For those who need to know, the little ramp, or chute on the bottom of the thermostat gets pointed towards the back of the engine.
This video is to help guide you on replacing the thermostat on your 1998-2006 Isuzu trooper with the 3.5 liter v6. I hope it does help you.
The following links are for partsgeek's website, which is where I found the water outlet gaskets the cheapest. Amazon was $14.99 and Advance auto was $12.99. No one else carried them including Rockauto.

Engineering at its finest, spent 3 hours today trying to figure out how to replace the thermostat, too bad i didnt find this video earlier

@WindwalkerHomestead Год назад

The sad thing is that, I don't think there is another video anywhere that goes over this. I looked and don't think I could find one, so I decided to make one

@rucktrucktrekker8139 3 месяца назад

Thanks Wind. We're about to fix ours and will order parts based on your experience and vid. This is project son and I are working on. Excellent vid.

@WindwalkerHomestead 3 месяца назад

You're welcome. I'm glad I was able to help

@glenbbqdavidson7131 Месяц назад

Remember the good old days when the thermostat was sticking out of the front of the motor and you'd have to undo 2 x 10mm bolts to change it out.

@WindwalkerHomestead Месяц назад

Yes. In fact, I now have an astro with a 4.3 V6 that I enjoy working on so much better

Good lord, and here I thought working on my Versa was hard. I was able to complete a radiator and thermostat replacement in a day on it. I got a VehiCROSS as a project now and it's got overheating problems. Going to change the radiator, thermostat, and water pump the whole 9 yards, probably going to take at least a week to complete. Thanks for the video 😀

You're welcome. I wish you luck on the vehicross. I've always liked them. If replacing all that doesn't work, do the head gaskets. Just do them as a last resort, since they will take the most work

@Hitman-ds1ei Год назад

Taking top half of manifold off first makes it a lot easier and allows you to clean valley area before removing lower section

@WindwalkerHomestead Год назад

Thank you. I just unbolted and moved it to the side. If I disconnected the fuel lines too, I would have been able to take it completely out

@Hitman-ds1ei Год назад

Yes I seen you do that but just saying I've done plenty from when worked for GM dealer and it's a way better job when doing in sections as I have found some to be showing signs of leaking on upper gaskets

@WindwalkerHomestead Год назад

Ok. I see what you mean now. I was kinda crunched for time. Still have a full time job and one day out of the weekend, we do both laundry and shopping, so I only have one day a weekend to get things done around the homestead

Excellent. Thank you for sharing.

If I recall when I replaced mine,98, there was a smaller o ring as well that caused a leak resulting in doing the job twice. I remember when we changed our thermostats twice a year,winter and summer and it was a 15 minute job. Also consider checking ECT sensor. Engine coolant temperature sensor. That’s what my problem was to begin with. 5 different mechanics didn’t discover the problem because it didn’t show up on any code readers.

@WindwalkerHomestead 7 месяцев назад

Wow. That's really interesting. This one didn't have a second o ring. Did it have 2 sensors? I know some vehicles had a sensor that was for a Guage and another that was for the ecu. I just diagnosed one like that a few weeks ago

live in central america ,365 days are 90´s is ok to remove the thermostat only, not install new one? I live Newark NJ had Crown Vic , never install a new thermostat. the only thing once in while i had the check engine light. that was not to often

@user-fu8ct7hk7h 9 месяцев назад

Ок!Axiom установил электровентилятор с датчиком,6 лет полёт нормальный!

@robertmadsen8687 2 года назад

Wow. No reason whatsoever for them to put the thermostat in that location. The "engineers" could have put the thermostat in the metal tube close to where the rubber hose connects.

@kylejeffrey3894 2 года назад

The Thermostat needs to be next to the circulating coolant in the block so that it opens when it gets hot, if it was at the end of the metal tube it would be really far away and the hot coolant might not push the cold stuff out of the way fast enough.

@diegocelaya7302 2 года назад

sweet!

@ds6843 Год назад

Which way did you put the thermostat in.. does the shoot go towards the water pump or the back of the truck?

@WindwalkerHomestead Год назад

I'm 99% sure it went towards the back of the truck. I would have set the old one down on top of the grill in the same orientation that I pulled it out, so I would know how the new one went in.

@ds6843 Год назад

@@WindwalkerHomestead I appreciate the reply I did notice that as well! Make me feel better I put my in the same way.. I'm just having problems bleeding my system thinking maybe I got a bad thermostat

@WindwalkerHomestead Год назад

@@ds6843 if I remember correctly, I had a difficult time burping it as well. Can't remember how I was able to get it right, though

@diegocelaya7302 2 года назад

do you drain any coolant?
