Where to buy Thermostat

There's a USED thermostat on eBay UK here:

I just did the thermostat on my 2000 Exp Sport, 4.0 OHV at 75,000 miles. I would suggest you do it yourself.

The only part on mine that had to be removed was the small plastic shield for the throttle body. once removed, the 3 bolts holding the thermostat housing were almost just hand tight. not much more. I think I used a 12 mm socket on mine. Do not over tighten when putting it back. You will see what I mean. A small rubber o-ring type bushing holds the thermostat center hole. Almost forget, first remove about 1 gallon of antifreeze. I didn't suck enough out and ended up cleaning the garage floor when complete. Took all of 1 hour, start to finish. This is a good time to change the fluid if you haven't already. I had just changed the fluid this past summer.

I bought the O'reilly brand for $5. it seems to be fine. The name on the box says "Murray" interesting....

Good Luck Scott

I guess you're a newby to the web. All it took was a google search for " stant thermostat" The first entry was:

I'm glad to see that nobody has bid on it...yet, anyway. This guy really thinks he can get 1 quid or more for a used t-stat...bollocks!

Make sure you get the right o ring. this is critical!

And another IMPORTANT thing....be sure you orient it correctly (look at the old one). If up sidedown you're screwed!

Cadillac. They didnt have one for the Explorer at the time and I can't remember the name now.
