@@dustytales5829 no worries my man! I appreciate at least that much information. I'll post it here after I pop the bolts and measure them myself. Thanks!
I have a 2000 Ranger with a 4.0. (Not the original engine). All the videos i see show the thermostat mounted vertically, but on my 4.0 it looks like the upper radiator hose is connected to a horizontally-mounted thermostat housing. Does that sound possible? Maybe the replacement engine I bought was from another year??
Very useful and helpful video. This is exactly the setup on my 2003 Ford Ranger 3.0 L. Thanks
Great thermostat video, thanks now gonna replace mine.
Thank you!
Thank you bud, helped a lot...
This is for thermostat replacement in the 3.0 only! The 2.3 and 4.0 are very-to-slightly different.
Great info!! Good video too! Thanks!
Great video man I needed that information.
will that apply for the heater in the winter?
Yes ma’am, the thermostat, when installed correctly, will allow the hot coolant to flow into the heater core and heat up the cab.
What is the bolt size of the thermostat housing bolts? I can't seem to find the answer to any of my searches! Also, thanks for the video!
I don’t have the Mighty ford Ranger anymore. Nor the service manual. I wish I had that information.

They are M8 x 1.25mm
Don't remember the length. Probably 30mm or 35mm
He literally tells you in the video. 2 bolts. Xx millimeters. Watch the video

Rangers ran ohv and ohc 4.0s depending on the year, not sure if that's your difference, but it's worth checking.
Does this apply for 4.0 v6
Yes, the process should be similar.
It’s the same process for the 4.0
Bikers and babes👍
My 2000 ranger doesn't look like that under the hood at all
you forgot the silicone
