Thank you, brother it’s something my father taught me at a young age. You can do anything the next man can, which in some situations you may need a professional but most of the time you can do it yourself 💪🏽🔥
Thank you, Darnell! I'm getting ready to replace mine, and your instructions gave me the confidence to this myself. I'm trying to save money where I can as a single mama.
You’re welcome, I’m glad I could help and it’s AMAZING to hear you gained confidence from this video. You can do whatever you set your mind to, no one is greater than the next and if they can do it you can do it.
I DID IT!!!! 😎 Thank you Darnell!! How would I reset the check engine light after the thermostat has been changed and coolant has been refilled? Also, I changed my air and cabin filters 💪🏽
Yayyyyyyyy!!!!! That’s Awesome, so I didn’t reset mine it cut off on its own. @davidbarbour left a comment a couple of months ago advising us that the check engine light will go off after three cold to hot engine cycles. Again great job.
@#DarnellDoesIt update: my check engine light reset the next day and I went in for my smog check the same day. Everything worked out. New thermostat, filters, passed smog and new license plate tags. Thank you!
Riddle me this...had a wheel alignment done this very morning...then by the afternoon...check engine light came on.WTH 🤦🏽♀️ Did what you did and visited my local Autozone and sure enough it was my thermostat. Did a search and your video pulled up right in the nic of time. You are a life saver. I thank you and my Durango thanks you.😊
Bro! Had a wheel alignment done and the next day my car overheated. Topped off the fluid and bled any any air and now the needle floats. I wonder what corelation the wheel alignment and engine cooling system have.
bro.... after i replaced the thermostat the engine light is stil there. How long till the lights goes off or do i need to take it somewhere and reset it? mechanic?
Great video thank you very much The only thing that I don't know if you have another video on that or not but is that thing gonna airlock and I noticed that thermostat had a bleeder notch in it So we don't want 1 overheat At least I want anyways cause I'm getting ready to do 1 so I hope you have a video of how to bleed the system so it don't airlock But thank you very much great video though bro thank you
Im having trouble finding where the temperature sensor is on my 2015 durango v6. Do you have a video for that??? I found a few videos but none looked like what I needed
Hey brother when did you figure out you forgot to put the clamp back on the hose to the thermostat. It looked like you forgot to slide it back into the housing.
Question for every body that has change there thermostat...have you had any other problems after you change that part? I gat a 2015 Durango with 80 miles and light engine come on. Same problem and im worry after this more things are wanna come up. Thank you
Yes it is, the set up of the motor is pretty much the same only difference is that the 5.7L thermostat is separate from the housing. My apologies I’m just getting my notification about your question.
Another user commented that after 3 cold to hot cycles it turns off automatically. For me I don’t exactly remember how long it took for mine to turn off but it was within the next day after or so.
@@darnelldoesit2294 just did it but I have problems with it overheating still.. was I suppose to flush the system out ? Or bleed out the system? Antifreeze in the overfill & Top hose hot bottle hose cold… 😓
I believe the radiator is fine, it’s weird tho because it only starts to overheat when I’m in idle so idk if it has to with a oil cooler or temp sensor
@@darnelldoesit2294 bet. I’m changing mines today after work. Taking a camping trip that’s a couple hours away. That mf check engine light had ya boy spooked for a min.
@@darnelldoesit2294 I feel it my dude. Stay alert you stay alive. Thanks for the info on the video. You out there risking your life trying to inform the uninformed. Lol. Keep up the good work.
I mean this from the bottom of my heart. No BS. People like you are what make the world go round. Repairing your own property is empowering.

bro.... after i replaced the thermostat the engine light is stil there. How long till the lights goes off or do i need to take it somewhere and reset it? mechanic?
I didn’t record me doing the brakes 🤦🏽♂️ my bad
It will turn itself off, it usually takes 3 full engine cycles
Thank you Darnell! Not afraid to tackle this project..
You are welcome, glad this video helped you with your confidence. That lets you know you shouldn’t be afraid of anything… You got this!!!!!
Thank you . Now I feel confident to do it myself.

Nice job man. I need to do it with the up coming winter.🥶❄️.. peace and thanks
Thanks, glad I could help
Hey Darnell thanks for the help, the video was great and informative. One thing I was curious about though is if I do or don’t need to bleed it
I didn’t have to bleed the system, I just let the truck run and filled up the reservoir as needed
Thanks brother. You just saved me $300 lol
Cheers man. Appreciate you.
Glad I could help you brother 🫡
Thanks bro!!! Just did mine off of your tut. Shop wanted roughly 1k. Lol.
💪🏽🔥🔥… the shops don’t play!! 1k for a 10min, 2 bolt job 🤦🏽♂️. Glad you got it fixed yourself ands saved allot of money.
Great vid much appreciated. No hi temp RTV or Silicone required is that correct? Thank you Sir. 👍
No sir, none at all. The housings has a built in seal. Your welcome
Subbed bro🔥🔥 my 2015 Durango been a pain in my ass man
Yessir 💪🏽🔥🔥
Very helpful, need to change it this week🙏🏽 thank you
How did it go for you?
thanks for the help! doing mine today, thus saves me a lot of time
Your welcome, glad I could save you some time!!! How did it go?
How did you shut your check engine light off after the job?
@@calvinberlin9856 after three cycles of the engine going from cold to hot it automatically goes out.
Thanks @David for your feedback, @Calvin it cuts off itself.
Really nice video, very informative!!!!
You helpef me!!!!
Thanks!!!
Good luck bro!
Thank you and your welcome!!! I’m glad I could help.
Do you have to bleed the system after changing the thermostat?
No sir
Great video thank you very much The only thing that I don't know if you have another video on that or not but is that thing gonna airlock and I noticed that thermostat had a bleeder notch in it So we don't want 1 overheat At least I want anyways cause I'm getting ready to do 1 so I hope you have a video of how to bleed the system so it don't airlock But thank you very much great video though bro thank you
I didn’t have to bleed my system, but if your reservoir is full and your temp gauge is moving you definitely should bleed it.
Im having trouble finding where the temperature sensor is on my 2015 durango v6. Do you have a video for that??? I found a few videos but none looked like what I needed
Driver side of engine closer to the firewall
Hey brother when did you figure out you forgot to put the clamp back on the hose to the thermostat. It looked like you forgot to slide it back into the housing.
Darnell thanks my boy!!
Great job
Thanks a lot
Do you think the sensor getting stuck is the common reason the radiator fan runs high?
It’s a big possibility but I’ve never ran into a problem like that so I can’t say for sure that’s the issue.
@@darnelldoesit2294 I figured out it was the thermostat. It was stuck closed.
Glad you figured it out and I learned something new at the same time 🔥🔥🔥
I am looking for the temperature sensor reader. I cannot find where that goes.
Driver side of engine closer to firewall
Thank you so much for this video!
You’re welcome glad I could be of assistance to you.
Is this process the same for the 2011 Citadel?
Yes it is and if you have the Hemi it’s also the same but the thermostat is located on the left front of the block.
Good show, helped a lot.
Glad it helped!
Short and sweet!!! Just subbed
Thanks brother 💪🏽🔥🔥🔥
@@darnelldoesit2294 No Doubt!!!
Thnx friend! Great video!
You’re welcome and thank you 🙏🏽
Did the check engine go away?
Yes sir it did.
Did the check engine come off by it self?
Yes sir it did.
Where the coolant temperature sensor at I can't get a valid reply
Thank you!!
You are welcome 🙏🏽
Thanks for the video very helpful
Your welcome, glad I could help you out
Question for every body that has change there thermostat...have you had any other problems after you change that part? I gat a 2015 Durango with 80 miles and light engine come on. Same problem and im worry after this more things are wanna come up. Thank you
No sir, after I changed the thermostat the check engine light has stayed off, the particular 2015 Durango in this video has around 160k+ miles
Would it be the same steps for a 2015 r/t?
Yes it is, the set up of the motor is pretty much the same only difference is that the 5.7L thermostat is separate from the housing. My apologies I’m just getting my notification about your question.
Does the check engine light reset on its own after the repair?
Yes sir it will
@@darnelldoesit2294 hey I appreciate it, you saved me bout 250.
Glad I could help you out💪🏽
@@darnelldoesit2294 how long does it take for that light to disappear? After I changed my thermostat, I’m still getting the check engine light.
Another user commented that after 3 cold to hot cycles it turns off automatically. For me I don’t exactly remember how long it took for mine to turn off but it was within the next day after or so.
Thanks man!!
You are welcome 🤗 glad I could assist you
Darrel I love you thank you
Glad I could help
Did you noticed your radiator fan acting different after replacing the thermostat with a non OEM one?
No I haven’t noticed anything out of the usual and haven’t had anymore problems with any of the cooling components.
appreciate homie good stuff 👍
Glad I could help you 🔥
I could do this myself but I don’t know how to use that socket thing 😩😩😩
You really could still do it. It’s not hard to use the socket, do you have anybody that could help you? I Believe in you!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Was the truck over heating before this ?
It was not overheating but the temperature was getting higher than usually causing a check engine light that read a code for thermostat replacement.
@@darnelldoesit2294 just did it but I have problems with it overheating still.. was I suppose to flush the system out ? Or bleed out the system? Antifreeze in the overfill & Top hose hot bottle hose cold… 😓
Depending on how much antifreeze you lost you may have to bleed the system. How is your radiator? I changed the radiator maybe 2yrs ago.
I believe the radiator is fine, it’s weird tho because it only starts to overheat when I’m in idle so idk if it has to with a oil cooler or temp sensor
Or maybe the fan turning on late
Did you have to worry about the coolant hitting ur belt?
No sir, just make sure you lightly rinse the front of the motor off avoiding any electrical components.
@@darnelldoesit2294 bet. I’m changing mines today after work. Taking a camping trip that’s a couple hours away. That mf check engine light had ya boy spooked for a min.
Good lookin fam
Yesssssirrrr 💪🏽🔥🔥🔥
Bro I followed your video and my Durango started to overheat right after I guess I had to burp it also
I just let mine run ands filled up the reservoir as needed
