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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Easy install on my 2008 Ford Explorer 4L V6

100 miles on my new thermostat housing. Easy install on my 2008 Ford Explorer 4L V6. I would suggest buying new bolts holding this case to the motor. The screws tend to rust and can be very difficult to remove if the screws are stripped. I suggest removing the nests from the port cargo. Use a thermostat sensor o-ring which I didn't use at first and there was a small leak. Recommended Tools: Long Reach Pliers, Torque Wrench, Ratchet/Socket Bits. It was the first thing I've ever done to a car and I was a little scared. It was damn easy.

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • Basically ok but...
