Default Re: How To Replace Thermostat 2.5L (1999)

Well I picked up motorcraft thermostat at O'Reilys today and I got the same thermostat you got. When you compare it to the original I pulled out, it seems kinda chinsy like the aftermarket one so I'm a little disappointed. I'm going to install it though and see how it works. I'd suggest people buy it directly from ford or somewhere online to get the 1 that seems better quality to me (ys4e-8575-ab or RT1148). But thanks for putting this thread together. It should be able to help out many people.
