Well done sir. Judging by your verbage and all, you don't seem to be a mechanic, so for you to make a clear and concise video "how-to" solving a common problem is awesome.

Do you know the temperature setting for the thermostat. I'm ordering one and they state different opening temperatures

[@marenothecarguy8361]

I don’t recall, but it’s the aftermarket ones that have different temps. I would suggest getting a factory one.

[@angelationsangelawalton6687]

this is $1400 at the chevy dealership here in Augusta Ga.

[@marenothecarguy8361]

Ouch!!! A lot of money for minimal work effort.

[@delgadoluis85]

Thank you very helpful Sir

[@marenothecarguy8361]

Most welcome

My fan stays running in my 2016 suburban. I replaced the sensor and it’s still running constantly. Do you think it could be the thermostat?

[@marenothecarguy8361]

So you replaced your temp sensor and your temperature gauge is working but the fan is constantly running? Is that a correct statement? If so, I would make sure my coolant is full and there is no air in the system. If all of those things are golden, next I would check the fan relay switch. Sometimes those go bad. The thermostat wouldn’t be on my radar as a culprit.

[@kevinramos2962]

Change your thermostat it’s probably stuck open when its stuck open its cooling the antifreeze yet its cooling it alot were the temp sensor reading it right yet the computer thinks otherwise change you thermostat it should fix the polroblem

[@kevinramos2962]

Oh and take off the negative terminal for like a good 5 min and u will be good

[@edc120912]

It's early signs of a bad thermostat. Mine was doing that so I changed the Coolant temp sensor. That's didn't silve the problem. And my thermostat just went out today

[@MG-hb7sg]

Appreciate you

[@marenothecarguy8361]

Glad I could be of help.

[@erikflores2642]

Very good video sir thank you

[@marenothecarguy8361]

You are most welcome.

[@ernestogomez4025]

You have to rest the system undo the ground wire for a minute or two that should fix it

[@TNdad87]

Thanks man 🙌🏻

[@marenothecarguy8361]

No problem 👍

[@tanishaburks3495]

Do you recommend the same kind of thermostat for the weather in Texas?

[@marenothecarguy8361]

If I lived in Texas, I would use one of the thermostats that open around 160-180F.

[@1997wayz]

I know this is not related to this video but can someone explain that open space in front of the fuse box on the driver side under the hood ? it looks like something supposed to go there.. I noticed it on my new truck that I just purchased ...I was just making sure nothing was missing thanks.

[@marenothecarguy8361]

I believe you are referring to the space reserved for having the option to add a secondary battery. So you should see the battery tray in that spot.

[@1997wayz]

@@marenothecarguy8361 it looked like it may have been a battery tray I just wasn't sure thank you.

[@realbhopwood]

That needs a proper torque setting. Great video though.

[@marenothecarguy8361]

I agree, proper torque is always recommended and preferred. I must admit, I have never used a torque bar/wrench on anything other than replacing a head gasket. I’ve worked on countless cars of mine over 30 years and never torqued to spec with no negative effects. Again, I agree with you but it’s just not something I do.

[@brandonurban5215]

Did you need to burp the cooling system at all? Or just top off fluid and be done

[@marenothecarguy8361]

The amount of fluid lost was so minimal that burping wasn’t necessary. I just topped it off. Although I did initially let it warm up with the cap off to be able to add additional fluid after the thermostat opened. When I replaced the lower radiator hose, I had to drain all of the fluid first. Even in the situation I didn’t need to burp the system. I’m not saying burping isn’t necessary, but I just haven’t had to do it.

[@brandonurban5215]

@@marenothecarguy8361 got it. Thank you.

[@sergio7139]

I already switch out both parts and it still does the same thing. What is it?

[@marenothecarguy8361]

Which thermostat did you replace it with? Some are designed to open as low as 160F and others at 180F. On the higher end, you will find some that open at 208F and 212F. I went with a 212F thermostat.

[@andresbeltran2921]

Did you disconnect the battery for a few seconds?? After installing the thermostat

[@amitylyles9553]

Thanks for the video. All the symptoms and weather conditions sound almost identical except I had noticed the fan was loud and kept running for a few minutes after turning vehicle off. Did you notice that also?

[@amitylyles9553]

Would like to also where did you order your part from? Tia

[@marenothecarguy8361]

I didn’t hear my fan behaving out of the norm. Sounds to me like your coolant temperature sensor is bad. ACDelco Professional 213-4514 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor a.co/d/5S8sHQf

Here is the link to the thermostat. It’s off of Amazon and it’s a genuine GM part. GM Genuine Parts 15-11125 Water Pump Outlet Assembly with Thermostat a.co/d/e2KtyiM

[@alvarb16]

Mine is doing the same thing right now.. have you done anything to fix the problem yet?

[@mykes5597]

My trucks fan was doing the same thing. Replace the coolant temperature sensor. That did the trick. Easy to do there's a few vids on KZbin to walk you thru it. Biggest step not to forget is unplug the battery to reset the computer once the repair is made

[@caseykelso1]

Great content! I'm going to do my sons 2018 premier, same motor This will help...p.s. buy a fkin tripod, struggling with 1 arm...no bueno brother. But I don't think it's the thermostat because my son's temperature gauge in his truck doesn't register at all and he has good heat coming out of his car when it's running great Heat. So I don't think it's actually the thermostat I think it's something else any suggestions? Anything will help.

[@marenothecarguy8361]

The thermostat wouldn't affect the gauge not registering any temperature. Sounds to me like it's your Coolant Temperature Sensor. It's even easier to change and cheaper. BTW, I do have tripod, but a tripod doesn't help much when you want to zoom in and out and get multiple angles. I use one when it's convenient and I hold the camera when it's not. Maybe one day I'll hire a camera person ....LOL :)

[@ernestogomez4025]

It’s the temperature sensor valve you want to charge both
