Literally the best tutorial for DYI’rs on the Tube. Thank you very much & you make an awesome teacher.

Just did this. A few notes to hopefully help others. The wire harness on my was much more snug, I had to remove the top hose and bolts and was able to remove the housing out of the back, leaving the harness in place. I drained close to 5 quarts of coolant which was enough for me to remove all hoses without excess drip, I still had a little coolant left in the reservoir (not even close to the cold fill point) I ended up putting roughly 7 quarts back in and still need to add another 2 quarts. I've read that these hold 11 of it's bone dry so I was pretty close to emptying it completely. I was worried about rust so I sprayed the bolts with pb blaster a few times leading up to the swap. Fortunately there wasn't an issue. Thanks for the video. We'll see how this one works out

[@hbkmoy]

is this the same process for the v8 models?

How about a video showing the procedure for a 2002 explorer with a 4.6 engine? There doesn't seem to be a video of this as it looks like it would involve a hundred more steps with that engine.
