Default Water pumps

Going to replace water pump fan clutch thermostat and both hoses anything else I should replace while I'm in there? And has anyone found a guide that helps in installation?

I'm about to tackle this myself, Im doing all of this work because the timing cover on my 3.0 is leaking. I'm also going to change the timing chain and sprockets while I'm in there because with 150k it can't hurt.

May want to go ahead and flush the entire cooling system to get rid of any trash then replace the parts you mentioned.

Ford Ranger Shop Manuel. Best $60 I ever spent. Ebay has them.

And go this route. I have one for every vehicle I own. I prefer to have a paper one on hand, but I think you can get digital access pretty cheap.
