The way YT videos should be. No distracting music. Straightforward accurate information , quick instruction without annoying chatter or attempts to be clever.
Great video great instructions no talking about anything but exactly what's going on in the video nice calm and to the point and your explanation for why to do things is spot on. Thank you
Thanks. Finally a video that is the same configuration as my truck. Wasn’t sure how to change the thermostat being in such a tight space. You saved me a lot of time, stress, and head scratching. Quick and easy with the right knowledge. I didn’t know if I was going to need to buy a lot of gaskets pulling all that other stuff off. .
Never owned a truck that required more than the air intake to be removed. Apparently Ford thinks it’s been too easy on me with my 2010. Thanks for the video, probably would have spent a while figuring out that I need to remove the throttle body. Only difference is I’ll just pull the upper hose to drain and replace at the same time. If your thermostat needs replacing, your hoses are probably old as well.
I’m having trouble getting the housing out from under the throttle body. The two bolts are out and everything done as you show but there isn’t enough room above the T-Stat housing to wiggle it out. Any help?
@@bensielaffauto22 Do we need 13 liters of 50/50 mix or do we need 13 liters of 100% coolant? ALSO, before I go to Lowe's and buy the wrong thing... What is the inside diameter of that "little hose" you connect to the petcock valve?
With concentrated antifreeze you do 50/50 antifreeze and distilled water. You can get antifreeze that is already diluted with water so you don't have to mix the two. Just check the label
@@bensielaffauto22, Thanks... I have a 2009, and it is much easier, I only needed two tools, I only had to remove the air intake, and that isn't completely necessary. I was done in 10 mins.
@BenSielaff Would this cause a vacuum leak and a high idle? My 2010 Ford F-150 Was high idling and wonky at starting up, for about 3 weeks. Then today, it started sounding like the radiator fan was working overdrive trying to cool it off and my temp would run hot only when accelerating? The thermostat is leaking air, I sprayed soap/water on it to find out.
I have watched several videos and NOBODY EVER TELLS YOU WHAT SIZE "LITTLE HOSE" FITS ON THAT RED DRAIN VALVE nipple. It looks like a quarter inch but it could be 3/16 or 5/16??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Well edited. Easy to understand. Very helpful. Thank you.
Thanks. Super easy. Aside for waiting for the coolant to drain at a snail pace. 15-20 minute job TOPS!
Thank You. Your video was very educational for me thoural and easy to follow
This was an awesome video! You do an amazing job with it and keep it simple. Keep the videos coming on the 2010 f150!

This what I'm talking about. Excellent video. Thanks man
You're welcome!
Good video! I did this to my 09 4.6l today. Thanks for the info.
Thank you!
How did you properly torque the thermostat housing bolts?
Great Video! Saved me $300....I really appreciate you taking the time to make this!
Great video. Very informative!
Thanks!!!!! I'm gonna replace the thermostat in my company work truck
Thanks, Ben
You are my hero
great vid, only issue i ran into was I couldnt get a socket on the inside bolt to torque, not sure how you did that
This was a big help. Thank you. One question, what if I don’t have that fancy funnel setup?
Great vid. Thanks for sharing
No wat exactly what I needed to see

How did you torque the thermostat housing screws? Which tools did u use to get in the tight spaces?
Check video description for tool links
Why if my 2010 5.4 3L coolant cap says use Gold something or another ...... did the dealer ship use green ??? Westway ford in Irving TX
Great video, very helpful. Thank you
How do you replace or remove the assembly body
Great video. I like your truck too..
I changed my thermostat with a new one, now my fans will not kick on unless I turn my a/c on. What do you think the issue can be?
How do u know what number each spark plug coil is
I like the video. I would have 1st closed the drain valve and backfill the block and perform a pressurized coolant leak test
How many litres of coolant do u need after flushing it out?
Have at least 13 liters on hand.

no silicon between housing ?
Can u tell me ur expansion tank has single hose or two
Thank you. I just finished. My engine light is still on. Do I need to drive it about 20 miles or so for it to clear?
Thanks. Compa
What do you mean by 50 / 50 . Do you put half in the radiator tank and half in the overflow tank ?
With concentrated antifreeze you do 50/50 antifreeze and distilled water. You can get antifreeze that is already diluted with water so you don't have to mix the two. Just check the label
How long does this take to complete?
30-45min

Noted and thank you!@@deskofswitzer
@BenSielaff Do you have a video to troubleshoot P0301 - P0308?
I do not. Power balance test is good to have done to pinpoint problem cylinder(s) @@deskofswitzer
Where is the coolant temp sensor at?!?!?!

Any recommendations?
Your putting metal and brake clean in your water coolant area
