Thermostat Replacement Chevrolet Blazer 1995-2005

[@randys1633]

You don't need to drain the radiator. You'll lose about a 1/2 cup of coolant. Place rags around to catch the overflow.

[@johnbeckwith864]

Every time I needed to see something the guys arm was in the way.

[@52ChocolateAcorns]

Did water get in the bolt holes like it had for me? If so wouldn't tightening the bolts with the water possibly create hydrolic pressure and break something?

[@isselarogel2840]

What tools are needed?

[@MrThorMNFinest]

Great video superstar I actually figured that's where she'd be. You already knew that's right where the bugger was! 🙏☀️🌎😼

[@OakiezWorld]

When we adding the coolant at the end, do I add it to the reservoir or to the radiator itself???

[@Mike_The_Hog_A_Nator]

Those Studs break off easy. I'd recommend putting a little grease on the studs when replacing. One of mine broke, my uncle's & my Cousins all broke a stud on the 4.3 thermostat housing

[@12345Flipside]

Yes. I can not get out the two bolts of the thermostat housing. What should i do now...? I have fear, to break it...! Thanks!

[@louisgallaher5487]

@@12345Flipside proablby will have to drill bit and break into it and wide the whole for the new stud to get in bc my stud broke into the engine too bout a quarter of the screw broke inside the head.. but i still got the house in with remain screw

[@kevinkennedy7631]

I broke one too.

[@alexsbikesandmotors]

you don't have to remove the bracket that holds the throttle cables

[@warrenmorphis4208]

On some of these S10s , you do.....

[@bluehawkartist455]

thank you for showing this video my dad appreciates it he learned a lot

[@2carpros]

Our pleasure!

[@louisgallaher5487]

i didnt drain my radiator but one of the studs broke inside the engine.. where do i got to replace the broken stud

[@dubadair]

Would this be the same procedure for a 97 gmc jimmy?

[@2carpros]

It would be super similar! Thank you for watching!

[@baldy194859]

I have a 1999 4.3 blazer ! what size thermostat does it take ? I heard it took a 195 and then I heard it took a 180 degree !

[@2carpros]

+Lloyd Dailey it takes a 195

[@eliaslinter8580]

¿De 195 aún en lugares donde las temperaturas son de 104 grados F.? Como en el Paso Tx.

[@eltonaraguzrenteria5422]

Se calentaba o que falla tenia?

[@warrenmorphis4208]

Nice view of YOUR ARM ......

[@apophisb7597]

If all you saw was his arm might want to have your eyes checked out.

[@rccleto4727]

Porque não mostra colocando água e tirando ar do sistema

[@tootsieexxxavier5598]

What size is the socket used

[@nathanvance4103]

Tootsie Exx Xavier 1/2” or 13mm

[@cesarGonzalez-o6g]

Thank you so much excellent awesome

[@2carpros]

You are so welcome!

[@ericmoyer7300]

I don't believe draining radiator would be necessary

[@2carpros]

It just makes for a cleaner install. Thanks for watching!

[@warrenmorphis4208]

It's not...the little amount of coolant at the housing, is not gonna be enough to warrant that petcock work!! Have a paper towel ready to absorb the bit that may leak out....No big deal.

[@michaelmontenegro2251]

I just did my thermostat on my 2000 Blazer 4X4 and now the temperature gauge is pointing all the way down. Anybody else have this problem

[@2carpros]

Might be a defective thermostat. Thanks for watching!

[@AntonioRamirez-zh7bw]

Muchísimas gracias aprendí demasiado De seguro me voy a ahorrar mucho dinero

[@2carpros]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@jorr59]

Yo también!!

[@droo7318]

is there no silicone gasket needed?

[@DustinBigMac]

Nope just the oring around the thermostat itself

[@warrenmorphis4208]

Nope . Just make sure the mating surfaces are good and clean. I use a razor blade if needed.

[@AdamBennett-zp3yf]

What size socket is needed? Need to give that info. Also, I have a 2002, and you do not need to remove the air intake and drain the antifreeze. There is no need for that.

[@scottkozitzki2407]

this is not how my 95 blazers thermostat sets in the motor

[@littlebluedaewoo]

no music.. this isnt a music video, is it..?

[@MrThorMNFinest]

Why it sure is. Duh. I love this music video.

[@snakesgunsandbikes]

what size socket

[@nathanvance4103]

Sean Rauls 1/2” or 13mm

[@jasonconklin8172]

The pros kno amont ft lbs with out wrench , and this job its not critical anyway comon sence 35 ft lbs good apx

[@ethereal5592]

My dad says move your arm.

[@cruzt77]

[@eagles_nationfly_eagles_fl2093]

cruz torres Its located on the bottom left side of the radiator. Just above in front of the frame as seen in the video.

[@tamzenkarma]

I had to turn this one off that frickin music... arghhhhhhh😟

what is that he's spraying?

[@2carpros]

I'm not sure what you are refering to. If it is in an orange can that it carburetor spray, it is used for a number of things including cleaning.

[@Tterryups]

you skipped the bracket removeal

[@2carpros]

Yep the clip was lost, sorry it happens

[@juangranados2408]

thanks you good video

[@2carpros]

Thanks for watching!

the music!!!!! we don't need music for this video. !

Your a whiny lil snowflake shut up

[@marycallahan4839]

Are you single? lol just kidding! I need a trustworthy mechanic!

[@2carpros]

Haha! We are tough to find. If you are in Orange County in CA I could point you to one. Otherwise just keep watching the videos! :)

[@jordansalmond8483]

Looks difficult

[@zachosburn2166]

Dude drain it iv never drained the radiator

[@kentbernard1117]

why dont you use the torque wrench like the pro's do....................................................

[@2carpros]

+kennybopaloo Bop When you have been working on cars for a long time using a torque wrench is not needed for something like this. If you are not confident in what tightness it should be google search the torque spec's.

[@KingBigg55]

Lol have you ever been in a shop? Other than suspension and deep motor work they very rarely break out the torque wrench. Most bolts are just fine at tightening with a wrench until its snug

[@moiusa]

The music isn't necessary.. all it does is disrupt the concentration of the learning process...

[@2carpros]

It's gone! Thanks for watching!

[@kentbernard1117]

you dont torque it.......................

[@2carpros]

+kennybopaloo Bop just make it tight but don't over tighten you will be okay

[@kentbernard1117]

why don't people use the torque ratings that manufactures advise to use ?

[@2carpros]

+kennybopaloo Bop - We will include it in the next video thanks for the comment,

[@CBR900RR4U2NV]

Can you NOT include the 70's porn background music?
