replacing thermostat on a 2019 gmc canyon v6

[@JonBrough-y6x]

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!!

[@nobueno8652]

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.

[@patwhite8156]

For never making a you tube video before you nailed it. Well done and thank you very much!

[@Christian-rt3kg]

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.

[@Monkey72682]

Your video saved me a a few bucks, auto shop was asking $450 to replace thermostat, got it for $44 at Auto Zone and replaced it.

[@Saberhagan]

Man, mine died today on my 2019. You are a godsend. Thank you!

[@Enfieldriderlongisland]

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.

[@santosquintero2787]

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

[@EpicWin2005]

They just quoted me $700 to for parts and labor. Am I being ripped off?

[@timdecker6119]

Having the exact same problem and this is the most helpful video I've come across explaining how to fix it. Thank you

[@dmarchlewski]

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.

[@hlfpsttomorrow93]

I’ll be doin this same repair on my 2018 with 97k miles on it.

[@powerwashprosandhomeservic6502]

Did you have issue with no AC and no temp guage? Just happened on my 18 z71, thinking its either of those or both? Thanks for any info

[@uboii]

Thanks for letting me know. I couldn’t findnit

[@Ciso_diagnostics]

What ever happened to your AC? How’d you fix it?

[@calebmoss2081]

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.

[@dustindelsi982]

Great video. Better than others I’ve come across.

[@rynedude]

Thanks for this vid. Just changed my thermostat out. Cheers from Colorado

[@gard523]

Fantastic job, great first KZbin video. Way more informative than professional mechanics. I would’ve wasted so much time had I followed the other videos I watched.

[@gard523]

I think you should keep making videos. Would have never guessed this was the first time had you not said it.

[@neilis2405]

FYI - this is actually the same part and location from 2017 forward. The 2015 and 2016 models have a different V6 engine.

[@danniemclendon1182]

Good looking out. I'm working on my 2018 Colorado and it is identical. Thanks.

[@mojoryzen9235]

Hey I just wanted to say THANK YOU! My 2018 z71 v6 was in the same place your video save the day!

[@fredwatts7742]

Perfect. Exactly what I was looking for on my Colorado.

[@RoyGiglio]

Thank you for taking time to do this changed mine today.

[@WBOS72]

Thanks for the video. My 2018 Colorado 3.6 LGZ is the same as yours, in same location.

[@uboii]

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

[@Punchy_Portuguese]

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.

[@TroyEllis-br5zz]

Man how did you get the senor to go back in? Mine will not catch

[@Punchy_Portuguese]

@@TroyEllis-br5zz Wobble extensions and a curved wrench. Wasn't the easiest thing I've done but I got her done.

[@christianmoreno8025]

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.

[@evdallas123]

How hard was the temp sensor?

[@Ellington_Industrial_Arts]

Thanks for making the video! Saved me a lot of time

[@Hunting451]

Thanks. Just like my 2017. Looks doable. Tomorrow will be the day.

[@PhilSwovelandii]

Good video. Also works on a 2020 Canyon.

[@erik20675]

Same issue. The fan running while off and temp gauge bottomed out. Will do this asap. Cant imagine how much $ you're saving us. Thanks

[@harveyottotech]

Great first video!

[@fatusalima]

Thank you brother much appreciated 🙏 helped me alot

[@lloydbrown6165]

Great video! Thank you for sharing!!!!

[@dmarchlewski]

Thanks for sharing 👍....you helped me big time!!

[@KennyJax-zf8vo]

Was very helpful thanks man

[@k_h_nobody]

Thanks for the video. I'm actually supposed to try to replace that coolant temperature sensor tomorrow on that same engine. Hopefully it goes smooth 🙏

[@powerwashprosandhomeservic6502]

How did it go with sensor? I just lot my temp guage and AC, thinking it's sensor and or thermostat? Any info is appreciated!!

[@k_h_nobody]

@@powerwashprosandhomeservic6502 got a cheap one, broke off inside the motor, wouldn't thread right. Fished it out, took hours. Use AC DELCO ONLY !!!!!!!!!!!

[@skulkn2670]

Good job for a first video!

[@citruspressurewash]

Very helpful thank you!!

[@waltersteffensthezr2man431]

Took me 2 hours to replace the coolant sensor right behind that did not expect it to be that hard probably would have been a lot easier to go ahead and pull the thermostat off first that sensor's right behind it😂

[@rafecolii]

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.

[@MarioSanchez-os3fv]

i was super careful to make sure i didn't do that as the sensor is not magnetic

[@skeebote]

Great video, thank you!

[@MarioSanchez-os3fv]

nice. im working on a 2018 but i'm pretty sure it's the same as yours. it pays 7 hours so thanks for letting me know how easy it is ^_^

[@MikeJohnson-ut7lx]

My 2018 Colorado is a GDI 3.6L engine also.

[@manofspam1087]

you are the man thank you

[@CRYPTICCAMP]

Thanks for the video

[@efrainlunas]

Thank you man...

[@dmunozkuster]

bunch of fluids came out when I replaced this part. What is it and do I need to top off before driving again? Thanks

[@MARTY-ef5ru]

Is this the same on a 2017 Canyon and is the temp sensor next to the thermostat? Great video, thanks for posting.

[@evanprimrose1159]

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

[@walterstreeter6736]

I'm not sure if a 2017 is the same. Once you remove the top engine cover you know and the cover has to come off on either of them.

[@evanprimrose1159]

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 !

[@MARTY-ef5ru]

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.

[@jremeee1599]

@@MARTY-ef5ru yes 2017+ has the LGZ engine. So anything after 2017 is the same as your vehicle. Thanks Walt! ;)

[@vinnier6]

Exact same as my 2017 ZR2

[@eddiehehe]

Is it safe to drive the truck with the check engine light on and the thermostat not registering the temperature? (Check engine is due to thermostat)

[@jakewalkey1057]

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!

[@walterstreeter6736]

I think we got it from advance auto parts

[@EK-tu8fu]

Thanks for the vid.

[@kennichols7688]

Thank you! 5:34pm

[@ronsullivan132]

Did you find any air bleeders on the engine when refilling the system?

[@walterstreeter6736]

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.

[@rafaelrosales9975]

Thanks 🙏🙏

[@vladflux]

My 2018 Z71 is the same as that one...👍👍🇺🇲

[@jrbrown1978]

Thanks just did one for a coworker

My AC stopped working about the same time. The fan started running every time I turned off the truck.

[@walterstreeter6736]

@@CRYPTICCAMP that's the symptoms and why I made the video.

[@foycur]

Do you know if this engine the same as the 2020 Chevy Colorado?

[@walterstreeter6736]

As far as I know it is. You should be able to tell by looking at it with a flashlight.

[@foycur]

@@walterstreeter6736 indeed it is, everything looks identical. Gonna roll up my sleeves and give this a go thanks for the education!

thanks sir

do I have to drain the reservoir first?

Doing this tomorrow would have had no clue how to do it

[@jesusmejia1359]

where could you buy the thermostat? i've fought a lot so I can buy it!

[@walterstreeter6736]

Advance auto parts

[@Monkey72682]

I couldn’t find it at Advance, dealer was asking $150 and didn’t have in stock, found it at Autozone for $44

[@kennya1425]

​@jmora0567 This Thermostat is $125 at Auto Zone. Do you have the link or part number for the one you used?

[@justme4376]

Damn. I took the wrong screw out. They said I can do it from the wheel well .

[@sammymedina1601]

I really don't understand why that thermostat has to be replaced after 3 years of having a new canyon.

[@Monkey72682]

Same here, I’m pretty sure it’s done on purpose, dealer wanted $155 for a new one
