Gates CO34838 engine coolant water outlet for the 2003-2006 Lincoln LS V8 3.9L and other vehicles directs coolant out of the engine. It comes as an assembly with seals and a thermostat.
Coolant seepage around the outlet, a visible crack or a falling coolant level can mean the water outlet is wearing out. These signs alone do not prove the outlet is the problem; a loose hose clamp can leak in much the same way. The outlet is designed to fit and perform like the original.
It fits the 2003-2006 Lincoln LS V8 3.9L and the 2003-2005 Ford Thunderbird V8 3.9L, and each takes one.
