Having "been there", "done that", it usually goes, "Hey guys, this thing is going to be a PITA to work on", reply "Yep, thank NHTSA and the EPA for the 40% decrease in bay space, and styling thinks we should have these shiny baubles that nobody will see, but convicted the BoD that without this $125 in extra BS we'll lose 75,000 sales. True story, been in meetings where everybody is "jeeze, this thing is going to be a pita to work on", and everybody is "Well, we could get rid of this, that, the other thing, but then it doesn't pass EPA requirements, we could lose this and that, but then it doesn't pass NHTSA needs, and there is NO WAY we are touching anything Styling says we must have....Remember Fred, John, George, Mary and Stacey? Yea, those 5 went up against styling...they got fired along with most of their departments and replaced"...you don't go against the studio, they always win for some idiotic reason. Not saying they couldn't have done a better job, but all the crap you need on an engine today? Sheesh, I have a 5.7L V8 in my 1999 Tahoe, I can almost climb into the engine bay, my buddy has a 2018 Tahoe...smaller V6, and you have to tear half the engine apart to get to anything because of all the NHTSA and EPA stuff that's in it.

Eric, I found it funny. I just did a Chevy Cruze with the exact same problem. What I found funny was I had Napa deliever the exact same part. As always I check the part to make sure it's the same. However, The little bugger got me when I was done. Turns out although the thermostat was the same but the plug was a little different. The little ribs inside were on the wrong side not allowing me to plug it in. I was so pissed. I didn't want to do the job all over again because of some little stop tabs. So I ended up using a little pick and knocking them off ( on the thermostat side). Then the plug went right in. Finished the job and checked for OEM operation. Funny thing was I had looked at the plug on the thermostat before I started and it "looked fine". (famous last words lol) Those tabs were so small I didn't see it. I really hate aftermarket just as much as you if not more. For that very reason. BTW, the computer looks for 12-18 ohms. I hope you got a laugh out of my story. Ron

I use to remove the thermostat every summer from my old XD 1982 Falcon. It had no air conditioner and ran on dual fuel. LPG ran hotter and dryer, while Petrol ran cooler. So in Australian summer I would run with bonnet unlocked and wood blocked between bonnet underside and latch (prayed bonnet latch kept it down at 100 kph) and kept the heater on at full bore. You could see the engine temp rise to 3/4 if I turned the heater fan off and back down to just over 1/2 if turned it back on. Was a XD Falcon 3.3 litre alloy head station wagon, so had alot of weight to move with a underpowered engine, especially if switched to LPG. So in summer I also ran it on petrol as it helped also to keep it cooler. I admit as I got older, I enjoyed the perks of Airconditioning and power steering.

@@mauricevandoeselaar As @mxsport mentioned, manual transmissions are rare here. The sale of any sort of vehicle with manual transmissions have fallen so much that new models of cars simply don't offer a manual transmission as an option when purchasing. Because of this, younger folk have not been trained on how to drive one. So if you have a car with three pedals, the chances of it getting stolen are very low. I recall in Seattle a while back some teenagers tried to steal an old lady's car. They hopped into it but it was a manual, and of course they kept stalling it - so they bolted and were caught a short time later by police.

I love my 13 Cruze LTZ RS. Bought and sold a ton of cars over the years, and it's one of my favorites. Sitting at 214k, put 14k since I got it in November. All I've had to do was the typical valve cover which is easy. Has an oil leak but I change my oil every 3k miles and it never drops below full on the stick. But what kills me is they put an aluminum thermostat on the junk 1.8 engine, but couldn't put an aluminum thermostat on the 1.4 Turbski engine. You can buy aluminum ones, but they were plastic from the factory. That's one of my only gripes about the engine. I've worked on cars for 16 years. I've seen a lot. People shit talk the 1.4, and no it's nowhere near the best. But it's a good engine that gets fantastic mileage

I always pull hose clamp first, then use pump pliers around the hose at top of neck and towards the base work it gently back and forth until loosened up. if it's still that tight "heat gun" the hose. yeah it should just be replaced at that point, but sometimes you have to do the dirty deed and get things rolling again! I have a hose pick, that I've used twice since new. it either digs into the hose or gouges the housing no matter how careful and precise you are. I have used it more for non "hose removal applications than not.

To those asking why they might put a heater in the coolant thermostat, it is because it is likely the cheapest means for them to have a variable temperature thermostat. The wax motor is set to open the thermostat at a "higher than normal" temperature, say 220-225 deg F (seems to be the normal range from my experience), but by turning on the heater and applying additional heat to the thermostat, they can make it open at a lower temperature. Higher coolant temperature (to a certain extent) helps increase fuel economy and reduce emissions, whereas lower temperature is better for performance.

Talk about GM with needing to move the water pump housing to remove that thermostat housing, we had a 1967 IH dump truck with their DV500 diesel and I needed to change the oil cooler. It was located on the engines left side within the C of the chassis. It had 12 bolts to be removed and the last bolt hit the inside of the chassis and could not be removed. Needed to pull the engine forward about 18" to get that last bolt out. You can imagine the choice words I had about the engineer who designed the placement of the oil cooler. You and the family stay safe.

Right out of high school I worked at GM running a metal press to make the bracket that held the air-conditioner pump onto the engine block. This was in the days, when GM recommended a "tune-up" every 6 months or 6000 miles. The bracket had to be removed to do this tune-up, which meant that the fan belt had to be removed, and when replaced the belt was tensioned by hand with a wrench. Nice to see GM maintain this tradition for more than 50 years. Yea, you rock GM. Never make it easy for the service personnel. GM clearly believes that their customers have money to throw away on paying Eric to remove three parts to repair one of them.

First mention of Napa you failed to say "not a sponsor". My first thought hey wait is Napper a sponsor now? Then thermostat comes in and nope. I got excited for you there Eric.

yup ... just replaced one on a sonic... gotta remove brackets just to change the thermostat...be sure to open the bleeder valve to get the air out....on the sonic ... it is hidden under the radiator cover... took me 20 mins to figure out why it was not sucking in the new anti-freeze...

Drove stick in my late teens and early 20's; 55 now. No desire to ever drive stick again. The constant city/suburban driving playing Speed Racer is not worth the workout I get trying not to get killed by idiots who are deaf, dumb, blind, and suicidal. With an automatic I just have to either hit the brakes or the gas and hang on!

@@Dratchev241 It's not really true, depends on the model of vehicle. I certainly have worked on a few that were a royal pain in the butt, I've got a 2008 Toyota Prius 348,000 miles, and it's really easy to work on for the most part. Sometimes you might have to take several things off to get to something under it but it all disassembles easily and logically. Virtually the entire car is a 10, 12 or 14mm bolts. Surprisingly easy to work on.
