Show original supplier description
The Chevrolet Performance engine coolant thermostat (part number 12600171) is a genuine GM OEM replacement part engineered to regulate coolant flow within your vehicle's radiator system. By controlling this flow, the thermostat ensures that your engine efficiently reaches and consistently maintains its ideal operating temperature, crucial for performance and longevity. This unit replaces GM part numbers 12570358 and 12581595 and is set to open at 187 degrees Fahrenheit. This thermostat is noted as being included with the water inlet, inlet assembly, thermostat cover, thermostat housing, and water pump assembly, indicating its integral role in the cooling system's assembly. Its applications span a range of GM engines including 3.5L, 3.6L, 3.9L, 5.3L, 5.7L, 6.0L, and 6.2L, specifically for 8-cylinder configurations. While specific vehicle fitment data is not explicitly listed on this product page, other GM applications with similar engines are noted to utilize this thermostat, including certain V8 models from 2003-2008, such as the SSR, Tahoe, Silverado, and Corvette.
