- 2000 Explorer XLS
Just bought a 2000 XLS with the OHV 4.0 and with a thermostat it will overheat but have no heat,without the thermostat it doesn't overheat but has heat.First Ford I've owned and only paid $200 for it.Update....pulled thermostat which is brand new,filled with water/at started up started running hot cracked rad cap and slowly loosened it got cap off after relieving pressure and it became a geyser.It does have 180,000 miles on it,could it be a bad water pump,clogged radiator or head gaskets? Any advice would be appreciated. Only paying $200 for it affords me some monies to put parts on but don't wanna play chase the problem.
