In this video I describe and show you how to replace a thermostat housing on a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac with the 4.0 liter overhead cam engine. These thermostat housings commonly fail on these engines and cause a coolant leak. They are a little tricky to replace on these Sport Tracs due to the design of the intake manifold. Some mechanics will loosen or remove the intake but in this video I will show you that the job can be performed without removing the intake.

Just finished mine yesterday. Thanks for the vid! I was able to get mine out and in without removing any wires by just moving them around and un-attaching the one harness mount. Plus removing the water neck. I need to find a better way of replacing the serpentine belt. Kicks my butt every time! Thank You Again! Oh, make sure that short hose isn't any longer than the original. Else it will fight you.

Thanks for this. It's been a while since I turned wrenches, and I'm a little rusty. Over time, you forget the little tricks and the knowledge that's only gained by experience (like don't forget to detach the gear shift indicator before dropping the dash to do a heater core on a crown vic 😆). You guys do a great job of showing people what they need to see, and that only comes from knowing your stuff. Excellent video.

Very well made video clear and concise covers all the right procedures for this particular vehicle. On Explorers non sport it's allot easier due to the amount of room and clearance issues. This video can be used as well because it address even more info. In regard to other questions you should replace the sensors and all gaskets. These are a very small cost compared to the entire housing. I would recommend Dorman 902-860 it was re designed as an upgrade not a replacement for the housing. Sensors you can go with many brands just make sure it has the right connection spade wise. Great job minthillbilly, I would only add one thing as a note. On the bottom of the radiator you have a petcock/plastic knob for draining coolant. I drain out about a third of coolant and then re-tighten the knob. This will drain out all the coolant from the hoses and area you would be working on. As I disconnected the upper and lower hoses they are empty. After re-starting the engine and going through the heat and cooling cycles just add it back as the level drops. Thanks Friend.
@jacksquat2067
@jacksquat2067 7 лет назад
Raider After having a few of those break on me, I just started pulling the lower hose and draining it all out. I worked on a lot of $h!tbox cars, I guess. But we had a tool that hooked up to shop air and would pull the cooling system into a vacuum. Every shop should have one. Being able to detect a leak before filling the system up was handy, and we never had issues with air pockets. It was a beautiful thing.

Removing the idler pulley was a good call. By doing so, I was able to pre-install the two sensors on the housing with their clips. Once I got the housing place, I tilted it and plugged in the sensor connectors. Finally, I used an in-lb torque wrench and torqued the lower and upper thermostat housing bolts to 89 in lbs (not foot pounds).

I am getting read to do mine now. Just finished the water pump and putting water in still leaking tracing the leak better than last time to the thermostat housing area so I hope it's the issue this time. I am searching the internet because I didn't know if I would have to remove the intake. More nuts and bolts laying everywhere and still a pain in the back. I love my truck but she's been acting up lately. I am thankful for the video and narrative. Sad we can't see back there to ensure that is exactly the problem. I won't need a reminder now to not loan my truck to the family. Ugh!!!

Great video! I just did this job today and used this vid to help. The only thing I will add is that you unplugged both sensors it seems before even removing the housing. I was only able to disconnect the one on the left, I had to remove the three bolts and kind of work the housing half way out before I could unplug the other sensor. I connected both of them while the new housing was half way in again.

Had my entire housing, thermostat and sensors changed on my 01 4.0 SOHC Ford Ranger only because of smelling antifreeze seeping from the housing. And from the very first freeway grade I drove up, the needle pegged hot. Never blew coolant or steam out the tailpipe (ever). Level ground is fine. Could the sensor wires be swapped by mistake to make it peg hot? Any suggestions?
