How to service the thermostat on a 3.0L (2V) engine on 2006 Ford Ranger?

A 3.0L (2V) engine requires service of the thermostat to start with draining the cooling system. Start by taking out the air cleaner outlet tube after which the bolt securing the throttle body cover must also be removed. First detach the upper radiator hose from the thermostat outlet housing followed by the removal of the alternator wiring pin-type retainer. The service process starts with bolt removal then progresses toward removing the thermostat outlet housing together with the thermostat. Installation of the new thermostat requires securing its bolts with a torque of 25 Nm at 18 ft. lbs. Take care while scraping the surfaces between the thermostat housing and gasket to protect aluminum from damage that might result in leak paths. Manifestation of the old gasket must happen before cleaning all sealing surfaces until they show no signs of gasket material. The steps for removal need to be done in reverse order for proper installation.
