Gates Engine Coolant Thermostat P/N:33036S
Gates 33036 thermostat for the 1954-1967 Ford F-250 and other vehicles and equipment opens and closes to control engine cooling. This engine coolant thermostat stays closed on a cold engine and opens as the coolant heats up.
A thermostat stuck open or closed can show up as an engine that runs hot, warms up slowly or has a temperature gauge that reads off. Before replacing it, look around the thermostat for wet spots or dried coolant crust with the engine off and cool. A shop can pressure-test the cooling system if the cause is unclear.
