[QUOTE="Rod Mann, post: 1031258, member: 73695"] As many of us have found out, the Nylon thermostat housing is garbage. just had to replace mine due to weld failure seeping Some of us have found links to Simmons Auto Sportz cast aluminum housing. The problem I had with SA housing is the images of poor or lack of finishing of hose mounting points.. Those of us who have worked with cast iron housings in the 60's and 70's are aware of the potential of leakage of new hoses and difficulty removing old baked on hoses due to the rough cast finish.. FoMoCo produces a more refined machined cast aluminum housing and output neck found at "http://www.fordparts.com/Commerce/PartDetail.aspx?n=ugOZFtQ9rQtdz%2bYKgHqMmA%3d%3d&id=432685443&m=2&search=true&year=2008&make=Ford&model=Explorer" for my 2008 Sport Trac for essentially the same price as SA housing..
