by MotoRad. We carry a similar kit in both 160° & 195 degrees in out other listings.
Thermostat temperatures we normally carry for the small block Ford
