RARAYCAluminum Thermostat Housing Kit Ford Coolant Compatible With Explorer 2002-2010 Mercury Mountaineer 2002-2010 4.0L V6

I put one one my 06 mustang works good at half the price

Don't buy the plastic ones that last 6 months and break again. this one will hold up for years, if the o ring eventually fails just replace it with one from a local parts store

I replaced the garbage plastic housing three times to date!! Located this aluminum version and didn’t hesitate! Installed about an hour ago and so far, no leaks!!!! Easy to install and nice not to have to worry about tightening bolts too tight to prevent cracking the plastic!! Buy it fellas and gals!!!!

it's a great idea but did not work for my ford explorer sport xls with a 4.0 the radiator hose faces the wrong direction.

The upper piece that hooks to the upper radiator hose was molded at an improper angle.(see picture) The hose did not fit properly. I exchanged that piece for the plastic piece that came with the vehicle and everything worked fine. I recommended the company, adjust their mold angle to fit the original specs.

Much better quality than the plastic housing. Included everything, sensor, thermostat, and gasket.

We are very happy with the new part I have replaced this part twice in the past only had plastic parts and they do no last!

The unit is overall machines pretty well, esp. for the price. Unfortunately, it seems like the gasket seal or thread lock is not applied properly to the bolts as there is some leaking around the bolt heads. I can't tell if it's one bolt, or two, that are leaking.
