Replacing the Thermostat Housing on a 2018 Dodge Journey 3.6

[@toa3476]

Perfect instructional video. Thank you! We'll be changing ours out in the next few days.

Thank you. Regards, Bob

That's a solid fix and I bet way cheaper than having a shop fix the issue.

[@WhatchaDoinBob]

Thank you Robert, Under $25.00 is pretty cheap for any car repair. Regards, Bob

I’ll find out how much it cost for the repair. I need to fix my thermostat on my caravan.

[@WhatchaDoinBob]

Hopefully it’s not too expensive. It took less than 30 minutes.

I cannot let my husband work on my car. He has a caveman attitude toward fixing things. Tighten until it squeaks or beat it with a hammer. Then I usually have to get my youngest son to come fix whatever he broke trying to fix it. lol

[@WhatchaDoinBob]

That is a shame. At least your son is mechanically inclined.

How do you burp it ?

[@WhatchaDoinBob]

There may be other or even better ways to burp the cooling system. Please check around. I Kept an eye on the tank next to the passenger side wheel housing. As my wife drove the car the air left the system and was replaced by the fluid from the reservoir. I watched it daily after every trip my wife took to work and added antifreeze until it stayed at the same level. Took maybe 4 days in my case.

@ Thank you, I’m getting ready to replace my sister in law’s thermostat on her journey Gt this Saturday. Thank you for the video and advice

Young people these days would just stare at the tools and wonder what they are/used for. :D Do my own work also. Much cheaper.

[@WhatchaDoinBob]

Hello Paul, I try to do as much of the work as I can. There are jobs I am willing to pay someone else to do. As I get older, strength and time are two major factors in that decision. Regards, Bob
