    Aside from removing the fan shroud, fan clutch, fan and serpentine belt, is there anything else that needs to be removed to access the water pump? With 120k on this vehicle, currently I am experiencing catastrophic failures of the transmission, engine oil gaskets and now the cooling system...

    Possible Blown Head Gasket on 03 Ranger 4.0

    Found what appears to be coolant residue on the back side of the engine and bellhousing. The running temp in the truck has not changed though (she still sits at a little after a quarter hot). Also, oil looks ok, no coolant so far. Has someone else experienced this? Is this a coolant hose that...
