[QUOTE="John Zuber, post: 1030977, member: 59842"] Ok, got all my parts from Advance Auto...and I'm taking them back. The Motorcraft thermostat is in a beat-up box, and the numbers on the thermostat don't match the package. The housing kit includes a thermostat (which I'm sure is generic), and the title clearly implies that a thermostat is included, but yet in the "questions and answers" it says it doesn't include the thermostat. I wouldn't trust the thermostat, but the housing looks good. Nonetheless, it's all going back. I called my Ford dealer and the thermostat o-ring and the bottom housing seal ring are both available for only a few dollars. Assuming I can match up a new o-ring for the temp sensor I should be able to re-use my old housing, which still looks new on my vehicle. I'm only getting slight seepage from the thermostat o-ring and the sensor o-ring area. I'll keep the new housing-to-water pump hose, and rebuild with new seals and a new thermostat and I should be good. [/QUOTE]
