This was so helpful thank you oh my God it helped me save like $1000 my thermostats bad, but I just used the end part of the video put coolant and did all the instruction and my car stoped over heating and I get hot air again thank you sooooooo much I live in Alaska so this was important
it’s really not bro just get to the thermostat after removing the intake and make sure you don’t spill the coolant everywhere. he did a lot of extra steps i guess it’s the professional way
@@wavyj1776some will come out, I would just hold the hose upward with something and whatever spills out the housing I'd just refill and bleed. If you go that route
I’m going to cut corners and skip the coolant draining. I am not flushing the system . How much coolant can possibly be wasted from the thermostat location ? Not much
Just finished this job. The belt will definitely get soaked when you remove the antifreeze hose. Removing and reinstalling the belt actually took 2 mins. Not bad at all. It's best to remove it.👌 Total time getting tools and cleaning up less than 2 hours.
At time index 5:22, the torque settings for thermostat housing bolts are stated as 108 inch-Lbs. This torque setting broke the bolt. Why so high a torque setting? Some car wheel lug nut settings can be 80 Lbs. I do not see how the stress of the water pressure in the coolant system can be more than the stress on wheel lug nuts (???).
So what you're saying is 'don't do this by yourself,' go to the dealership or another mechanic who has the proper tools. How about instead, I just never purchase a car like this?
Every car is gonna have its problems some sooner than others some rare but a vehicle is to be driven around, overtime its parts are going to wear out, you sound a like a girl that doesn't like getting their hands dirty, stick to getting uber rides or your parents driving you around 😂
priced the repair on google and it came up around $450, vs $50 or so for the stat, and 150 for new coolant. Figuring at 125,000 miles it's about time for a change. Working on the son in law's car, Personally my cars are much more sedate, ergo no battery in the trunk cause there's no room, under the hood

I'd be pretty upset if he dented the side of my car with those jack stands.
is all that necessary to change the thermostat? I can see it right under the air intake

@@MightyMouse27RayRice if you don’t drain the coolant, won’t it go every where when you remove the hose??

Professional Video with precise instructions. Thank you
Thanks for the video , really helped alot ... much appreciated.
Why do I need to take the belt off?
I'm guessing so you don't get any coolant on the belt, which can cause it to slip.
@@geo_no_go2657this
You don't .. in fact you don't have to disconnect the battery, you don't have to chalk the wheels, or take off the belt.
Or dent the rocker panels
Imma just go to dealership
Yep
Bruhh💀😭😭
Bruh i just said the same thing 😭
@@whappening523 I ended up doing it myself, it wasn’t bad at all
LMAOOOOO FR
Jeez dude just get to the thermostat

Why do you remove the belt? So fluids don't get on it? Thanks

Seriously? I mean how could the car roll and the jack stand was insane. This guy did serious body damage. Find another video
🌟Great Vid...Do you have torque specs for the Transmission oil Pan bolts
When does the check engine light go away?
sometimes, u need to use the thermostat from the dealership, or mopar in this case, that s how the code goes away in the computer

Wheel lugs are set at ft-lbs, this is inch-lbs
@@taningarcia4527 So for people with only one torque wrench (lbs), it’s 10.8 lbs.
@@garciahome6036 no it would be 9 ft lbs
Thermastat is on bottom of my motor 3.5

Way too many unnecessary steps. Haha
