very good video and camera man. not too much talking straight to the point........no confusion

You didn't show that the jiggle valve is supposed to be on top I think, but but good job,I would have drained the radiator first though.

How much does a good sensor cost?

Any big complaints with this machine? Im looking at buying one and am doing a little research before i go through with the purchase

Damn man put it in low gear

Always start learning to operate in 1st gear

How to replace oil sensor on a 2000 Nissan fronter

Looks like me the first time I operated a dozer. 😀

Im wondering why there was a gasket on the thermostat housing? According to the frontier foums and the manual there isnt a gasket, says to just use rtv and thats how it was from the factory.. Edit- ok, did some research, they do make a gasket but its not recommended to use it😅 This is one of the things id definitely do it right and use rtv. Its a good bit of work in a tight space to risk taking a short cut with a aftermarket gasket.

Was it throwing a code for the thermostat? Or was it just having issues with cooling?

You wish you had used the thicker faced insulation?

I'm guessing you don't have any dozer experience

Instead of "part 1" the title should say "Day 1".

Looks nice! I'm looking to enclose by barn soon and I always heard the metal wasn't supposed to be in contact with treated lumber? You think it's ok to put the rat garde straight on that bottom board? I'm assuming it was treated wood. Thanks!

Nice

Did it have “a little bit of bend’ from a collision? I’m want to replace the bumper cover on my 2011, but it doesn’t come with brackets.

Dont need to remove fan shroud. Only one belt needs to be off & thats the one on tensioner pulley

I just completed this same repair, but without removing the belt tensioner/bracket. I disconnected the negative battery cable, unplugged the pressure switch to the ac line, and removed the upper radiator hose clamp and moved the hose and wire out of the way. Then I simply removed the bolt to the bracket holding the pipe connecting the lower radiator hose to the thermostat. Then I removed the front hose clamp to the short thermostat hose, moved the lower hose and pipe out of the way while leaving the short hose in place. I was able to fit a 1/4” extension and 12mm socket under the ac tensioner bracket and remove all 3 thermostat bolts. I drained and flushed the radiator, all the hoses, block, and reservoir. I started at 9 am and will finish by noon, (I let my RTV sealer cure in place for almost an hour before final tightening the thermostat bolts.) Thanks for this video showing me the worse case scenario!

Wouldn't hurt to mention it's a V6 not a 2.4L 4CYL

Thanks for posting. I have about 429,668 miles on my 03 Accord EX 4 cyl. I watched several videos before attempting this. It took me less than 8 minutes to complete and saved a lot of $$ doing it myself. I used scotch tape to hold the new sensor in the 27mm socket as I hand-turned it into place. Removed tape from socket then snugged with ratchet. I did unhook the negative from battery in order for the engine light to go out. Runs so much smoother.

I appreciate the hell out the video. Thank you so much

I have watched a good amount of videos on how to do this job, but I have noticed in pretty much every video that there is no black box (I believe it's the starter) underneath the intake manifold so I am basically operating blind. You guys made it look so easy! I have tried to complete this multiple times over this past weekend and only luck I have had so far is removing the connector. I have been using the tiny sliver of space on the left side of the engine as my sightline to the sensor, but it has been a struggle. I went to pull the sensor yesterday multiple times and every time I thought I had a bite, I would pull out my tool and the sensor would not be in there. My biggest gripe is not being able to see through the intake manifold. If I could see I feel like the job would be much easier The difference I noticed between your video and the others is that you used a 25 mm socket. I was recommended to use a 27 mm on the other videos I watched. I wonder if maybe the socket is the wrong size? It is hard to tell because of the limited space and sight available I have an 07 4 cylinder and need to complete this to pass my annual inspection in TX. Looking for any advice/recommendations.

this looks like so much fun. I will be doing this soon, still doing research and hoping to learn some before i start. I was planning to do the 250 ft driveway myself. I was going to have the contractor clear the building site.

Absolutely horrible

A buddy of mine rented a dozer. By the time he figured out the do's and don'ts, he'd done $9,000 worth of damage to the sheet metal and windows. He could have bought a decent little dozer for what it cost him to rent and repair one.

I just did mine today and I didn’t have to take off the fan and belts the socket and extension fit and I pulled it right out! Super easy!

Great job it takes s little while to get the hang of these machines you are doing a fine job

Great job!!! 👍

Thanks for the video, I have a 98 and the bumper is blocking the hole to lower the spare . I want to take my bumper off to investigate why and this video will help

What size socket did you use for the sensor? I have to replace mine.

Bobcat still earning its keep. Looks like you may have had to clean out air filters after running all day.

Finally a frontier one. Thank you sir

Watching someone trying to learn to drive a dozer, nah...... Good luck though!!

I know this was posted a year ago. But it help me out a lot. Thank you Also, putting some sticky stuff on the knock sensor the first time would have saved me 30 mins of fishing lol.

He had the gear selector set to high. Need to put it in low and crawl. You always want to push in the lowest gear. And it’s easier to learn taking it slow. Just a friendly piece of advice. You’ll get there just takes set time that’s all.

First time in a dozer is a learning experience. But you pick it up fast. These new machine s are so plush. It's a great machine to learn on. You did great. You probably had a great time too. Never feels like work in a new machine👍

It's nice seeing people doing there own work. Lot of learning curve behind it tho. I am a contractor but also a do it yourself homesteader. As business aspect it would of been thousands to hire this done, as a learning homeowner it's hundreds and more time. Plenty enough machine to ruff in a road. A excavator with a thumb would of made your life a bit easier but well done 👏

Ol bobcat still earning its keep. Use your set of pallet forks for uprooting trees. It works great for digging out roots around base. Less resistance that bucket.

Nice use of a a bobcat! Didn’t think a small machine could topple the trees. I have T 650 and will be doing similar things one the snow melts in my area. Building a mini storage. Come to my channel and have a look if your interested.

Great vid bud, love to see a fellow s250 in action!

I have run one of those newer dozers with the Hystat drive. My favorite small dozer that I ran was a Cat D4H, it has a suspension undercarriage. The ride on it is much smoother than my Cat D4C, but a little bit bigger. When I need more power I will get my D6D. I like those Cat machines. John

I would have went with a D5 or D6 at least if not the D7 with the forestry protection package

I replaced the blend door actuator on two vehicles. Thankfully it wasn't the thermostat that needed replace. My job was a lot easier.

The rental didn’t give him any Instructions how to operate

Who the operator you should keep limbs in front of the blade

Short track machine

Bad operator

how many liter per day? i mean fuel
