My Ranger has been sputtering around 40mph and 2000 rmp's, with rough starts in the morning. It has also been loosing small amounts of coolant and I have a lot of white smoke (steam) coming out of the tail pipe. I do not have any coolant leaking external. I have pressure tested the heads and all...

OK, this problem has been confusing me for some time now. It's a '92 Explorer XLT automatic. When I drive the engine temp shows it's pretty cool, then all of the sudden it will skyrocket and the heat goes out. When I pull over, the overflow bottle is pouring out antifreeze. Here is the list of...

I need to replace my upper radiator hose. Can I just take the old one off and stick the new one on? Or do I need to worry about getting the air out of system?
