Changed Thermostat... broke a part :(

[jgauthier]

Hey Everyone. I changed the thermostat in my 2007 Explorer tonight. When I was putting things back, I snagged on something and broke it. Unfortunately, I don't know what it is. I've attached a photo of it in place, and broken.

Can anyone tell me what this is so I can replace it? It's currently sitting on my desk being glued... but I'd prefer to just replace it.

Thanks!

For a quick fix just go buy a high temp rubber hose and clamps. Until you get a replacement.

Thanks guys! That looks like it's the one. I'll have to call my Ford parts place and see if they can get it. I can't find it on any of the local parts places.

there is a good chance your dealer is going to charge 4x the price of whitebearlake even after shipping costs.... make sure its the right part and order from that website! everybody here uses that dealers site to buy dealer only items

The dealer sells it at the list price that's shown on the page you linked ($30.70 in this case). If the shipping is more than $10 you come out ahead buying it locally. Of course a larger order or more expensive part makes a lot more sense to order though.
