Product Description

The Mishimoto MMTS-MUS-05L Low Temperature Racing Thermostat is engineered to replace the standard thermostat in a wide range of Ford V8-powered vehicles. With a lower activation temperature of 160 °F (71 °C) compared to stock ~180 °F (82 °C), this thermostat allows coolant to begin circulating sooner, improving cooling efficiency during heavy load conditions, towing, or high-ambient temperature environments.

This performance thermostat is ideal for enthusiasts and daily drivers alike who want to maintain cooler engine temperatures under stress. It fits directly into the factory housing of compatible models including the Ford Crown Victoria, F-Series trucks, Mustang V8 4.6L, Excursion, Expedition, Explorer, and several Mercury models. Built with Mishimoto's reputation for durability and reliability - and backed by a Lifetime Warranty - this thermostat is a strong upgrade choice for improved engine temperature control.
