How to Ensure Proper Functioning of the Thermostat on a 3.0L (2V) Engine in a Ford Ranger?

The service procedure for the thermostat on a 3.0L (2V) engine starts with draining the cooling system. You should first remove the bolt keeping the throttle body cover in place together with the air cleaner outlet tube. Detach the upper radiator hose from the thermostat outlet housing then take out the alternator wiring pin-type retainer. Remove all bolts and then take away the thermostat outlet housing and thermostat from the engine block. The installation requires nuts to achieve Torque of 25 Nm (18 lb-ft). The process of scraping the thermostat housing-to-gasket interface demands careful attention to prevent damaging aluminum surfaces that could form leaks. You should remove the old gasket while cleaning both mating surfaces until they remain free from all remnants of gasket material. The completion of installation requires you to follow the reverse order of removal steps.

How to service the thermostat on Ford Ranger?

Service of the thermostat requires an initial draining of the cooling system. After disconnecting the heater return hose at the thermostat housing the technician must remove the engine coolant temperature sensor and the water temperature sensor. The next step requires removal of the upper radiator hose from its outlet connection. The water thermostat can be removed after extracting the elbow away from the cylinder head by removing bolts from its position. It is normal for the thermostat tabs to not fit perfectly with the housing because they will naturally secure themselves against the head during installation. Follow these steps to install the thermostat into the water outlet connection by applying manual pressure on the housing while fitting the tabs inside the housing recesses. Insert the water outlet housing onto the head with the thermostat while holding the thermostat in position. Reposition the constant tension clamp according to its original position and attach the upper radiator hose to the water outlet connection. After reconnecting the engine coolant temperature sensor and the water temperature sensor you must reinstall the constant tension clamp into its original position before connecting the heater return hose. Finally, fill the cooling system.
