Thermostat
#1
I'm replacing the Thermostat today, had a small issue yesterday, with the temperature almost going skyhigh. Anything I need to be careful about. I've got all the parts, I think, and the How-to's.

Before you do it, have you checked the fans are working? Obvious I know, but I have to ask. If the high flow fan has stopped working, the low flow might not be enough in hot temps.

Car started overheating Friday, in slow traffic, when I got up to highway speeds, it was okay. Bought a thermostat from NAPA, and gasket. My next door neighbour, the mechanic, after I had spent far, far too long looking for the reason why the #$^^&^&$# thing was still leaking, after I had put in the new one, check and said the NAPA part is wrong. Went to Canadian tire, bought one of theirs, put on the old Ford O ring and no leaks. Checked to actualy see if the original Thermostat was pooched, and it was. So, moral of the story, buy Ford parts. :angry: Fans were both working, otherwise, I would have overheated Friday.
