Reviews
Soon as i bought Motorcraft all was normal again
Pros: all was normal
Vehicle:

I still changed my thermostat to an Aisin unit for peace of mind, so far so good.
Pros: peace of mind, good performance
Vehicle:

I just bought two thermostat related parts off rockauto that are both Aisin yesterday.
I have installed them in two rebuilt, and they are working perfectly fine
Pros: perfectly fine operation
Make sure you use the motorcraft thermostat.
Pros: highly recommended
Go with the Motorcraft thermostat as it has a rubber seal on the outside edge.
Pros: has rubber seal
It's a very easy thermostat to replace, I just did it a couple days ago on a 2008 Hyundai Sante Fe with the big 3.3l V6. The gasket comes with the OE Aisin thermostat, too, making it even easier.
Pros: gasket included, easy to replace
Vehicle:
Hyundai Santa Fe
The OEM Aisin thermostat opens at 185, staying completely closed until 180 where it can open up partially allowing proper circulation and proper temperature control. The engineers at Nissan designed this cooling system to function in a certain way at very specific temps. ONLY USE THE AISIN 185 OEM thermostat in these trucks.
Pros: proper circulation, temperature control
Vehicle:
Nissan
I replaced the thermostat from a non-OEM to Motorcraft about a month ago, and the only difference has been the speed at which the dial moves from higher temps to its normal positon.
Pros: faster dial movement
Vehicle:
Ford Ranger
I’ve had a Motorcraft thermostat fail after 100mi on my Ford
Cons: failed quickly
Vehicle:
Ford
Mileage: 161 km
