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 video shows you how to install a new TRQ thermostat and housing in your 2006-10 Ford Explorer.

Local Ford dealer quoted me at about $1100 for parts and labor. This job takes 8 minutes and 2 seconds.

You did leave a check valve out of the housing. I bet you found it when you started the car up. But, good video, and you gave me the courage to do it myself.

Good video. My only issue is you didn't explain the sensor change. My sensor o ring wasn't big enough for the new housing(weird right) so I used one from the plug located next to the sensor. Also go anyone who doesn't know you can use a flat head to get the retainer pin out. To prevent losing it, I simply twisted the flathead in the hole and it gently loosened it and I pulled it out with my finger.

Very well played. But I think it will take me 3 times longer outside in Anchorage. Thanks.

What is the little hose thats on top of the thermostat housing? Not the hose going to the radiator.

[@hipolitomejia76]
