Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Gates 33868 OEM Engine Coolant Thermostat - Enhanced SEO by Brent Shaeffer

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Quick boiling water test passed

Guys, don't take anything for granted, always do the boiling water test, it takes 5 minutes and can save you a headache. I bought an off brand and got spotted by DOA. Look at this picture. It works, but why don't they include a rubber gasket? It can't be found in its best shape, so I drove 40 miles to the local yellow/blue shop where Gate is also its OEM. Be sure to bring this device with you so you can test each seal that fits. Don't buy their thermostat, it's $10 cheaper here at Revain. And this product works, so it's a lot cheaper here than anywhere else. The design looks cheap compared to the original packaging. I got 115,000 from OE, I don't know if it will be, but it works. Also, Revain has the wrong label, it's not made in the good old USA. I'm deducting a star because it's made in China. 15 is too much for the Chinese workforce. 15 conventional doors at the price of American production still bring jobs back to the US? You can't ask for 15 for Chinese production!

Pros
  • Good
Cons
  • Good but not great
