Video

Hi it’s a nice video a have a same truck but I have a problem with temperature gauge and my air conditioner don’t heat you think can be that part thermostat and I have another question suppose to be can be the coolant sensor but I don know were is that can you help me I’m in trouble thanks I hope you answer

Nice vid

One thing left out is to let the air out of the coolant.

What's the part number?

Man, I know this video is old, but I’m really having trouble finding the thermostat you’re using here that fits properly. I also can’t find the thermostat housing gasket. Any point in the right direction would be much appreciated. Thank you 🙏🏼

Idk what I’ve done wrong, but my thermostat housing still has coolant after draining the radiator

P0122

With new wires and plugs and thermostat my five speed standard gets twenty three to twenty six MPG at 160000 odometer reading high way. Thanks 👍

Hello everyone . My housing bolts are rusted where I cant get them off . Does anyone know the size thread and length of the bolts?

You didn't have to burp the system?

👍Thank you!!! Your video is the only one covering 00Mazda B2500 2.5L engine, so I'm appreciate this video. Do we have 2 Coolant Temperature Sensors on our Thermostat Housing? Curious what brands are recommend on the senors and thermostat? Going to try make some videos for our neglected 2.5L engine😅

Please be advised. I changed my thermostat. Got it back together and it wouldn't start. While pulling the Temp sensor wires back. I pulled out da crank sensor plug. I was a day away from giving up.

Good video

Thank you for this.. It was just what I needed.

Left bolt is a bitch.

the thermostat housings go bad and wont allow a good seal for the thermostat,filling the housing with coolant to test is an excellent way to save you grief should the housing not mate with the thermostat.little or no heat and low temp is a tell tale sign of a bad seal.

Thank u. Ur right there wasn't no video for our motors and year truck. 👍

Wish I could figure out how to get the left bolt on the housing started. Ya can't see up in there, the bolt is black (8mm) the housing is black and when I use a mirror all I see is black, lol.

Radiator hose

Thanks for the video. I replaced my radiator, hoses, and thermostat yesterday and was not sure how to get to the thermostat, which has always been obvious on any other vehicle I've owned. For what it's worth, with the radiator and fan shroud out of the way I had no need to remove the fan in order to get to the thermostat, although I doubt that I would have ever found the bolts without watching a video.

Thanks for the video great video but I did not have to take the fan off

Great video man it helped alot

Where did you get the thermostat

That's a rad hose dude

Great vid. Thanks for sharing

The intro absolutely destroyed my eyes js

Any issues with breaking the bolts upon removal? I have to do mine and they have not been removed in 20 years and I am concerned about breaking them when I remove them. Any thoughts? Did you need to use any locktite or thread sealer upon installation?

Winter gets here tomorrow and I'm ready,thanks for your video!

been putting this off on my buddy's truck because we could NOT figure out how to get to it. Thanks for the vid!

Dude. You are driving an Automatic, with a Tach. My 99 5 speed, has no Tach. Ford Designers are smoking too much Charcoal.

Having a leak in that area, would it be from the housing or the gasket being old?

Is their a certain way that the feet like the two things sticking out of the thermostat has to go?

Good video man.... I gotta do this tomorrow... my temp guage isn't working... new to me truck so I'm gonna replace Tstat and go from there..

what brand thermostat?

Awesome vid, that salt sure did corrode your undercarriage

why do people leave out the most difficult thing to do. starting the bolts and keeping everything in place is the hardest thing to do, getting your socket on to remove and using your socket to install wiil make you crazy!

Just finished this today, fixed my heat to where I sweat and gauge now comes off "C". Advance Auto Carquest OE thermostat did not fit without falling out, but AutoZone Duralast OE worked perfect! Although now my gauge goes down to about 1/3 (which is still higher than before) when I let off the gas sometimes and goes back up when accelerating...? Amazing vid btw!!

Love the gopro camera angles & good explanation. Could put the engine desc. in the title - makes it easier to find.

Super helpful man. Thanks for the video

B Brown, now this is what I was looking for! The thermostat I was using was not fitting correctly and I did not know that you put it in the neck instead of the block. I am used to Chevy's. This is an awesome video. Thank you so much for going step by step on this. Great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks alot man.. this video really helped as I also have a 98 and need to change the thermostat.

Just writing to tell you how much I value your time and experience for posting this DIY video. Very helpful. Thank you very much.

Don't you need any Gasket cement and/or a gasket as well for the thermostat housing??

Dude, great video. I would not be able to do this on the outside with snow and no globes.

Nice vid man but try to make your mic volume a little higher

Thanks for the video. I have the exact same model truck and my gas mileage has always been sort of low, like 17 or 18 mpg around town and 20 ish on the highway. I suspect this could be why.

Nice vid man ! Made it easy for me to switch mine out ! Thank you for taking your time to help us out

What kind of sockets do you have?

Where did you get the t stat that locks in ? At a dealership?
