I don't know what the hell is going on anymore. . . .
I have a ton of parts that i have been installing on my 09 Expedition and so far the fitment is crap.
The absolutely moronic lower radiator hoes with the ONLY not so quick disconnect fitting. The new Motorcraft hose of course will absolutely not push onto the existing radiator, same results with a Gates hose. . . Removing the O-ring make zero difference. The inside diameter is just too small. . . .
I stuck the new hose on the old crap connector with a new o-ring and got it assembled. I don't like it at all, but that's all I could do to get it together.
I get everything back together, low and behold, the mfing clutch fan will not thread onto my new Motorcraft waterpump!!!! WTF! The threads on the new pump are entirely too large. . . . The fan clutch was replaced about a year ago with a motorcraft one, so I don't know what the hell is going on anymore. . . The dealer, O-rielly, and Rockauto say the water pump I purchased is what is supposed to be on there. It looks slightly different from the one that came off. . . .
