Great video, my dealership quoted me $1100 to change the thermostat out. I did it for about $180, plus changed out the ect sensor. Was a pain but got it done.
Great video, same thing is happening with my fan, it stays on after I turn off my truck. Your video is clear and concise, thank you. It really does help me out.
Thanks for sharing your insight. I have to do this for my truck and I can’t thank you enough. It’s people like you who help the community out with stuff like this. I will try and contribute some or my repairs as well in return. For us DIY dads/mechanics.
Great video. My fan stays on high after I shut it off and I have no temp and a check engine light. Your video is spot on. It’s amazing how dealers can rip you off. Even if you are not a mech you can get tools from home depot or Lowe’s and save hundreds just by watching a video.
I just have one question once you put the new thermostat does the fan turns off automatically I’ve been having trouble on my GMC canyon 2018 and honestly I thought we had to re-program it but it came back and turns out it was a thermostat
Thank you for your video! You just saved me 1,500 dollars from taking it to Ken Garff in American Fork Utah. I paid 135.00 for the stat and did it myself. Working Great!!
Once again thank you...made my job easy on my 2018 colorado... I must add that while i change out the thermostat, I changed out the engine temperature sensor which is to the right of the thermostat. With the thermostat out, I had more room to work taking out the sensor. The sensor is $20.
Fantastic job, great first RU-vid video. Way more informative than professional mechanics. I would’ve wasted so much time had I followed the other videos I watched.
Thank very much. The way I did it... I put it in just like you, but then I twisted down towards the left, and it slid right in. I had a hard time with first screw though. But, managed. Got the temp sensor at the same time... since I was there already.
Thank you for posting this! The video really helped me a lot. I replaced the thermostat and coolant temperature sensor at the same time on my V6 2018 Colorado WT.
No. I always let the vehicle run for about 10 minutes and shut it off and finish topping it off after it sets for a little bit. Never had any air problems doing it like that.
Damn. I took my wheel off and everything. I even took a screw out and I lost it somewhere and thought to myself “oh I don’t need it, I have the replacement thermostat here with the screws” and then came across this video !!!!!!! Thank you sir, smh I should have watched this first before doing anything
@@powerwashprosandhomeservic6502 got a cheap one, broke off inside the motor, wouldn't thread right. Fished it out, took hours. Use AC DELCO ONLY !!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent video, sir. It helped me out a lot. How did you flush the coolant? I dropped the dang ol' coolant temp sensor into the hole where the thermostat goes into. Now I gotta find a way to get it out.
Marty yes It is exactly the same on 2017 3.6l If I remember correctly the sensor is just to the right of the thermostat although I only replaced the thermostat ! Gook luck
Hey Walt ! It's been a long time bud Surprised to see you on here making a video i recognized the voice before i seen your name ! Great explanation to replace the thermostat ! I have to do one tomorrow on 2017 GMC Canyon 3.6l has a code for po128 and po480 fan circuit malfunction checked the temp sensor with the scanner and only got up to 173° so starting with the thermostat ! Greatly appreciate the info in the video ! I have facebook so send me a request bud !
This is not Walt, but I have a question for you. Was everything the same on the 2017 Canyon that you worked on and was the temp sensor next to the thermostat on the 2017? Thanks.
Where did you get the new thermostat? I’m going to change mine out to see if it helps with my overheating issue. If you have a link, that would be wonderful. And thank you for the video! Makes it so much easier!
