Motorad Engine Coolant Thermostat Housing Assembly P/N:4841KTFS
Motorad 4841KT engine coolant thermostat housing assembly for the 1982-1983 Chevrolet Malibu 4.3L / 5.7L and other vehicles opens and closes with coolant temperature to hold the engine at its operating temperature. It is also called a thermostat kit.
A sticking thermostat can show up as an engine that runs hot, warms up slowly or a temperature gauge that wanders. Those signs alone don't prove the thermostat is at fault; a low coolant level, checked only with the engine cool, can also send the gauge up. Each engine takes one.
The 1971-1990 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser 5.0L / 5.7L / 6.6L / 7.5L and the 1977-1990 Buick LeSabre 5.0L / 5.7L / 6.6L fit it too, along with many other vehicles. If your car isn't named here, look it up on the Buyer's Guide tab, where the rest are listed by year and engine.
