Awesome video, thanks, you are so professional with your videos!!
Excellent video! Thank You so much. Now I need to go and do this!
The actual thermostat area looks tricky and unclear. I guess I'll just have to kinda wing it. My thermostat came with a gasket around the perimeter. I am guessing that's all that's needed
My thermostat housing cover is on the front of the thermostat housing. It looks different than this one. It's kind of under the throttle body housing and it faces the front of the engine. Also, the thermostat is rated for 198 and is much smaller than the one shown here and has a neoprene gasket that covers the outer diameter of the thermostat disc. Why is that? It's a 98 Ranger 4.0 2WD.
Honestly thought car repair was far beyond me, but this video has me convinced I can learn this. Thanks guys!
That engine bay is clean
Good video, but is it just me, or does this job seem a lot harder than you'd think it would be? Thanks, Ford engineers.
Good video but I would never mess with a radiator drain valve unless u want more problems always drain out the lower radiator hose
Great Video! Great step by step guide. Thank you!
Not real simple on a 2003 ranger
ths this helps alot ,great vid
Hey guys, not sure if anyone even looks at these comments anymore but, I recently changed the thermostat on my 2008 4L ford ranger and I had to put a massive amount of pressure on it to get to compress so I could get the bolts back in…that to me doesn't sound right….did the parts store give me the wrong thermostat?
Do you have to drain the radiator before doing this?
what temperature rating is replacement thermo supposed to be?
always pro thanks
i fixed my thermostat but i didnt drain the radiator. there was fluid in a part of the hose where the radiator hose goes into the thermostat and there was some where the thermo was but wasnt too bad. appreciate the video
Great video, I need to change my thermostat and this showed me how and saved me a few bucks also.
Could I follow the same steps to replace the thermostat on a 95 Ford ranger. 2.3L or am I missing how they differ?
