Ford Trucks and SUVs

follow the upper radiator hose to the intake manifold from the radiator, the little bubble shaped housing is where the thermostat is. remove the hose and you should be able to see it. is is a real pain in the a** to get the bolts out on the newer models. especially the 4.2. this is the easiest way to locate the thermostat on any vehicle with a few exceptions of course.

Standard, 5 X 5.3" or metric, 5 X 135

Ford calls their 360 cubic inch a ( 5.9 liter ) the 302 cubic inch is the 5.0

For a 1999 Ford F-150 , 4.2 liter V6 engine :

With engine oil filter change :

( 6.0 U.S. quarts / 5.7 litres of engine oil )

I don't believe it stands for anything . It is just one of the trim levels on a

Ford Explorer . Such as XL , which became XLS , XLT , Eddie Bauer , Limited

A ford F-150 is a tougher truck. You can haul a heavier load of stuff with it, and Ford is a more respected company overall. The ford also has better customer reviews.

I've had my 2002 ford ranger for 8 years with 141000 on the clock and its still going strong.I've had no major faults.If yours has the Mazda engine in it like mine then they will go on forever..

Good Luck...

which year and in what condition

# Enter the permanent factory remote keyless entry (RKE) keypad code. # Press the 1/2 button within 5 seconds to activate the programming mode. Holding the 1/2 button for more than 2 seconds after activation erases the stored customer code. The door locks lock, then unlock, confirming the code is erased. The existing code does not need to be erased to program a new code. # Within 5 seconds , enter the new 5-digit RKE keypad code. The door locks lock and unlock to confirm the new code is programmed.

There are 4 O2 sensors on my 1997 F-150. There are 2 just after the exhaust manifolds (one on either side of the engine). These two are visible in the engine bay but are easier to remove through the wheelwell after removing the splashguard. The other two are just after the catalytic converters, again one on either side. i'm assuming your check engine light is on and you had a diagnostics done. the bank 1 sensors are on the passenger side of the vehicle and bank 2 is drivers side, at least in my truck. in fords in general bank 1 is on the side of cylinder 1 in the firing order. sensor 1(upstream) is the ones in the engine bay and sensor 2 (downstream) is after the cats... hope this helps, i jus got done doing mine and i found that if sensor 1 goes that #2 tries to pick up the slack and it too will fail soon. its best to replace them in pairs on the same bank side

75W-90 is typically used as an "all around" gear oil for medium and heavy duty truck diffs.

You need tools to remove them... which tools those are specifically depends on the make and model of the engine. The ones I remove are on large diesel engines which power Class 8 tractor-trailer units - probably not going to be the same set of tools you'd use on a passenger car or SUV.

there are companies like vintage air that make kits but it is much cheaper to go to a auto wrecker and pull an entire system from donor car.
