Thanks for the info. It dosn’t matter what accent you have it’s the
invormation thats important and that you took your time to share that
information!!!!!!!

meTimetraveler says:

make sure to have the ignition off when you disconnect/reconnect the
sensors. Do not reuse gaskets. Do not remove the throttle body, remove the
exhaust cross over. Squirt the studs/bolts for the cross over with liquid
wrench an hour or so before you remove them.

Man that’s nuts! The engine designers should have to work on their designs.
I recently heard these motors are built to last over 400k. Apparently this
was achieved by allowing a little ‘piston slap’, which acts to minimize
wear during cold starts; this explains the noise they make. Well done
Canuks! (I genuinely mean that; since I myself have Canuk roots; my last
name is ‘Credit’, as in Port Credit, just south of Toronto.

I don’t care what he sounds like. I came because I needed advice:(bite the
hand that feed me?.I think not)…I just appreciate the advice not
judging…just grateful..thanks for the post.)

great video..thanks 4 uploading

KleetisTheFeetis says:

honestly, i have no idea what you are doing or where in this video. if this
is better than your last one, i’d burn your camera and delete your account.
P.s. I don’t if anyone realized that this car is the most poorly designed/
engineered P.o.s. i’ve ever seen. I mean for fuck sake they have to mark
everything with different color crayons to make it easier for the people
assembling it.

I’m in no way a gearhead, but I could follow this video easily.

templetext says:

Thanks for your video. It helped me get started. I’ve tried to include the
completion part and helps for completing the job. I made a follow up video
but can’t figure out how to put it here. Search templetext 1997 pontiac.

jerimiahmt says:

I have a 05 impala and a monte carlo, botha have the same motor and I gotta
do both, i just looked over the car and all the work you did wasnt
neccesary, just remove the entire air box asembly and im good. P, S if you
take apart anything that needs a gasket REPLACE the gaskest!

Rosemary Regan says:

Hey jerks, if you don’t like the way the guy does it – then don’t do it his
way. Simple as that. Don’t knock his way because it’s not how you would do
it. I for one am glad that there are people who take the time to make
videos like this to help people save money. That being said, you have
Michigan in your name MichiganFlyer…do you live in Michigan? My
thermostat went bad and I have lupus although I tried to follow your video,
I couldn’t. Can you come change it for me? 😀

Russ Gardner says:

To all you haters–didn’t see your videos on here! It wasn’t the best video
I have ever seen, but certainly not the worst! He did explain it in a way
that a novice can understand and follow. Wish he would have totally
replaced a thermostat, but overall it does the job! Thanks!

Ted Matthews says:

I have a 2004 impala and the thermostat is in the same place. I followed
the video and instruction. I only had to remove the manifold shield in
order to reach under to remove the bottom thermostat housing bolt. It is
not easy. You can not use a socket to remove the bottom bolt from the
thermostat housing. There is no room. The manifold is too close for a
socket wrench. This was a good video on how to remove the thermostat. You
have to have patience and observe.

i did not learn from this video as a matter of fact i got dumber watching
it lol

facio559 says:

Just did this on a job was a complete bitch to get that last thermostat
bolt my forearms are all bruised up but i managed to get it with out taking
off manifold or making adjustments.

drew blue says:

🙂 iam now officially a impala lover 🙂

kingtazmlk says:

this is so sad please no more videos

MichiganFlyer2 says:

Thanks for the reply. I actually did not do it myself but a nice guy came
over and did it for me. I don’t have the tools to complete the job at the
moment. I live in the Lansing area. Do you have a similar vehicle to the 02
Impala?

Zehnuss says:

“before you untighten it all the way” WTF??? Nice vocabulary Kermit the
Frog!

frailsongs4u says:

I have a 2003 impala. Same set up. Video was perfect. Good job.
