First and foremost, happy new year! I hope the beginning of the year has been great so far!

It's been a while since I've been on here! I have been really busy with school (about to graduate!), and I made the decision to stay as far away as possible from you guys on the forum just so I won't be tempted to spend money on mods for the pony (broke college student problems). :P

Anyway, on to the issue at hand. To keep things short and simple, last week I took my car to the Ford dealership to get the Works done like I do once or twice a year. After they were done I was given the quick run around: battery is ok, fluids have been filled, etc. One problem though, I was told there was a coolant leak. I was quoted around $450 to fix it, to which I replied with a loud hahahaha and left. Ok, the laughing part didn't happen.

But anyway, a quick search showed that it is a common problem for us 4.0 V6'rs to have a coolant leak, specifically in the thermostat housing. I checked it today and think I have found it, just want a confirmation from you guys.

That would be the infamous split thermostat housing.

Replace it with the aluminum one. It is hit or miss on how long the plastic one lasts.

JimC is right, The 4.0 is notorious in regards to this issue.

Use this one, never replace it again http://www.ebay.com/itm/2005-2010-mustang-4-0-metal-thermostat-housing-/301276755702?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AMustang&hash=item46257e76f6&vxp=mtr
