    My list of Explorer - "How to" videos

    I just put a new thermostat in my Explorer last night, I wanted to mention one thing thats very important. One of the bolts going through the neck into the intake is longer than the other, make sure you dont mix them up. The longer one goes to your left (passenger side)
