Does this work on the grand caravan as well?
i have the same car and my thermostat housing is leaking coolant from the bottom what can i do
hello, do you know where the Town country 3.3 v6 year 2003/2004 temperature sensor is located?
Thumbs up . But there is a drain hose connector on the bottom of the valve. Slip a hose over the nipple, rotate the square plug a quarter turn counter clockwise, pull it outward with pliers and coolant will neatly drain out the hose.
Not exactly the same for ‘03. Thermostat does not take o-ring
Awesome. Thanks for posting.
Why does my thermostat have a gasket between the housing n engine lol and yours doesnt ???i got a 2007 dodge caravan 3.3 3.8 ltr engine
on a side note I got home with the part ( Duralast #65695 ) and sat down to watch the video before I started working, it got to the part with the O-ring and I thought to myself "ah frack, that means I'll have to walk down to the store unless I can save the previous O-ring, I get the old thermostat off and pull the new one out of the box and, lo and behold it came with an O-ring … so just so your future viewers are aware … Thank you for the video it was amazingly educational and entertaining at the same time …
For that bit between 7:30 and 7:36 I actually feel bad that I can only give this video one like instead of the "machine gun rambo likes"
Smh a have a 06 3.3l with a metal housing i cant get it to seal only the felt seal works but they dont sell it anymore not even gasket maker im stuck
Riddled with commercials – a real turn off – Takes a very long time to explain anything simple, all designed to have you watch ADDS
Amazon says this will not fit. Any Ideas?
Great video, however it skipped an important step: how to get to inside the coil unit. Looks like I need to remove steering liquid reservoir ? Remove some cover from the unit ? 2CarPros, please remember, many of your watchers are car mechanic dummies, which need step by step direction (-: Otherwise, the video is great. Special thanks for the links to the thermostat and gasket.
Very good video!! Pls can I ask you? How many Liter Antifreeze Coolant did you use? Thanks
🙁 i just flushed the radiator and put new stuff in.
Good video. Thanks. Autozone told me I needed an additional gasket. Which I do not need. I didn’t remember having to put a gasket between the housing and water neck 2 years ago. The rubber seal is all you need. Thanks
how can I tell if my thermostat is bad?
Que Tipo De Herramienta Utilizo Para Apretar Los Tornillos ?
Did you say drain is on right side if you are under it??? Please know which is left or right. You described it 3 ways. Does no one call it a "goose neck" anymore?
My question: Do you have to remove the coolant out of the radiator? I'm stuck in a town I'm unfamiliar with and I need to replace this at auto zone.
2carpros I have a question, when you drained the coolant it looked orangish,and you put green back in. As I understand it you should use orange because its formulated for use in engines with aluminium parts. I was wandering if you were using universal coolant?
Did they stop making the funnel? I don't see a link to it.
Great video, but I don't see the link to purchase the funnel?
The first 2min 40. Is exactly the same as your coolant video lol. Suppose you just continued on from flushing it.
Very helpful. Best video I found. Much appreciated.
Good video. 2 things to simplify this job: leave the hose clamped on, just undo the 2 bolts, and don't drain any coolant the hose is empty when engine is off. Some models use 13mm bolts and don't look like this video inside; the gasket is different and the way the thermostat is held in place is different.
good video very descriptive, however – got 2 questions: 1 – how do you diagnose bad thermostat? 2 – should you flash the system, at least ones? Other than that – you good –> more videos plz!!!
