A replacement metal thermostat housing with a two hole lower sensor housing. Comes with all required o-rings to complete the task. Does not come with a thermostat or temp sensor. You can use your old one or replace at your discretion .***CAN BE ORDERED FROM MY WEBSITE AT WWW.SIMMONSAUTOPSORTZ.COM*** PLEASE READ HELPFUL HINTS PAGE THAT COMES WITH PART BEFORE INSTALL, SOME AFTERMARKET TEMP. SENSORS DO NOT FIT AND WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED DURING INSTALLATION TO AN OEM PART.

This will replace that cheap piece of factory plastic.
Used this to replace leaking 160K mile leaking plastic factory unit on a 2003 4.0 sohc Ranger. A lot of thought went into its design. The redundant paper gaskets with factory-like seals ensure a leak-proof installation. Use permatex hi-tack to keep everything in place as it is tricky to install under the intake manifold on this vehicle. Good for two weeks now. Should last the life of the engine. I reused a two-year old thermostat, and the o-rings for the factory sensors worked perfectly. Coat them with silicon grease prior to installation to prevent damage to them. The driver side one is best installed outside the vehicle, and plugged in prior to bolting it down while you can still tip the unit slightly. As others have said, this should have been the design Ford used originally. Great product!

An essential upgrade for a reliable Ford V6 4.0 SOHC engine
This part was a direct bolt on and cast perfectly to accept the temperature senders and the heater hose. It came with understandable directions. It is a major improvement over a plastic part that is notorious for failing.

Great idea/great product.
I am very pleased with the performance of this housing so far. If you have the plastic thermostat housing you may want to consider going to aluminum.
