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

The service procedure for thermostat housing on the 3.0L (2V) engine begins with draining the cooling system. Start by taking off the air cleaner outlet tube then move to unfasten the bolt attaching the throttle body cover. The upper radiator hose should be detached from the thermostat outlet housing followed by removing the alternator wiring pin-type retainer. The procedure requires removing the bolts and then taking away the thermostat outlet housing together with the thermostat. The reinstallation process requires tightening bolts to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.). When scraping the housing surfaces for gasket application users need to exercise caution in order to prevent damages that would create leak paths within the aluminum structure. Start the reinstallation by cleaning both surfaces then get rid of the old gasket before finishing the exact steps in reverse order to install.
