I knew you know how to work on a car just from your thumbnail picture alone 🙏

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

lol

[@mechtechtools838]

Came for the TnA but instead learned how to fix a Jeep. Thanks Jimmy👍

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks very much! lol

[@RocksNRuts4]

lol same here

[@71ImpalaLS3]

Great video, mine just threw a P0128.. Thanks, ordering Mopar Thermostat and doing myself..

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Nice Ben! Pretty straight forward repair! Just make sure to bleed the air a couple times, before and after starting it for a minute. :)

[@keyshafowler7929]

Thank you much! This helped me figure out my code!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Glad I could help!

[@tonycroteau9264]

[@VerisonMember]

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@nosliwttam77]

Good video👍

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks Matt!

[@Techpodshed]

I had same code and check engine light on, I changed thermostat then it over heated within driving 2 miles would overheat. So took thermostat off and pulled out spring problem solved.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

You likely had an air pocket. These need the air bled out since they don’t self bleed well.

[@AR-il9gk]

Of course the hood shocks are bad. Chrysler hoods are opened 100 times more than other brands...just joking lol

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

rofl!

[@Remedyz21]

A crispy purge hose loves to break.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Oh yeah, certainly need to look those over first. Smoke tests help when needed.

[@rlamas67]

I don't even own a Jeep 😏.. well done!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks very much!

[@averagejoe9234]

You forgot that those Honda’s never need repair…😏

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Yeah, blew it on this one.

[@seandavis9154]

What is the deal with that corvette in the shop - is that the bosses car parking spot ?
That’s been there Forever- although it is three and a half decades pass its life expectancy. 😂🤣

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

lol. We are waiting on components to fix the AC controls. Back ordered, customer said, ok just store it there for now. :/

[@clay_Thomas]

I changed the thermostat because it was bad and the check engine light on I'm wondering if I unhooked the battery will that clear the check engine light?

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

No, the check engine light will need to be reset or cleared. If the problem is fixed it will turn off the light after about 50 trouble free drive cycles. Which is cold to warm and then cooled off again being 1 cycle.

[@joshuaduffey2056]

I had this exact same issue and repaired the thermometer. My check engine light wont shut off though. Any ideas??

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Usually P0128 codes are cause by thermostat sticking open, or a coolant temp sensor/air temp sensor issue.

[@mexicancantina8634]

What happens if after change thermostat check engine till coming on ??

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

If the code is still a P0128 it might be a temp sensor issue.

[@pedrosaenz5864]

Mine did the same. Change the thermostat and still shows the same code again. What else could it be???

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Check that the air and coolant temps are very close to the same when the engine is cold. Using a scanner. If they are it could be a defective thermostat.

[@paedahe4975]

Those Jeep headlights are larger than I remember.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Pae, they have a few different front ends, depending on year and model…
thanks for leaving a comment. :)

[@katierobinson2040]

@@JimmyMakingitwork smh

[@paedahe4975]

The model I seen has a larger rear end and was a hard top. I wanted to modify it and make it a topless for the summer. A lot of work...

[@andrewkarppinen4348]

Nice pliers. What brand are those?

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

I want to say they are Lisle, but I’ll have to check with my GearWrench dealer to be sure.

[@RocksNRuts4]

agree

[@C.I.A_Unclassified]

We meet again boys

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Tighten up viewers, CIA is here.

[@ELV943]

What the cost for this repair normally?

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

I am not positive Jonah, but from memory it was $250 or so parts and labor for the thermostat.

[@RocksNRuts4]

the rad needed that much coolant??

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Yeah, she is a thirsty girl! Just under 2 gallons.

[@CoreytheMechanic]

Who is the girl in the clip

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

She is an Instagram Model and makes appearances on YT as well. I’ll find her name for you. Russian lady I believe.

Sex definitely sells in this modern day society. Unfortunately for women who are legitimately objectified, this kind of advertising makes it hard for some to take them seriously. IJS
No knock against the creator of this video!
