{"product_id":"170-degree-thermostat","title":"170 Degree Thermostat","description":"The SPD Performance 170 Degree Performance Thermostat is engineered to provide superior engine cooling, allowing for increased and more consistent horsepower. Unlike stock thermostats that prioritize fuel efficiency over water flow, this performance unit helps prevent hot spots within the engine block. By introducing cooler water, it allows the limited coolant flow to absorb more heat, which is crucial for custom-tuned vehicles that generate more heat due to increased boost and fuel.\n\nConstructed from durable stainless steel, this thermostat ensures precise metering of water throughout your engine and offers a long product life. It features proper bypass control and ensures maximum cooling efficiency. The installation is a direct replacement, making it a straightforward upgrade.\n\nThis thermostat is highly recommended for tuned motors, as it protects the engine from damaging heat and allows for more timing advancement. Cooler operating temperatures are essential for maintaining engine health and longevity, especially under demanding conditions.\n\n**Important Fitment Note:** This thermostat WILL NOT fit the Explorer Sport, Taurus SHO, or the 2.3L engine before 2019. It is designed for 2017-2025 Ford vehicles with 2.3L, 3.0L, 2.7L, 3.5L, and 5.0L V8 engines, specifically the F-150 models from 2017-2026 with 2.7L\/3.5L EcoBoost and 5.0L V8 engines.","brand":"SPD Performance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52663748657464,"sku":"SPD-TS17035R","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/687680946.png?v=1784329300","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/170-degree-thermostat","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
