Product Details

The Gates 33208S Premium Thermostat is a high-quality engine coolant thermostat engineered to maintain optimal operating temperature in your vehicle's cooling system. Gates, a globally recognized leader in power transmission and fluid power solutions, manufactures this thermostat to meet or exceed original equipment specifications for reliable, long-lasting performance.

The thermostat plays a critical role in your engine's cooling system by regulating coolant flow between the engine and radiator. When the engine is cold, the thermostat remains closed to allow the engine to reach operating temperature quickly. Once the target temperature is reached, it opens to allow coolant to circulate through the radiator, preventing overheating.

Key Features:

  • Meets or exceeds OEM specifications for precise fit and function
  • Engineered for consistent opening and closing temperatures to protect engine integrity
  • Constructed with durable, corrosion-resistant materials for extended service life
  • Designed for straightforward installation as a direct OEM replacement
  • Manufactured by Gates, a trusted name in automotive cooling and sealing components

Replacing a faulty thermostat with the Gates 33208S helps restore proper engine temperature regulation, improving fuel efficiency, reducing emissions, and protecting against engine damage caused by overheating or running too cold.

Great price, great service, A+

Fast shipping, great product. Nothing more needs to be said.

It was fast and easy. I would definitely do business with again.

We will see I guess

They had the parts I needed at the best price. I needed some questions answered to make sure I was ordering the right parts for a 4 year old car and they were very helpful when I called.

Best price on the internet for my parts. Shipped out the next morning.

Finding my parts on this website was incredibly easy. The prices were the lowest around and I was kept up to date about the estimated delivery date. Order #19058

Ordered a Trac-Bar from Autoplicity, and didn't have any problems. WILL be back!

Easy ordering and when i did have a question they answered right away! best price on the product too!
