My 97 4.0 Ranger's thermostat is in the front of the engine. I has two bolts you have to take off. I had to replace the gasket. Leaked when I got on it hard. It's called the "thermostat housing. Thermostat is easy to replace. Great engine.

Follow the upper radiator hose from the radiator to the engine. The thermostat is located within the housing where the radiator hose connects tot he engine. Drain radiator, remove hose from thermostat housing, remove the bolts that fasten the housing to the engine and pull off housing, pull out thermostat noticing the direction it is pointing. Installation is reverse of removal (making sure thermostat is facing in the right direction). Refill radiator with 50/50 water/antifreeze solution.

Remove the 2 bolts at the thermostat housing. The upper hose goes to the thermostat housing.
