Does the Ford dealership sell parts? Where can I find a petcock for my car's radiator hose?
I was working on my car a few weeks ago. I was replacing my radiator reservoir because it was spewing the coolant everywhere. When I was done flushing out tge coolant I went to go screw the petcock screw back in and it was like dry rotted and the top piece came off so it's just the screw part that's stuck in there. A few weeks go by and now my coolant light is coming on and the only thing that I can think of is the petcock came loose and now it's leaking or maybe the hose is leaking. Either way that screw has to get replaced. I've been to AutoZone and AutoWay and O'Reilly auto parts and none of them have it. It as made of plastic and the car I drive is a 2001 Ford Escape XLT V6. If I go down to the Ford dealership will they have one or should I just go drive down to an auto salvage yard?

You can try the dealer, but most likely you're looking at a new radiator. Pros never open the petcock for this very reason. They remove the lower hose. Keep that in mind on your next repair.
- My upper radiator hose is hot and the bottom one is cold, is this a problem? I recently replaced the thermostat and new antifreeze. The top side of the radiator (upper hose area) is very hot, the opposite side (lower hose) is cold. Truck is not overheating, it has great heat, I would sweat to death if I left it on too long. 2003 Ford Ranger 4 Cyl 2.3
- Is it better try sell at Carmax or a Dealership? I have a 2014 Ford Focus SE sedan that has about 23,000 miles. It is in a very good condition. I'm planning on selling it soon but I still owe about 12,000 to the bank. How does this process work if you still owe and is it better to sell at Carmax or a dealership?

- Can't find the exact heater hose I need? I have a Ford F150 and the heater hose under the intake has a hole in it. I can find a hose similar but not the same. I'm assuming the engine has been swapped. It's supposed to be a 2003 4.6 but the hose for that is missing a piece that is supposed to attach to the throttle body. Any ideas on how to find the hose I need? I've searched 2003 +/- 2 years.
