Howdy, welcome to Jester's Garage. The home to my crippling addiction of cars/mini bikes/anything mechanical, and maybe even more of my other hobbies eventually! I appreciate you checking out the channel!
Come watch me struggle, as I work on all of my stalled and neglected projects, and keeping my daily drivers on the road. After a bit of a hiatus from working on cars more frequently like I used to, watch me struggle and relearn things I've forgotten, and maybe show some things you may not already know... or just the completely wrong way to do it.
I'm just an average guy with no formal automotive training just wrenching on all of his junk.
I'm just getting things started here, so if you have any video suggestions based on my stable of projects, let me know and I'll look into it!
Follow me on Instagram, @ jesters_garage. I'm still sorta figuring out IG too, but hopefully more content coming on there too...
Hoping to make 2021 a great year for the channel! Thanks for stopping by!

Running behind on working on my cars so I decided to attend the local neighborhood car show for the first time in approx. 10 years with my dad and his '65 Fairlane and make a quick video. It was a beautiful day for it! Enjoy!
4.0L Ford Ranger/Explorer miracle coolant leak cure? Installing a new thermostat housing on my truck
zhlédnutí 20KPřed 3 lety
Is there a such thing as a miracle cure for the plagued plastic thermostat housing for these 4.0 Rangers or Explorers? I'm going to install an aluminum one on my ole pickup truck, and hope to find out! Come watch me struggle my way through this in my second youtube video, now with editing!

My first attempt at an actual video for my channel. Sorry in advance for the squirrel/shiney object narration/video direction. All done in one take on my cell phone. No fancy editing. I have no idea what program to use to do that! Watch me struggle as I work on my '94 GT that I've owned since 2005. This is my first attempt at this, so be gentle! Also featured in this video, 30 minutes of gratui...
Came for the pump replacement, stayed for his wiring mistake, thanks
Where in the world did you find the aluminum housing with screw in sensors?
Thanks for taking the time on showing this. It really helped. Mahalo.
“Just like that” my ass! That back seat middle thing does not want to come off!
the cheapest and more effective no BS
One sensor is for the computer and the other is for the gauge in the cluster.
My 08 xd same color is doing same thing.
i recommend a convertible 88 cabriolet 5 speed for a nice daily fixing one up now and its the perfect daily car 50 mpg you can dump the clutch at any speed and any rpm and is shifts like butter and its light and quick the steering is amazing too takes bumps better than my 03 gt on all new suspension
At least you did not have to take intake manifold off! Good job thanks for sharing! Amazon has plug in sensors.
nice video you could loose the music
Should of replace your timing chain tensioner when you have the thermostat off. So easy now I have to remove it again to put it in. 😟
My car starts but the idol gets so low it stalls. Could that be a fuel pump issue?
Hey, how are you? How did that workout for you? I’m still trying to find the right sensor for the aluminum housing replacement . Does anyone know? The part # for a screw in for the 2001 4.0L engine? The thanks.
So two years later how has the aluminum housing held up? This is my third time replacing it and I'm looking for "the Catch". The first time I replaced it all three bolts broke off in the block. The Ford dealership charged me $45 for those three bolts. I want this to be the last time I replace it.
That last fuel line you took off of the pump, push toward the pump and squeeze the clip. Then slide off. Clip will stay in hose connector. takes 2 hands.
I just attempted this and sadly had to remove the intake manifold due to a cross-threaded & sheared bolt when trying to mount the housing. For $1.40 at the scrapyard I got all the bolts needed. An extractor from Peavy Mart and a centre punch got the old one out. Much easier with the intake out, but I'm glad you and so many others were able to leave it on instead.
I solved your problem with the sending units for the aluminum thermostat housing.
I am about to install the very same aluminum thermostat housing on my 01 Ranger 4 L. I'm so glad I watched your video first it made me aware of the problem with the sensors. Where were you able to get more screw in sensors I would like to get some I will need them as well
Your video is a great help Jester's Garage-thanks for taking your time to help all of us out here. I especially needed help with the rear bench seat removal step and you showed the basics of how to get that done. I used a pair of long needle nose pliers to gain a bit more 'push' to get the hoop of the seat over the clip of the bracket. But I was clueless without you leading me how to get it done. Your video in conjunction with : czcams.com/video/PJnqkDSZpz8/video.html (2006 Scion Xb fuel pump by Deville429) really helps us first gen Scion owners perform these kinds of fuel related repairs/maintenance. Thank you again!
I saw another video of the aluminum replacement with the clip in sensors for the Ranger.
Hi! I have a scion and I have been told my girl pump is bad. I love in so cal. I have been messed with a lot. I want to know if there any good places in so cal to take my scion to be checked. Anyone know? Or can help?
🍀☘️⭐🌟⭐🌟🌟👍
7:56 Hi , I saw the whole video and i did not find the part that shows the fuel pressure port
Pretty damn nifty!!
At least they got a access panel..most cars dont..
Freaking Genius Jesse Talmage
It was my friend's idea but I said hooold up I gotta film that!
Nice bench,, lol..wanna sellit?
Taka pic tool to clean the Phillips 1st.
Lol . Why were you in there before?
Didn't use the harness ground
Great video! Thanks. I bought the same unit but without the thermostat. I'm waiting till the weather changes in my unheated garage (-25c) to finish the install. I guess I'll be using my wife's hair dryer to heat up the parts tomorrow. Ha!. I was wondering if you still recall the actual thermostat part number of the thermostat? If it has the emergency pressure bypass hole drilled into the flange, and if the hole is necessary at all?. Some have them, some don't. If you have the radiator cap part number and specs that you feel works well with your thermostat, that would be great?
i bought that same thermostat housing last year, the inlet and outlet hoses ruptured and as i was takin the housing out to replace the hoses, I notice the sealer on the inlet port where the small hose goes, had eroded some and i was able to spin the port. im thinking putting rtv sealer on it and see if it holds up. the housing itself is pretty good, it’ll outlast the hoses ik that much. lmk your thoughts
I installed longer bolts down through the housing and put nuts on the bottom. This keeps the seams from separating, has worked so far.
did the same thing wen they told me it was 250 dollars to fix it. my ass more like 2.50 🤣
i just got my aluminum housing for my 2003 Ranger 4.0L and am hesitant to put it in without a few days to play with lol my sensors are the clip in style! i was wondering if you could put the connections on the sensors while you were putting in the housing and save your hands? Also curious as to if you could put the top hose on before bolting the housing in, i will have to try that
Spend a little bit of money for quality
I would buy a msd probillett distributor with a screaming coil along with e3 spark plugs
What camshaft did you put in the engine?
It's stock with over 240,000 miles. The single chamber "super 10" Flowmasters with tailpipes really bring out the sound of a stock cam.
My 2000 Explorer has stock screw in sensors, clip in came later.
Sell me that Sn95 I’ll bring it back to life.
my fuel pump crapped out on me in september and again yesterday, going to fix the root cause and drop the tank tomorrow. going to be fun
You don't have to drop the tank for that
@@robleppala5114 had water in the tank, bad gas and sand inside. Got it all cleaned up without dropping it. I was going to get a new tank but I was able to resolve it.
I am curious- since I had to splice a wiring plug in for the new fuel pump- if I do not get my solder and heat shrink seals water tight- or gas tight- Will that make the fuel pump not work?
Water-tight, no, won't matter. I have literally used butt-connectors before, with no heat shrink. But, I would highly recommend heat shrink. I noticed that the new plug's wires don't like solder. That's what failed on my original fix.
@@JestersGarage Yes, i noticed that as well. The new wires are thicker too. Well, I still have no car. Before I snapped the fuel pump back together- I checked all my wires for continuity and they were good. Since It still wouldn't start- I checked the connection at the pump with the wiring harness and used a test light. I get no light when I turn the engine over. I checked to make sure there are no shorts in the system by using test light and touching to battery. The relay is fine. The 2 efi fuses are fine. What am I missing??
Can you run the pump off 12v outside of the car? Like, directly connected to the battery?
@@JestersGarage I was not sure how to do that. I have since re-connected and tried staring car. Still wont start, but turns over. I checked and fuel was in fuel line from pump going to front of car when I unplugged the line. So it is working. Could bad coils or spark plugs keep car from turning over?
At this point you need to check for spark. Either with one of those spark checkers, or have someone crank the car while a coil and plug are sitting next to something metal (preferably without fuel or flammable things around) and see if you can see spark in the plug gap. If you have no spark you have another issue afoot.
How does the one way circular clip that holds the fuel strainer on go? Is it prongs down or up? I am re-assembling my fuel pump on my XA right now. I can't get the thing to go on. It almost seems like it doesnt need it because of how the strainer snaps on and is then held in place with the plastic cap and the rubber gasket.
It's been a while since I did mine, but if memory serves me, you want to put the clip on to where the "fingers" of the circular clip are pointing down/away from the strainer. Because the edges of the fingers will dig into the plastic ever so slightly and prevent it from coming off. Versus if the clip was reversed the fingers of the circular clip would slide off easily. Now, if you have the same assembly as me, once you pop the bottom on it should hold it's on I'd think. Hope that helps any.
@@JestersGarage I have tried to get the damn thing on twice now. It just doesn't want to go on. You made it look so simple when you did it. I noticed that the strainer is held on good without the clip and then held on more once the rubber gasket is in place and then the plastic case reassembled. This is my 2nd go around replacing the pump. Last week got it in and still won't engage. I figured maybe it was my wiring splice I had to do. I put another new pump in anyway to kill 2 birds.
@@GothConservative have you tried the original clip? Also, sometimes a small socket and a small hammer helps tap it on. And yeah, hey, as long as you don't have a crap solder joint like I did the first time you'll be ok haha
That whole module/assembly works by the magic of the CAN network. When you unplug everything and plug it back in. The system has to go through a “discovery” sequence and the float setup is low priority. So plug it all back together, turn it on and be patient.
Interesting! I didn't know that. Thanks for the information!
I definitely agree on the rockauto packaging.... freaking awful
Awesome first video ! Looking forward to more content like this. Looks like you’ve got a ton of possibility between the SN95, Fox body and Mustang II.
Thanks
Well if you're on your 3rd thermostat housing change you must have been the one that put the hose clamp on before the intake lol
That was actually a friend of mine. We put an engine in it at 382,xxx miles. I had to go back to work, he was off work, and he finished it up for me, but I didn't wanna outright blame him for it in my video. I had talked about it a little bit but I edited it out.
My 2011 ranger was a one temp sensor housing. The cast aluminum thermostat housing I got was the same install as OEM with OEM gaskets and sensor clips
Yeah Ford changed so much constantly. I never understood why they went with a 2 sensor housing when they both report the same thing but to two different places. Seems like something they could have split off later, which, sounds like they did
@@JestersGarage it definitely makes it easier to change the driverside timing chain tensioner not having a sensor and a sender. I had an issue with a new sensor having an o-ring that was a bit too large to fit in the port. Lol I just noticed, but I use the airbox for tool and fastener storage too!
do you have a source for this part?
Those 4.0 are junk imo. The overhead cam ones anyways. Notorious for the rear timing chain guides snapping. Ask me how I know lol
Same here. I just put an engine in it last year. It finally let go at 283,000 miles. I've had it since 59k. Regular oil changes and Lucas got me this far.
Man I was excited to find another mustang channel until I realized you only have one video of a mustang on your channel lol. You should upload more man I'd totally watch.
Working on it! I broke my leg then got the rona shortly after! And now it's cold as heck. Really hoping to get on it in spring
