Cummins Thermostat 5292738

Description

The Thermostat measures and controls the coolant temperature in the engine for proper operation.

HOW IT WORKS

The thermostat begins at a closed position when you start the engine. As the coolant temperature rises to a preset value, the thermostat opens. The opening of the thermostat allows hot coolant to flow from the engine to the radiator for cooling.

WHY IT MATTERS

The thermostat is critical for optimal engine operation. It is key to preventing the engine from overheating or overcooling during operation.
