This video shows you how to install a new TRQ thermostat and housing in your 2017-2022 GMC Acadia. The thermostat controls the flow of coolant in your vehicle’s engine. When a thermostat fails, it can lead to overheating, which will damage the engine. One sign of a faulty thermostat is a cool upper radiator hose when the engine is at full operating temperature. It’s important to replace the thermostat immediately if you suspect it is failing.
This process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2017 GMC Acadia
2018 GMC Acadia
2019 GMC Acadia
2020 GMC Acadia
2021 GMC Acadia
2022 GMC Acadia

Great DETAILED VIDEO BUT THEY SURE DONT MAKE THEM LIKE THEY USED TO
ILL TAKE A 1999 OR EARLIER VECHICAL ANY DAY THATS WHY YOU GUYS MAKE THE BIG BUCKS
MANY PROPS TO YOU BROTHER.
This is the MOST thorough walk-through that I've been able to find. Thank you!
Where did you get the o rings
Outstanding video…… followed video for a perfect removal and re-install. Not difficult if you follow the video…. Great job!!
Excellent video, what a pain, not like the old days.
Thank you for this video and all the comments as I read about all of them. My ‘18 Acadia Denali doesn’t have a check engine light at the moment but the fan is blowing on high and I’m not getting a read on my gauge on my dash. With this I will be more prepared as I do not have $1k+ to throw into my vehicle right now.
Just changed it. Your video is top of the line and it saved me!! Thank you!!!
You just saved me $1800!!! THANK YOU!!
Just wanted to say Thank you for this video! Really helped me out!
This step-by-step was excellent and I successfully replaced the thermostat and the coolant temperature sensor on my 2017 Acadia that was getting the check engine errors. The only thing that did not match the video was that when I turned the valve to drain the radiator, nothing came out even though it was not empty. I was able to rotate it 90 degrees and tried back and forth but still nothing came out. I have had no issues since the repair was completed a few weeks ago.
Thank you for the video, I just did it today, and the hardest part was replacing the temperature sensor, I got it because it was exposed and made more sense to me to do it. Also, I didn't take the battery off.
I was getting ready to change it my self until I came across a forum. And someone in the comments advice to reset the codes with the code reader. Sometimes the sensors glitches and throws a fault. I did as he said, It work!!! The power steering went back to normal and started blowing cold air again . But I'm still saving this video just incase I have future issues .
Around the 16 minute mark, what are those two small pipes called? Or do you have a part number for them? I slid the one closest to the cab out easily, but the one further away from the cab, I snapped the tip of it. I retrieved the tip easily and It was able to slide back in and seal up just fine with the tiny o ring, but I’m going to want to replace it eventually. Every time I try to explain that piece to someone, we can never find it. Anybody know the part number? It would be much appreciated.
What ever happened to 2 bolts and a gasket. Over engendered piece of garbage
What a great detailed video which saved me a ton of money by doing it myself. I did not remove the battery box and left the radiator hose attached to the pipe. I also changed out the coolant temperature sensor since it was easy to access with the thermostat out. Sensor was under $10 so it makes since replace while apart. Also replaced 6 manifold gaskets.
