How to Service and Repair a Thermostat on Ford Explorer?

Partially draining the cooling system constitutes the first step for servicing and repairing the thermostat. Open the upper radiator hose and move the clamp before splitting the water bypass hose from its water hose connection. Securing the water hose connection requires the removal of two bolts yet you should avoid applying force to that area. After draining the cooling system partially you should disconnect the water hose connection and the water thermostat while removing the thermostat gasket before cleaning all mating surfaces. The new thermostat gasket needs application of Gasket and Trim Adhesive F3AZ-19B508-AA or its equivalent substitute before installation. Insert the new thermostat gasket onto the water hose connection after placing the water thermostat correctly inside the connection slot with the notch properly positioned. Refit both the water hose connection along with the water bypass tube before you place the hose clamps correctly and tighten them properly. Complete the process by replacing the upper radiator hose then filling the cooling system.

How to service and repair the thermostat on Ford Mustang?

The engine coolant must be drained below the water thermostat before performing thermostat maintenance. The first step involves disconnecting the upper radiator hose from the water hose connection before using bolt removal to free the thermostat housing. Check the water outlet connection as the next step after eliminating the thermostat. The vehicle requires a complete cleaning of both mating surfaces before discarding the thermostat gasket. The servicing technician should examine and clean both the engine-side thermostat mating surface area. For proper replacement of the new thermostat follow protocol to set the index then put it exactly where it belonged originally. The new thermostat gasket requires Gasket and Trim Adhesive F3AZ-19B508-AA according to Ford specification ESE-M2G52-A with application for secure sealing around the thermostat. The thermostat installation commences by reversing the removal process which leads to filling up the cooling system system.

How to service the thermostat on a 3.0L (2V) engine on 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.
