Product Overview
A diesel Mule that warms too slowly, runs cold, overheats because the thermostat will not open, or has a damaged thermostat found during cooling-system service may need this part. It controls coolant flow between the engine and radiator as temperature changes.
Overheating can also come from a clogged radiator, low coolant, a bad cap, air pockets, fan trouble, water-pump damage, combustion leakage, or heavy load. Diagnose the full system and match 49054-1068; do not simply remove the thermostat as a permanent fix.
