Show original supplier description
The Motorcraft 190 Degree Thermostat is a direct replacement component designed to maintain optimal engine operating temperature. It is rated to begin opening at 190°F, allowing coolant to circulate to the radiator and preventing overheating. This thermostat is recommended for modern engines with computers that utilize coolant temperature to manage fuel, emissions, and other critical systems. It is designed for a wide range of Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles, including specific models like the Crown Victoria, E-Series Vans, Expedition, F-150, Lincoln Mark LT, and Mercury Grand Marquis. Always verify fitment with your vehicle's specific year, make, model, and engine to ensure compatibility. Proper installation is crucial for the longevity and function of the cooling system. It is recommended to completely drain and flush the system with a suitable flushing agent before installing the new thermostat. Consider replacing radiator hoses and the radiator cap concurrently as part of preventative maintenance to avoid future issues and potential engine damage. Ensure the radiator is refilled with the correct coolant/antifreeze formula as specified in your owner's manual.
