I own a 2003 2.3 Ranger. Runs great, only has 42000 miles. All gauges normal. I hooked up my scan gauge and my water temperature is at 260.
It has the yellow coolant and it is just below the minimum mark. The upper radiator hose and the heater hoses get hot which the service manual states means the thermostat is working. The lower radiator hose stays cool. With the 2.3 motors having the thermostat at the end of the lower radiator hose, I thought it would be a bad thermostat.
Any ideas or suggestions?
