what has a good Warranty, along with price new or used just keep in mind your ford WP got you to your miles you have now!

it's easy if you have the fan clutch tool, to take the fan off the pump

its not bad at all to replace it, skill wise, it did take me a while though. its pretty self-explanatory once you get into it.

What do you mean theres no aftermarket replacement. Places like autozone have it for like $150. I personally bought the motorcraft brand for my truck last week because I didn't want any failures to come.

Not that hard to take off and reassemble. Remove the fan clutch and shroud. Autozone has the wrench to rent with a $50 down payment collateral fee. Transfer the water sensor and the water inlet on the top, thermostat and thermostat housing. If the housing needs replaced, get a ford part and not an aftermarket brand. . If your thermostat is in good condition and the seal looks good and not stretched or swelled up, then you can use it again.
