Product Details and Specifications

The Dorman 902-1044 thermostat housing is engineered to meet the exact requirements of Ford F-250, F-250 HD, and F-350 trucks. Its metal construction provides strength and resistance to heat and pressure within the cooling system. The included gasket ensures a tight seal between the housing and engine block, preventing coolant leaks. With two mounting holes sized at 0.313 inches, installation aligns perfectly with factory mounting points. The 45-degree neck angle is designed to maintain proper hose routing and coolant flow. This housing does not include a thermostat or bolts, so those components must be sourced separately if needed.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Ford F-250 (various model years)
• Ford F-250 HD (Heavy Duty)
• Ford F-350 trucks

This thermostat housing is ideal for replacing worn, cracked, or leaking housings in the cooling system of these Ford trucks, helping to maintain engine temperature and prevent overheating.

Common Issues Addressed by This Thermostat Housing

• Coolant leaks caused by cracked or damaged housing
• Overheating due to improper coolant flow
• Corrosion or wear compromising seal integrity
• Loose or misaligned mounting points affecting coolant circulation
• Replacement of factory housing during engine repairs or upgrades

Installation Notes and Tips

Before installation, ensure the engine is cool and the cooling system is depressurized. Remove the old thermostat housing carefully to avoid damaging surrounding components. Clean the mounting surface thoroughly to ensure a proper seal with the included gasket. Use the two 0.313-inch mounting holes to secure the housing firmly, but avoid overtightening bolts (not included). Verify the 45-degree neck angle aligns with the coolant hose for correct routing. Since the thermostat is not included, install a compatible thermostat separately if required.
