I'm mainly interested in the smoothest ride possible and never do any off road riding. The Ford dealership was Mike Castrucci in Milford, Ohio. Trac511: What did the Michellin LTX MS/2's cost you? Thanks to all!

I bought Goodyear Wrangler tires for two sets of tire changes, but this last time I changed to General Grabber 255/70 R16 tires. The Wranglers seemed to wear a bit unevenly even when I had an allignment and road force balancing done. It would happen over time and when I took them back to Ford...

I replaced my thermostat, thermostat housing (upper and lower), ECT sensor and sender, and hose between the housing and water pump. It's going to be a real PITA job. I actually found my original hose to be in great shape, but at that point decided to replace it anyway. I found that it was...

swshawaii and eddie, I installed the ECT sensor, gauge sender, thermostat, thermostat upper and lower housing, and thermostat to water pump hose. Thanks to you both. The link to bengrosser was invaluable! My intake manifold may have been a little lower than his, but his many tips served me...

swshawaii, Tomorrow I go in to Ford parts and pick up my Motorcraft parts. Thanks for sending me the info from bengrosser outlining how to install the thermostat and housing. It was so helpful. I've decided, in addition to installing my ECT sensor, to go ahead and put in a new ECT sender; a...

swshawaii, 1/2"' space would be enough, but there's only about 1/8" space above the connector plug wires and the lower housing. I keep trying to send a picture, but am unable to. The picture on the left with the cap still on appears to be just like mine, because it's almost right up against...

The sensor is not unplugged because there is not enough clearance above it to allow unplugging. That's why I'd like to remove both the sensor and electrical plug at the same time, then remove the plug and connect the new sensor to it and return both to the sensor port in the thermostat housing.

swshawaii and Evan: Actually, after having taken the clip off the base of the ECT Sensor, I've found that there is only about 1/8" clearance above the electrical connector and does not seem to be enough play for me to pull the sensor out. If I had a 1/4" clearance I think it would be enough to...

I purchased a replacement engine coolant temperature sensor today for my 2002 Sport Trac that now has 204,000 miles on it. It has the pop in rather screw in sensor. If I take the clip off the original sensor, will it tilt out such that I can have more clearance to remove the electrical...
