If your temperature gauge is below 195 degrees it is more than likely a faulty thermostat.

- I am not a professional mechanic. This is not professional advice. I am merely a backyard mechanic. Work on cars at your own risk. If your temperature gauge is showing that your engine is running too cold it will not run well. Typical engines need to operate between 195 and 205 degrees. If your operating temperature is below 195 your thermostat is probably "stuck open" and needs to be replaced. In this episode I not only explain the importance of correctly operating thermostat but also show you how to replace the thermostat in a 2000 GMC Sierra SLE with a 4.8l Vortec engine.

I honestly want to say thank you sir.
I guess Im asking randomly but does someone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly lost my password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
@Duncan Calvin instablaster =)
@Lucca Mathias Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Lucca Mathias It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my ass :D
@Duncan Calvin Glad I could help :)
Is lowering coolant output temperature a good idea by using one of those performance radiators?
Would a stuck or open thermostat kill my coolant after being full amd driving for 15 minutes, but doesn't go lower while cars on idle?
I have the same issue lack of heat and it’s only 64 degrees by me.
i have change both of the thermostats on the body housing Tested some sensors and no luck
2019 there was a recall for the catholic converter. This is my fathers car so I don’t really know when the issue started as he don’t drive the car much as you can tell from the mileage Anything will help, any advice.
After warming up my car the thermostat goes to the middle but if it’s cold outside my thermostat as I’m driving goes all way back down to cold what could be the problem
Its getting to much cooling the thermostat is stuck open Thermostat stuck open Most likely it can cus it to be more cooler and take longer to heat up right and never gose to the middle at higher speeds and in the coldereather or it could be as simple as its just the The Temperature gauge is broken
Just replaced my thermostat because my heat in the truck and the temp on the gauge are very low. Tested old thermostat it works properly. Why won’t my engine get up to normal temp. When I’m driving it goes almost down to lowest temp on gauge 160F, when Im parked at idle temp gauge goes up a couple little lines on gauge but not normal temp. What could be the issue? Any thoughts?
Same here@@bigpapa6835
I put a larger radiator in my 94 silverado and kept the 195 thermostat but it stays around 155 to 170 on the temp gauge, also my heater is only running around 110 to 113 in the cab. Any ideas to help a feller out?
No problemmm.. you can cover a small aprt of your radiator with a cardbaorda and give a try . if you fell better,
I just changed my thermostat last year and this year it’s not getting warm it stops between the 160 and 210 never moves up
Could it be the thermostat or the sensor
75C to 98_C its ok...its a good range
The real question should I use stant super stat or gates oem thermostat? 2012 Kia forte ex.
do not touch it unless you start seeing a strange behaviour in tempratire and way it work, parts for new car are a garbage factorries only produce garbage,, this is a case of jsutice and governemnte fiscalization
My mechanic guy just Lower the Temperature gauge to about 100 degrees which is only 1/2 ( half) of the Operating temperature on PURPOSE. Is it Safe to Drive now. My car Problem was The Radiator keep BLEW UP. TOO MUCH PRESSURE SOMEWHERE. Could Not figure out what the PROBLEM is. My mechanic guy said it was the Gasket Blew that cause the problem. So I just Replaced the Engine with another USED ENGINE. the Radiator Blew AGAIN. HELP HELP
come here i solve your problem for life...
Make sure your radiator cap is correct, it should open up to release pressure
CRAP....I wanted to see that stuck thermostat you removed !!! Also I would have used a thin film of RTV silicone and let it dry for about 30 minutes on the new rubber seal to make sure it stays in place before bolting the neck back on. It is always a pain in the ass to put new coolant in too, since none of the new radiators have an old style fill neck on top,.....engineering genius,...NOT. LOL.
Hello Scott That's Not The Problem with my Truck Brand new Thermostat, And even running for hours and will not warmup to temp to Open The Thermostat
Hey Gary .. did you ever find out the problem on your truck, I am having the same exact problem with my 02 Yukon and don’t know what it is, already changed thermostat
@@albertjones9171 Check your Engine coolant temp (sensor)
I just put a new thermostat and new engine coolant sensor and it's still running cold 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
@@johnbeasley7654 were you able to figure it out? I am have same problem.
@Supreme_Solution OYL no I haven't had time to really work on it. I'm prolly just gonna take it to a shop. I'm thinking I just got a bad thermostat but the thermostat assembly is like $110 so I dont wanna just keep throwing parts at it.
My Dodge 1998.5 24 Valve Ram Diesel 5.9 in the cold weather will Not warm all the way up to 195°
It can idle for hours even go for a drive, the dash temp gauge will show Approx 190° but a temp gun right on the Block Thermostat housing never get up above 170°
@Douglas Nathan yeah I hear ya, but this is a pick up truck and the round town MPG has declined dramatically and coupled with the Purposefully cause fuel price increase of $1.60/ gallon by Sock Puppet fool BIDEN, the performance loss is increasingly Untenable.
Also I know that Semi Trucks put a special Radiator Blanket over the front of the radiator with adjustable flaps to control/ block the air flow so Thier trucks will warm up.
@Douglas Nathan Has nothing to do with politics just like oil and gas prices. Poor dummies believe anything the wealthy tell them lol.
On my Dodge , same as yours, I found that in the old weather it helps a lot if you can get a Blanket like the 18 wheelers use to block the cold , they place it behind the grill in front of the radiator
Need some help. 2014 Silverado 4.3 105k miles Temperature is stuck at 160 and fans keep running constantly until I pull the fuse. No codes with both of my scanners. I replaced the thermostat sensor and it worked fine for a day and back to square one. I have the thermostat to replace next. My question is will the cold air intake I installed cause this issue. It was fine until the temperature dropped outside.
Failed to mention with the scanner hooked up when the temp sensor was working the scanner was off at least 60+ degrees difference than the gauge in the truck.
My question is what’s next. I keep reading different things that the ac pressure sensor the map sensor could also cause this.
Please help if anyone else is experiencing this issue what did ya do to fix this problem.
dont invent in your car, fan switch may have a problem..
I have a audi A3 2005 tfsi, and its having a heating problem. The temperature never reached 90 decrees Celsius before I changed the thermostat, now it reaches 90 after I changed it, but it takes about 15-20 minute of driving when it should take about 5-10 minutes. So I changed the temp sensor but that didn’t speed up the heating either. I’ve tried to bleed the system of air without succes. Anyone who knows what it can be or if you have or had the same issue?
Similar is hapening to me, with Citroen xsara. If temp reaches 75, by pushing gas pedal and making 2000 rpm or so, temp goes down. Also with AC turned on, temp is constantly just about 60 because ventilator is engaged, and cool radiator constantly. And yes, thermostat is changed , maybe 4 times.😟😀😀😀😀
your new thermostat may have a problem..when coil is weak it may get more tim for correct emp, i wouldnt mind with it , check fule consuption in computer if it rises better get a new thermo
@@colloidalsilverwater15ppm88 ventilator may not be engaged,, if your temp is 75
In My Car From the last month I am facing weired issues:
- Fuel Tank Got Shrinked Which caused wrong fuel indication.
After installing a new Tank i am seeing whenever I open my fuel tank cap, air vacuum releases.
- Another problem is. My temperature gauge is going 1/4 only.
2 months ago I serviced this car.
Oil change, Oil Filter change, Air filter change, Installed thermostat which was not installed before,
After servicing I ran 150kms. Everything ran fine,
But now I am facing these two issue.
Steps I have taken
: Checked temperature guage by grounding it. It works fine.
So I installed new temperature sensor.
But same thing happening.
@Herson Cuc issue has been resolved.
Issue was ground wire on thermostat
@@irajeshtailor your thermostat has a wire? ahaahaah it was not closingg
