Hi I was wondering if there are websites with engine breakdowns. My mustang over heats, so I replaced the thermostat. I want to make sure I installed it correctly. My hose blew shortly after installing so I replaced that. When I took it for a ride and came back after a mile or so the upper hose was super hot and the engine once again started over heating.
