Ford F834 Posted June 7, 2022 Author Share Posted June 7, 2022 I found that a long blad screw driver going down the goose neck and through the thermostat (gently!) Can helpbretain the tgermostat in the housing until its snugged down. Its also worth noting that the torque spec for the fasteners for the thermostat housing (atleast on a 300, and from memory) is 18 ftlbs. Not much. Sorry to hear your wife isnt feeling well. Thank you! 18 ft lbs isn’t much! Admittedly I was not using a torque wrench but I am curious where it was when it broke. I know it also “wasn’t much”… 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel sheepish that it was something so basic but I’m glad it is solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm new to vehicle maintenance; so many of these threads are an education in themselves. Keep it up! I'm listening intently and value the experience of this group.
