Cristian, Thanks for the video, you saved me a bundle! The T-stat cost me $12 instead of the $1025 the mechanic wanted to charge me: CHECK OVERHEATING TB The radiator was very low on coolant, we added coolant and found the radiator side tank is cracked and leaking, we ran the truck trying to bleed air from system and the thermostat would not open on the car and it just kept trying to overheat. The Thermostat and radiator will have to be replaced and while the hoses are off we recommend new radiator hoses at the same time. New Radiator $211.98 New Thermostat Assembly $194.83 New Upper Hose $29.05 New Lower Hose $33.88 New Cap $18.00 Coolant $40.00 Labor $420.00 Tax and fees Total Estimate $1025.00
So you do not have to. Remove the fan or fan shroud right? Thank you for your video? The previous commenter I agree with you saved me a ton of money I don't have. God Bless you Christian.
Theres a lot of ways to bleed it but if you dont have the tools this is probably the easiest way for you is start the car with the radiator cap off. Leave the vehicle running until it reaches its normal operating temperature. It may take between 15 or 20 minutes before your car generates enough heat to push out the air that has been trapped in your car's cooling system. You may find that you need to add additional coolant, as air pockets can artificially inflate coolant levels way until until stops bubbling and you see a nice flow dripping out and you should be good!!
I changed my sending and temp sensor unit to try and fix a no heat no temp gauge issue. On my car the sending unit plunger looking unit was in the front and the conical tip unit toward the rear of the engine. Does this sound correct? I changed and did not fix the problem I’m having.
If your gauge is not working after you’ve replaced your sending unit most likely you have an issue in the cluster or the wiring to it and for the no heat issue you mean the vehicle doesnt get hot or it doesnt blow hot air ?
@@481cristian thanks It does not blow hot air, it was before the gauge stopped working. I watched another video of also the 2.5L ranger and the person said the plunger was the one towards the rear of the vehicle, but wasn't in my case. the plunger one was in the front the conical one in the rear. I think next I'm going to try and do some reading of the ohms with a multimeter and see if those wires work. I do see the insultation on the wires with the gray cap are brittle and showing some a bit of the wire.
@@siksclass how does the temp look if you hook up a scanner to the OBD2 plug under the driver side dash if is reading good in the scanner that means the computer sees good temp so that wouldn’t affect the car blowing hot air it can be that maybe the blend door in the ac system is not working and its only blowing cold air
Usually this is the measurements for the different types 4.0L and 2.3L the bolt/thread size is M8-1.25 x 18. For the 3.0L the bolt/thread size is M8-1.25 x 40 whats the exact year make and model of the vehicle ?
You seem to know a lot about Ford rangers I have a 2000 Ford ranger 2.5 l I have a serious problem that I cannot conquer maybe you have some answers for me please send me a message my man believe me it would be a great 😁😁😁😁

You dont have to remove the fan if it has the fan shroud probably the top half of it
Good looks!
After your done, How do you purge the system??

@@481cristian The coolant is also not looking its best and needs to be flushed, along with the heater core.

@@481cristian obd is not reading the engine temp. The coolant looks dirty. Do you thing this would cause not to read? Or perhaps tstat stuck open?
What kinda silicone do you use?
You can use grey or black the gasket maker one
@@481cristian alright, thank you
You only have to take the top hose ?
Yes
May be the Motor has covid? Why mask?
Worst video I've since seen. Trying to find left bolt. Can't feel it. Have no ideal where it is
Hello everyone I need some replacement bolts for the housing . Can anyone help me with the thread size and length please, thanks.
Usually this is the measurements for the different types 4.0L and 2.3L the bolt/thread size is M8-1.25 x 18.
For the 3.0L the bolt/thread size is M8-1.25 x 40 whats the exact year make and model of the vehicle ?
What if you have a 2.5L engine 1998
1998 2.5L ford ranger
Hey Christian what if your Ford Ranger is a 2.5L 1998?
You seem to know a lot about Ford rangers I have a 2000 Ford ranger 2.5 l I have a serious problem that I cannot conquer maybe you have some answers for me please send me a message my man believe me it would be a great 😁😁😁😁
