My burban did this to me this morning. I’ll be doing the same job either today to tomorrow. Didn’t even think about the thermostat. Talked to one of the mechanics at work before going in the field. He mentioned that could be bad. 🤷🏽♂️ we will find out.
Great video man. I had a very similar issue last winter. The truck would start to over heat at low rpm’s and going slow or at idle. I tried a cooler thermostat from the parts store and it wouldn’t solve it so I tried the water pump from the parts store agin and it still was having that issue. I decide to go with the oem thermostat and finally that solved it. Taught me to never cheap out on parts as it costed me way more time and money from the first cheap thermostat.
I vaguely remember as a kid in New England it was pretty much a ritual to change your thermostat in the fall to one the opened at a hotter temp to make heat. You had to change back in the spring to avoid boiling over.
Great video I'm hoping mine goes as easy lol.. i keep getting the engine hot shutting off ac .. but it's never overheating. I'm hoping replacing this does the job.
Torque spec is like 10ft lbs.carefule not to overnighter and snap bolts.easy fix.keep Driving, maybe you can get a few more lights to come on ,on that dash.!..
Just did this to my 2015 Silverado last month I replaced the thermostat sensor first back in November cause I was driving one day and noticed it said the truck was cold and the fans kicked on so when I looked up what could cause that it said it was the thermostat sensor so changed that worked fine 2 weeks later said it was cold again and this time I changed the thermostat and truck stays at 210 now cause before it would just stay at 190 wouldn’t even see 210
I Just Replaced The Thermostat In My Dad's 10 Ford Expedition 5.4 274k Miles And Topped Off The Coolant And Still Have No Heat, It's Never zran Hot And I Thought Replacing The Thermostat Would Fix My Heat Not Working. Heat Was Working Fine In The Fall.
Dude, turn your bottle over so you can pour it in without spilling it all over. Then as the level in the bottle drioa turn it over to pour out from lower levels.
