Review on Dorman 902-860 Engine Coolant Thermostat Housing Assembly for Ford/Mercury Models - Black Finish by Polo Bradley

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Cheap repair for Explorer leaks, be careful with thermostat compatibility

We thought we had a huge repair bill but then we heard a tip that the thermostat housing often cracks on these Explorers. Of course, after chasing the current for a few minutes with a flashlight and a step stool, we saw coolant leaking out of the thermostat housing. Get this detail and get it done with a few curses but no bleeding. We made it. In this case, there are many problems with installing a thermostat. The new gasket and the old thermostat didn't like each other, so the parts store for a new thermostat. Worse, the gasket fit, but the thermostat didn't fit the case. So, after a few more scoldings, the new gasket fitted the old thermostat and it fitted the new body. *twitched*. Now everything works, this is the end.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Update availability
