Detailed Fitment and Application

This thermostat housing is a direct replacement for cooling system service on 1986-1995 Ford and Mercury V6 applications, including 1988-1995 Ford Taurus, 1995 Ford Windstar, 1988-1995 Mercury Sable, 1988-1994 Lincoln Continental, and 1986-1992 Ford Aerostar. It also cross-references Four Seasons 84999 for the same application. Use Dorman 902-1036 when replacing a cracked, warped, or leaking thermostat housing on these vehicles.

Common Problems This Part Can Help Solve

  • Coolant leaks at the thermostat housing
  • Cracked or corroded original housing
  • Warped sealing surface that prevents a proper gasket seal
  • Loose or damaged thermostat mounting area
  • Cooling system service on aging Ford and Mercury V6 engines

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the outlet port diameter, mounting hole spacing, and 90-degree neck angle before installation. Transfer the thermostat only if the existing unit is serviceable, since this housing does not include a thermostat. Clean the mating surfaces thoroughly and install with the included gasket to help achieve a proper seal.
