Product Overview
Unstable operating temperature on Caterpillar 216 / 226 / 232 / 242 Skid Steer Loaders can be caused by a thermostat that no longer opens at the intended temperature. A stuck-open unit often leads to slow warm-up, while a stuck-closed unit can restrict circulation and contribute to overheating.
The replacement allows coolant flow to be regulated again instead of remaining permanently restricted or open. It is a straightforward service part when testing points to the thermostat rather than another cooling-system component.
