It seems as though my husband put my thermostat in wrong on my 98 Ford Ranger XLT 6 Cy. 3.0. He cracked the housing from the top side hose. Anyone know the exact name or number for this part.

I have called a couple of auto parts stores and no one seems to have this part. He went to an auto salvage today and there was not a part available.

Thermostat outlet housing is correct. Should be able to get one off any Ford V6. Clean it up good and use JB Weld, I've patched blocks and transfer cases with it.
