This is the 180° medium temp version thermostat with part number 300180. We also have this available in a 160F & 192F in some of our other listings. Sorry for any confusion.. Pictures are representative. **FYI:** **We get the question frequently about what the listed thermostat temperature means. I'll try to address it hear:** Thermostats have a “rated” temperature (such as 160F, 170F, or 180F) This is the temperature the thermostat will start to open, releasing heated coolant from the engine into the radiator. The thermostat will fully open once the coolant gets another ten or fifteen degrees warmer. **Do** **you have a factory OEM 192F thermostat and looking for a lower temp** **replacement thermostat? This one will interchange with Motorcraft RT1139 (** **E0HT8260FA,** **XR3E8575BA, XR3Z8575BA) all of which are the OEM 192F factory** **temperature thermostat. For application and fitment purposes this is a** **lower temperature thermostat that can interchange with these factory part** **numbers.** It is a great idea to replace your thermostat as a preventative measure, especially if you system is more than 5 years old... Many fitments. See list above & below. This setup can allow better cooling than the factory thermostat if your factory thermostat is either a 190-195° thermostat. A 180° can keep your engine a little bit cooler & under certain conditions can be beneficial & preferred. As stated this thermostat is rated at 180 degrees and will fit applications that take the listed cross-reference part numbers, although those part numbers may be rated at different temperatures. Please use this thermostat kit "only" if you know you want a 180 degree thermostat. We also carry other temperature thermostat kits that may be correct or a better choice if you want a factory temperature thermostat. If you are unsure, please contact me for help. Certain model Fords may trip a check engine light if the temperature is not what the computer is expecting or if it does not reach a certain operating temperature within a certain amount of time. Generally this can happen if the thermostat is stuck open or if it opens at a too-low temperature (usually when going bad). Generally the 180 degree is within the acceptable range, especially on older vehicles. Your individual results may vary & needs may be different, so choose your temperature accordingly. We also carry this setup in a 160°, 192° & 195° kit for those who want to replace the thermostat with the factory rated temperature. In cooler climates or in the winter months a 195° may be preferred. Look in out other listings for that kit. See details below. This is a high quality thermostat made by MotoRad. We carry a similar kit in both 160° & 195 degrees in out other listings. **Thermostat temperatures we normally carry for the small block Ford** 160°, 192° & 195° - check out other listings for these various kits.
