I want to replace my thermostat housing but don't know the right part number. Could you please help me with the part number or a link to purchase it? The VIN is 1fafp33p32w318992.

Good morning, sir,

This thermostat housing doesn't have the pipe which connects to the heater core. So, it is not a match. Can I get the one that has four (4) outlets. Thank you very much and God bless you real good.

I see the problem; this is a signal overhead camshaft which the one above is for the dual overhead camshaft.

Here is how the job is done on your car:

The one for my vehicle is contained in those images. It is SOHC, but the link is different. If you can provide the part number, it might help in the search or send another link, please. I appreciate your efforts and concern. God continue to keep you and bless you.

Sure, here is the part number but it looks like it is obsolete at the dealer:

Thermostat Housing #2M5Z8592AA

You might need to get a used unit.

Good day boss, let me use this medium to appreciate your painstaking effort in helping to resolve this. I contacted fordpartsgiant.com and they offer the same part number 2M5Z8592AA. When I searched the web with it, the thermostat housing that showed up doesn't have the heater pipe. I try to get a used one from car-part.com but not getting positive responses from most of the recyclers and the ones available are for DOHC which I think it is the same with this. You could just review further or send a link for aftermarket or remanufacture one. I will be very glad to get the idea one. Thanks a million times and God bless you in all you do.

Good morning, sir, it has been a while. I have purchased the thermostat housing and the hoses. Thanks for all the support and guidance. Please, I also want to know. Can you indicate to me where the hose from the metal on the thermostat entered in the firewall? Couldn't locate it in the firewall. Just indicate it. Thanks very much for all you do and God bless you.
