How to replace a thermostat in a Ford Expedition?

Don't drive without a thermostat as it can affect emissions and fuel economy. Before blaming the thermostat, check coolant level, drivebelt tension, and temperature gauge. If the engine takes long to warm up or runs hot without the upper radiator hose being hot, the thermostat is likely faulty and needs replacement. Overheating can cause engine damage. To replace the thermostat, drain coolant below the thermostat housing level, disconnect the upper radiator hose, remove the cover and O-ring seal, and note the thermostat's installation. Install a new thermostat with the correct opening temperature, clean the mating surfaces, and apply RTV sealant to a new gasket or O-ring seal. Reattach the cover, radiator hose, refill the system, check for leaks, and repeat steps if necessary.

Ford Expedition Thermostat

The Thermostat of a car is a part of the cooling system and it usually is placed near the Radiator of the vehicle, and in the Ford Expedition it plays a significant role. Its main work is to control temperature inside the engine so as to give it the desired efficiency. Thermostats are feedback control devices that act to detect or measure a certain desired temperature set point important in residential and some industrial uses. Mechanical thermostats like bimetallic strips and wax pellets may be used to regulate the temperatures of the Ford Expedition vehicles. These thermostats work in the manner of turning on or off heating or cooling devices to maintain good temperature for the better performance and comfort during travelling in an RV.
