Gates 33508 cooling system components for the 1994-1995 Dodge Ram 1500 3.9L / 5.2L / 5.9L and other vehicles come as an economy engine coolant thermostat that opens at a set temperature to regulate engine coolant temperature.
- Precision temperature control for vintage automotive, HD truck, bus and heavy equipment applications
- Consistent, reliable opening temperature so vintage applications keep normal engine operation
- Factory-calibrated spring for smooth operation of the thermal valve
- Opening temperature regulated by a factory-calibrated wax element, with a start-to-open point of 180°F (82°C)
A thermostat that sticks can show up as an engine running hotter than normal, a slow warm-up or a temperature gauge that swings. Those signs alone do not prove the thermostat is at fault, since a low coolant level is another common source. If the thermostat is the cause, this one replaces it.
It is listed for a wide range of Chevrolet, Ford, Dodge, GMC and Buick models, including the 1975-1995 Ford F-150 4.9L / 5.0L and the 1988-1995 Chevrolet C1500 4.3L / 5.0L / 5.7L.
