Thermostat Housing New METAL Replacement 05-10 v6 Ford Mustang
This is a step by step for replacing the thermostat housing (and thermostat) for a 2005-2010 v6 4.0L Ford Mustang. Also, there is now an aluminum thermostat housing/water outlet available to replace the plastic thermostat housings. Whether you are installing a plastic or metal housing, this video aids in the installation. Both types are the same install process shown in this video.
I'm not affiliated with the company that makes the aluminum ones but I have found these on Amazon and eBay. I prefer them because I have had 4 plastic ones leak on the same car and was glad to find an aluminum part that will hopefully solve the problem.
let me know if you have any questions and I will do my best ...

I did this job......worked fine, BUT, THE PART WAS TOO EXPENSIVE......THEY WERE REASONABLE TILL EVERYONE EVENTUALLY NEEDED THiS FIX....THEN THEY STARTED GOUGING EVERYONE. THERE iS A PROBLEM WITH THE SAME YEARS GROUNDING PROBLEM THAT DESTROYS ALTERNATORS AND BATTERYS. DID THAT JOB TOO.
9 years later, and your still helping 💯. Thanks for your help, man!
I thought this was moist critical for a sec
Thanks man shit was easy but making sure that gasket stayed in place was a nightmare
Ford went cheap with the thermostat housing .replaced mine 5 years ago No more leaks.😂😂😂 Common Ford dont be so cheap.
I noticed when I went to make this repair I had a lower valance in the way that I had to take off and I noticed you didn’t have one. Do you think it’s safe to leave it off?
Ok so I know I’m late but maybe someone can possibly help. I have a 05 mustang that I recently attempted to change the thermostat housing on. After changing it and starting the car, coolant was shooting out from where the thermostat connection resides. It also shout out from the hole next to the connection. I’m confused on what I did wrong.
Fantastic video and I am forwarding it to my grandson as we will be doing this next weekend.
Thanks Mike I have a coolent leak from underneath my engine now I think this is what it is and now see what to do to fix the it. Good job 👍😊
Awesome video! You made it easy.
Damn those 3 bolts came off easy.
My car recently leaked a little then stopped leaking I’ve been letting it sit for few hours Still no leak. I probably need a new thermostat?
Are the aluminum housings reliable? I've replaced two plastic housings and I'm tired of messing with it. Any problems with sloppy machining or bad fits, etc?
Really wish you were neighbor you're really knowledgeable in this stuff. 🐐
so i was in a rush this morning to work, only had 30 minutes to swap this guy out, and this video really guided me. although i didn’t have time to let it run without the cap. since then my heater only blows cold and AC… also a very old thing, wiper fluid isn’t coming out. gonna try letting it idle for a bit in a few hours without the cap to see if that helps at all
Excellent 👍👍 999
mine is leaking but can't find metal thermostat housing availble. what gasket maker did you use for this application ?
i've replaced the plastic one on my 07 4 times in 6 years.
Excellent tutorial. Thanks! My daughter's mustang is leaking and I believe this is the culprit.
How long did it take to get the job done?
Did you had to buy the gasket separately or it came w the part ?
This video is probably the best one out there. Literally walked me step by step! Thank you so much !
thank you
Very Detailed & Instrumental. Attention to detail superb
If anyone can answer my question. If I'm adding coolant back into the system and start my car what happens if the heating in my car doesn't work? I can only run AC atm. Can I just leave my car on and drive around without heating instead and let it run coolant until I need to fill it again?
thanks for this video, it helped me a lot !
Nice video you saved me some money thanks 😊
Hey Mike, I am looking to buy the replacement housing since mine is leaking, but everywhere I search does not have the seals with the housing. Where did you purchase the thermostat housing from, and if seperate where did you also purchase the seals from? A link would be extremely helpful.
Great info absolutely impressive
Where's the part number ?
what is the house name called at 13:46
Extremely happy you made this. Saved me $400 at a shop, I’m doing this myself thanks to your video!!
89” pounds to 100” pounds = 7.4 to 8.3 foot pounds
Thanks so much bro this is the best step by step video that I’ve found !
I switched off the temp sensor to the new one with the pin but the hole on the right aide of it won't stay cover with the cap and pin it easily pops out...is that normal ? or does that hole and cap need to be tight ? anyone know ?
don't you think the metal housing could build up some corrosion in the future? I am getting mine too though just because the plastic ones are a piece of crap, but I will keep and eye on corrosion, I guess we just gonna have to drain the coolant and replace it more often if that happens.
Can someone link an aluminum housing from amazon? Plz
I had a mounting screw break in the engine when removing, still haven’t got it out.
you just earned a subscriber fella
I need u to do a video on changing water pump on 2006 Ford Mustang v6

What if I have already by passed the heater coil would I still turn the heater on
What if u have already Bypassed your heater coil would I still turn the heater on
Beautiful video, great job!
Anyone have the link to this ? I have a mustang 2010
I’ve used this video a couple of times. Thanks for an easy step by step video! You rock, man! I finally bought the aluminum housing. I was done tired of that damn plastic one.
I know about cars 🚗 and this is a well explained video
