#15 of 18 Ford Ranager Radiator Pressure by svacik Nov 12, 2008 (4:03 pm)
I have replace the thermostat, flushed it 3 times, radiator cap, and still the system builds pressure while driving to blow the lid off the reserve tank. The temp gauge will be normal then start going in reverse to the cold side and at that point it blows the lid off the reserve tank and sprays coolant all over. Does anyone have an idea why it is doing this please? Replies to this message: printman716 (Oct 09, 2009 6:03 pm)

#18 of 18 This Ranger Of Mine.....Click Click.....BOOM!!! by printman716 Oct 11, 2009 (4:46 am)
I'm at my wits end! Does anybody know what the .... going on with this truck? I replaced everything, the cap, thermostat, control knobs, hoses, flushed 3 times, and still temp gauge goes up and down and no heat, it used to build pressure and back out the tank but that stopped. I found the Consumer Guide Review on this and this is what it says to do. Question Is did anybody have this problem and fixed It!?!?   Accessory belt: Squealing serpentine drive belt due to faulty water pump pulley on 4.6L V6 engine. (2001) Air conditioner: The air-conditioner hose may rub against the radiator hose and one, or both, develop leaks. (1998) Audio system: The in-tank fuel pump causes a whining or buzzing noise to come through the radio speakers. (1998-99) Battery: The battery tray may have burrs that cut into the battery causing it to leak and eventually fail. (1998) Engine misfire: Hesitation or surging when accelerating is caused by a faulty mass airflow sensor. (1998- 99) Engine misfire: The truck may feel like it is thumping or jerking under acceleration due to a problem with the driveshaft requiring replacement. (1998-99) Heater core: Installing a restrictor in the heater inlet hose may repair heater cores leaks. (1998-2002) Timing belt: The timing chain on 4.0-liter V6 may make noise in hard acceleration. A repair kit is available. (1999-2000) Transmission problems: Transmission flare when shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear is due to shift solenoid malfunction. (1998-2001) Vehicle noise: A hammering noise occurs due to steam forming in the cooling system requiring a coolant bypass retrofit kit. (1998-00) Please let me know....Phil
