Ford 4.0
« on: August 18, 2015, 10:37:40 PM »
Anyone replace the upper and lower thermostat housing on a 2000-2004 year ford 4.0 and have a really lose Coolant Temperature Sensor?

I have a squeak of a coolant leak coming from my toy hauler.

I didn't go ford OEM for the parts, got the housing from Orielly's.

I change them all the time, Change they upper and lower housing with the gaskets, toss in a new thermostat since you have it out and replace the ECT sensor cause it will leak when you are done. Also check the top left side of the radiator for leaking, it will be all stained up and crusty.
