2005 Ford Ranger
Engine Cooling problem
2005 Ford Ranger 4 cyl Four Wheel Drive Manual 72.000 miles
engine seems to be running hot, but the temperature gauge is normal, bottom hose is cold, think it might be thermostat closed, but not sure exactly where the housing for thermostat would be, think it is bottom hose ?
