The Gates 33778 is an OE Type engine coolant thermostat featuring quality-controlled factory calibration that assures accuracy of opening and closing, regardless of pressure changes. This thermostat is rated at 180°F (82°C), providing reliable temperature regulation for your vehicle's cooling system.

Key Features:

• OE Type construction from prime OE thermostat manufacturers, matching OEM product fit, function, and design
• Includes jiggle pins for air venting, seals, and gaskets to make this thermostat equivalent to original equipment parts
• Temperature-sensitive heat motor provides consistent valve response for smooth performance and precise engine cooling

Gates thermostats are engineered to maintain optimal engine operating temperature by regulating coolant flow between the engine and radiator. When the coolant reaches the thermostat's rated temperature, it begins to open and release heated coolant to the radiator for cooling. This precise temperature control helps protect your engine from overheating while ensuring efficient performance.
