RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2006 Mercury Mountaineer. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
The drain plug should be on the bottom of the radiator on one of the sides. The thermostat housing is not that hard to replace. Make sure you bleed the system after your repair. Trapped air can cause over heating.
I was watching a YouTube and someone made a comment to be careful whir the bolts one might brake in half and he had to tow it to shop so they could take it out and tap new holes how is the Thermostat housing 2 hour job is it
Can't blame 'anyone' for wanting to save a buck BUT... Something you should certainly consider before attempting to do the work is the strong possibility that a problem may occur and then you're left with no way to drive your vehicle in to a shop for repair and be forced to have it towed in anyway.. that's just mo-money!.. It's most likely drivable as is sits now, just fill up cooling system.. Maybe have this done at an auto repair shop instead, should not be that expensive! .. Just saying.
