{"product_id":"190-degree-engine-coolant-thermostat","title":"190-Degree Engine Coolant Thermostat","description":"The Motorcraft RT-1161 is an OE-temperature engine coolant thermostat engineered to meet the exact specifications of Ford vehicles. This 190-degree thermostat regulates engine operating temperature by controlling the flow of heated coolant to the radiator, ensuring the engine runs within its intended thermal parameters.\n\nDesigned as a direct-fit replacement, this part is specifically intended for 1986-2003 Ford vehicles, including models such as the Ranger and Explorer. It matches the original equipment temperature rating recommended for modern engines that rely on coolant temperature data to manage fuel, emissions, and other critical electronic systems.\n\nFor proper installation, it is necessary to completely drain and flush the cooling system using a dedicated cooling system flush prior to replacement to prevent system contamination. It is also recommended to inspect and consider replacing radiator hoses, hose clamps, and the radiator cap as part of routine preventative maintenance to avoid overheating and secondary damage. This part carries a 24-month, unlimited-mileage warranty.","brand":"Motorcraft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52663043883320,"sku":"RT-1161","price":28.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/687512017.jpg?v=1784323171","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/190-degree-engine-coolant-thermostat","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
