Great video. Thanks. Torque is 15 - 20 ft/lb if anyone's looking.

This video gave me the knowledge and confidence to replace this at home. Thank you! Three things I will add: 1) I used a cotter pin puller to free the plug lock. 2) I put some dielectric grease on the plug and exterior of the plug in case I ever have to take it apart. 3) the sensor is a tapered thread, so it should NOT be bottomed out if you aren’t measuring torque. 4) be prepared to go 1/2 or 1/4 turn extra to present the tab lock in an accessible location. 5) my sensor was 19 mm, and I used a GearWrench instead of a socket.

Those of us grown adults who are still blessed to be able bodied. Have no excuse for not knowing how to fix their own vehicle.

Fantastic video. Loved the zoom in and the humor! Thanks!

[@HerveAttia]

Great video! My Dodge RAM Promaster won't start. When I try to start the engine, I get the "coolant temp high" message. To reset the system, I disconnected the battery for 30 minutes, but that didn't help. Now, I'm ordering this part and hoping it resolves the issue. If it doesn't, I'll have to tow the van to the dealership. Fingers crossed!

Thanks!! This really helped!!

[@anthonygoodrich6487]

Did you have to drain the coolant? only looked like a few drops came out with old sensor.

[@DRBOY856]

Keep the good work

[@meechmeechaztv9364]

That’s what she said 🤟🏾😂🐐

[@k.d.140]

Shouldn't you have disconnected the negative terminal before removing the sensor?

[@MauScor1976]

Thank you so much.

[@mrzee1958]

do you have to drain any coolant first?

[@RealKansasMan]

On my Dodge Grand Caravan, the coolant temp sensor clip is facing the passenger side, making it near impossible to get the clip undone.

[@LuisitoCrypto]

Does this video work for a dodge nitro 2011 with a 4.0 engine? I really can’t find a video of anyone changing it, need to confirm if it’s the same location as this one.

[@TheSammajor]

My fan start blowing at 215 F. Should I suspect this sensor?

[@1_mr_raiders_196]

What year is that vehicle??

[@YSB5]

Is that temperature sensoar same for chrysler hemi 5.7 2013??

[@stix562]

Did you have a p0128 code? Was the dash gauge showing the proper temperature?

[@izaya2095]

I wonder if it was staying under temp even with new thermostat/ bleeding too or other problems 🤔

[@vanslawsonvideos4981]

Where can I get the release tool you used?

[@williamd.bigviking25624]

I used a cotter pin extractor, available at any hardware store.

[@EarnestDavis-wi5ns]

What size socket is that to remove sensor bolt

[@jordonneely]

3/4

[@jalenburney6686]

That’s wt she said 😂😂😂

[@stix562]

This is one of the two sensors, the other one is underneath the intake manifold 😅

[@BlackDeathTX]

That one is the oil temperature sensor, right above the oil pressure sensor.

[@MrRGM10]

Why did you change this my friend did it throw any code? What are the symptoms?

[@williamd.bigviking25624]

It will turn the check engine light on and throw a “low coolant temp” code. If you’re squeaky frugal, you may be able to polish the factory sensor with sandpaper and re-install.
