This video shows you how to install a thermostat housing on your 2002-2005 Ford Explorer. The thermostat controls the flow of coolant in your vehicle’s engine. When a thermostat fails, it can lead to overheating, which will damage the engine. One sign of a faulty thermostat is a cool upper radiator hose when the engine is at full operating temperature. It’s important to replace the thermostat immediately if you suspect it is failing.
This process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2002 Ford Explorer
2003 Ford Explorer
2004 Ford Explorer
2005 Ford Explorer

Just did this. A few notes to hopefully help others. The wire harness on my was much more snug, I had to remove the top hose and bolts and was able to remove the housing out of the back, leaving the harness in place. I drained close to 5 quarts of coolant which was enough for me to remove all hoses without excess drip, I still had a little coolant left in the reservoir (not even close to the cold fill point) I ended up putting roughly 7 quarts back in and still need to add another 2 quarts. I've read that these hold 11 of it's bone dry so I was pretty close to emptying it completely. I was worried about rust so I sprayed the bolts with pb blaster a few times leading up to the swap. Fortunately there wasn't an issue. Thanks for the video. We'll see how this one works out
