Diesel Pro Power offers multiple thermostats to suit your operating temperature requirements. Thermostats regulate coolant flow and engine temperature.

165°F Thermostat

• Ideal for marine engines or cooler climates

• Promotes quick warm-up while avoiding overheating

180°F Thermostat

• Standard for most ISB applications

• Balances emissions control, fuel efficiency, and durability

Thermostat Seal

• Ensures tight fit between housing and thermostat

• Designed for thermal expansion and long service life

Belt Tensioners for ISB 4.5

Proper belt tension is essential for water pump and alternator operation. Diesel Pro Power provides two types of tensioners:

High-grade silicone hoses provide superior resistance to heat, pressure, and chemical breakdown. Diesel Pro Power offers silicone hoses in the following sizes:

• 3/4" ID

• 1" ID

• 1 3/4" to 4" ID

Sold in 1-foot lengths, these hoses are ideal for custom cooling system layouts or replacing aged rubber hoses.

Silicone Hose Benefits:

• Extended life in harsh environments

• Ideal for marine and high-heat engine bays

• Flexible and easy to route

Coolant Hose Clamps

Clamps are a crucial part of securing hoses to fittings. Diesel Pro Power offers:

• Electrical gauges for 12V and 24V systems

Benefits:

• Real-time temperature monitoring

• Helps detect thermostat or pump failure early

• Prevents overheating-related engine damage

Installation Tips for Water Pump Replacement

To ensure long-term performance from your new ISB 4.5 water pump:

1. Drain Coolant System: Always drain and flush the system before installing a new pump.

2. Replace Thermostat and Seals: Old thermostats may cause overheating with a new pump.

3. Inspect Belts and Tensioners: Worn belts can lead to poor pump performance.

4. Use New Gaskets and Clamps: Avoid reusing old seals or hose clamps.

5. Monitor Engine Temperature: Use a mechanical or electrical gauge to track temperature after installation.
