2002 Ranger V6 4.0l

My thermostat housing started leaking.

I was hoping to find a complete replacement kit online which included a new thermostat, sensor, gaskets, seals, housing and whatever else was needed to replace the unit.

Instead I'm finding you have to order all the parts yourself for the most part.

Does anyone know what pieces are needed to do a proper thermostat housing replacement?

I checked RockAuto but the number of parts is a bit overwhelming.

Thanks,

 

Welcome to the forum

Have a read here, excellent article with pictures: How To Replace the Upper and Lower Thermostat Housing on a Ford 4.0L V6 SOHC Engine

And parts list

 

I followed that site when I replaced mine, super helpful and informative.

 

I just did my 03.......I got a kit ...from rock auto.....Stant,I believe...and bought new sensors,as well......As I recall......everything was about $60.00.....with shipping..

To RonD: I get no "clickable" link to the thermostat housing replacement article. Do links expire after some time?

Thanks George (and Kira)

 

The link is clickable for me
