Hi,
I'm hoping someone else has had this issue:
My '00 Ranger, 3 lt flexfuel, has 172K miles on it. The water pump finally gave up and I had to replace it. After getting the entire front of the engine "decluttered" the old pump came off without a hitch. The new one went right back on. After reassembling the thing it turned out the the nipple on the elbow, that also is the mounting postion of the temperature sensor, was also leaking. Again the whole thing comes apart. I was lucky in that the local Ford dealer had the elbow in stock (for only $26) but not the sensor, which broke upon removal. I went to NAPA and got the sensor and a new lower hose, which has the bypass the goes up to the elbow. I got it all back together, again, and all is well except the gauge on the dash reads colder as the engine warms. Any suggestions?:shrug:
