Dude... I actually have my own channel on fixing cars, but this video convinced me to take it to a mechanic. I've never seen a car where it takes this much work to replace a simple thermostat.
I gotta tackle this tomorrow😂 and I thought the 6 cylinder Chevy trailblazer was bad
Hahaha thank you for saying that. I don't feel so bad now. I just gotta keep telling myself I can do this
After watching about four different videos on how to do this job, I can verify this is the best tutorial available.
Thanks for not droning on at the beginning and the great camera work - a rare quality...nice work! Can't wait to fix mine (actually I can but this will make it much less painful).
Lol..thanks for watching my friend. Please consider subscribing. Thanks
This was definitely helpful to give an idea of how to go about it. I’m a professional tech and i still found that bottom bolt quite frustrating. On the reinstall I found it helpful to go ahead and put the bolt in the lower hole and get the socket extension on and work the whole thing into the engine bay together.
Yea I forgot about the other tip I had for this vid at the time. Same what you saying. I use one of the 8mm bolts from the bracket, put a lil silicone on the treads then insert the bolt in the hole so it would stay and then insert the thermostat down in its place..good stuff man
Thank goodness for a DIY video that's straight to the point, no unnecessary details, and very entertaining! Definitely subbing !
Excellent video, straight to the point and not fifty minutes long.
I found all of the information very helpful and it's talked me out of doing it myself in the driveway.
Some things you do yourself others you write a painfully large check for.
This is one that I'm going to write a check ✔️ to fix.
Your video was very helpful and thank you for jumping right into it instead of giving a 30-minute back story about things nobody cares about.
Perfect! Thanks for the quick and easy step by step. No BS no filler! Get it done! Wish all fixit videos were this good.
Also, that back bottom bolt is an absolute pain! I cut an 8mm wrench in half and was able to make that work
Best video ever! I wish all "how to videos" where like yours! At least now I know I can't do it lol. Thanks!
lol, Yea not to discourage you but its not a easy job. I have done a few now but the first 3 was extremely hard. Thanks for watching bud, please thumbs up the video and subscribe to the channel, thanks
I replaced one this weekend. Thanks for the tech tip with taping up the swivel socket and extension--huge help!
Thats whats up, you welcome..Hey subscribe to the channel for me, thanks..
Thank you for this video! It made changing out this stat a snap! That last 10mm bolt requires a lot of patience and a tiny 10mm swivel socket. You are the best!!
BY FAR, THE BEST “HOW TO” for the 2.4 thermostat R & R!!
Thats whats up, thanks for watching bud. Please remember to thumbs up the video and subscribe to the channel, thanks

Thank you so much. Probably the best help video i have ever used. Very clear and to the point. This will make the job soooooooo much easier.
Amazing camera work and explaining, straight to the point. About to pick up the thermostat and housing for the parts store and go home and start cussing at my wife’s car right now lol. Hopefully this video will make it less painful
You’re a gift from the good lord! Saved me hundreds of dollar my friend. God bless you
lol, YW, please subscribe to the channel for me, thanks
BY FAR the BEST explanation of this job. Your descriptive communication as you work is flawless and very very helpful. Keep it up my brother! Thanks for the help. I will use your videos first from now on.
Glad it was helpful!
This video was very helpful, and your positive attitude and energy was the icing on the cake
Well thanks for watching Matt. Please thumbs up the video and subscribe to the channel, thanks
Boy, you made that shit look extra easy! Thanks for the quick video!! Struggling to the point!!
0:35 thank you so much for mentioning that mine was just hanging from the frame and I started to have some problems with the radiator fan not working on low speed any more!! Since my 2015 Chrysler 200 doesn't have a radiator fan relay I think that was the problem because I don't have overheating any more since I put the wire back , thank you so much!!!!
Thank you and I love you for this video!!! I deal with GM mostly but I’m helping a coworker who drives a Cherokee with the 2.4. Excellent video and I’m going to commit this to memory and save it just in case I forget something!!
We did it! Got the thermostat housing out and replaced it, broke a couple small plastic hose clips but otherwise it went just as you explained, thank you for posting!😊😊😊😊
Ayyyyyeeeeee, thats whats up Charlie
Great video. Thank you for showing how this task is done.
Absolutely loved this, love the way you do this stuff. Thank you .
Thanks for the video! Took me 2 days but I was able to get the new thermostat in and no more check engine light.
O cool, thats whats up bud. As long as you got er done. Thanks for watching. Please remember to thumbs up the video and sub the channel for me, thanks
Thanks man that bottom bolt towards the firewall has been kicking my ass for 20 minutes now!
I want to thank you, your video help me replace my sisters Jeep Cherokee thermostat
Glad the video was of help to you, thanks for watching and please subscribe, thanks
Update!: i have large hands i removed the 2 studs from the intake to get the support bracket out of my way entirely. my snapon 1/4" 10mm would bind during removal had to back housing out with it.
Still thank you man!
Just noticed this was a 4 year old video. But maaaaan I'm this pulled up when I had to search how to replace thermostat on a 2016 Fiat 2.4. That bottom bolt was wooping my but. Had to go to the parts store and buy a swivel 10mm and use your tape trick. Been working on that bolt for hour. Five minutes using your method and it was off. Owe you $ for that. Not sure if you will even see this comment since it's an old video. But definitely appreciate it.
Thats whats up UD, glad you got er done
@@OnlineMechanicTips appreciate you
You would be proud, went with OEM and replaced the oil pressure sensor OEM. Mopar no car 😁
I don't have a car with this engine, but this was well-done & very informative. I like the idea of taping the swivel socket on, so I will keep that in mind. On my 2003 Saturn L (2.2 Ecotec), when I replaced the crank sensor, it required removal of the starter. When I replaced the starter, I had to tape 1 of the bolts to the socket & extension. I have heard of stuffing a piece of paper or a leaf into the socket to hold the bolt, but that was not going to work, so it had to be tape. You just have to be careful and try to position the tape so that it will all pull back once the bolt is seated in the threads.
lol, IKR..I have lost plenty of good high dollar swivel 10mm sockets because of not doing it..Thanks for watching bud, please subscribe to the channel for me, thanks
You do a really good job with great explanation and make this look easy which only makes me feel even more overwhelmed. I thought I could do this by myself. Not so sure now. This doesn't look exactly like my '17 Jeep Patriot.
Ok, I got my head on straight. I can do this.
yes you can. Please thumbs up the video and subscribe to the channel for me, thanks
Please note since this guy does turorial videos but skips around many important steps that the vacuum pump has 2 rubber gaskets and i almost didn't notice the smaller one popped out when i removed it.
But I don't do tutorial videos dude.
Thank you for the video it was extremely well explained and well edited
The tape on the socket trick saved me this week.
Thank you for this video!
lol, thanks for watching bud. Please thumbs up the video and subscribe to the channel, thanks
Did you put the black bracket back on? I really did not see a point to it and threw it out. It is probably part of the manufacturing process.
What a pain, just finished taking out, new part tomorrow, perfect tip on the 10 mm with tape. Was using 8mm for 30 min FML.
Bruh thanks for the instructions, took me about 3 hrs but finally got it off. That last bolt is a mugg! Putting it back together tomorrow!
O cool. Thanks for watching. Please remember to thumbs up the video and subscribe to the channel, thanks
Thanks so much. Just finished it today. That bolt is even harder to put back than it is to take out. Subscribed.
Thanks for watching and subbing my friend..Depending on if I re use the bracket, I just started using one of the 5/16 bolt heads that came out of the bracket..Same treads and can get a 5/16 swivel socket on there much easier but glad you got er done
@@OnlineMechanicTips Good idea. I bet it's much easier than getting a 10mm socket in there.
@@barryomahony4983 yes it it because its smaller..I hate I forgot to squueze this info into this video..I have another one to do thursday so I prolly do an updated video and mention that. Because I dont think to many people re-installing that bracket..lol
@@OnlineMechanicTips Glad I read these comments...trying to get that 10mm back in I dropped it somewhere. I love the idea of using the 8mm - that's a royal pain to get back in...and the silicone - definitely doing that too.
Thanks for the tip about the 10mm swivel socket. You made the job on my girls Fiat 500 much easier.
thanks for watching, please like the video and subscribe to the channel, thanks
Entertainment and mechanics 😆😆thank you for taking your time to teach it..dang you had to practically take the whole car apart for one little piece.
What up PK? thanks for watching.
Awsome video man. Way better than jacking the motor up. I found taking the throttle body out the way gives you more room to reach that last bolt but if u can do it without,more power to you. Saves u a penny .
Yes, remove out of your way whatever makes to feel good about doing the job. My very first 1 I had a lot of things out the way..lol..Thanks for wtaching bud, please thumbs up the video and subscribe to the channel since you own a 2,4. Thanks
Great work as always JT. !
Thank you for a great video really helpful I went through this what a job
Best video ever, didn't put that bracket back , honestly it's hold that throttle body.But that throttle body is light as a feather.
lol, I see those brackets laying all over the shop...lol...you da man...please sub the channel for me, thanks
Awesome hack on taping the swivel socket! Thanks D
Thanks for watching, please subscribe to the channel, thanks
This helped me a lot yesterday thank you!
My man, thanks for watching. Remember to thumbs up the video. Also please subscribe to the channel, thanks
Great video, detailed and clearly explained! Question, did the wire pop out of the connector? I could not see it clearly, and if it did, how hard was it to replace that connector being in such a horrible location? That was a wicked job, thanks for the video. Semper Fi, USMC.
Love the enthusiasm! Thank you.
The best video on this matter...thanks man..you rock
thanks bud...please subscribe
Just perfect man clear and simple
Very helpful and to the point. Thanks
Thank you, thank you, thank you. This helps soooo much. I have a 2015 jeep cherokee latitude.
You are hilarious. I don't work on domestics/germans for a reason. This was a reminder of why. I'm subscribing anyway.
lol, Thanks bud...They not that bad after you've done a few.
Thanks A Lot. Very detailed
Did on my 2015 dart. That bottom bolt kills!! Bad thing is I'm not sure I got it tight enough...😪
6 hours later the job is done. Removing the bottom bolt and getting the hose clip back on are brutal! Luckily, I was able to squeeze my fingers under the thermostat to guide the socket onto the bolt for removal and line it back up for reassembly. For reassembly start with the hard bolt - I had to take out all the bolts and start again off because I couldn't get the lower bolt lined back up with the threads.
Thats whats up Lucas, glad you got er done. Thanks for watching. Please thumbs up the video and subscribe to the channel, thanks
Straight into it and straight out. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
Thanks for watching..Please like the video and subscribe to the channel, thanks
Another fantastic video, you are like ChrisFix if he worked at a Chrysler dealership.
lol, see now you made me go look up this Chris Fix, that guy a beast...thanks buddy
JT Automotive Rideshare Guru You’re welcome big bro, you are a beast too!
My girl just got a Cherokee and his videos have been great
excelente explicación agradecido con este tutorial los felicito me sirvió para resolver este problema
Thanks for watching, please like the video and subscribe to the channel, thanks
Nice Job. Like it, no frills. Only thing is to have a clock on the camera so that some lay person can figure out roughly how much time it should take me to do the job. If it's gonna take me five hours not including clean up to install a 13 dollar part (I only bought the thermostat - not the housing). I might just get the experts to do it. But the way you did it looks easy enough... I'll give it a try. Thanks !
Nice video! Do you have any experience with grinding when braking from the front of a 2016 Jeep Cherokee? I replaced brakes and rotors and wheel bearing but still makes a grinding noise only when braking from the front. Not all the time, it’s front wheel drive as well
Awesome job thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching bud, please like the video and subscribe to the channel for me, thanks
Thank you very much sir!! Very helpful!!
Thanks for watching my friend. Remember to thumbs up the vid for me, thanks
what size and kind of tools you use for the last polt
I'm doing it rn , great advice but fml , that damn corner bolt is hard asf
Really appreciate this vid man.
Thanks for tuning in Scott. Remember to thumbs up the video and subscribe for me. Thanks
Thank you sir this is perfect
Thanks for the video!!! This the main one I used to change mine on a 2017 Jeep Renegade. I watched another video where the guy removed the battery instead of the pump. This was easier, battery looked more of a hassle. The difference on mine was the hard bolt. Swivel didn't work for me. I had to use a straight extension, about 8 inches I'm guessing. Also the crazy thing on mine was the upper left an lower right were the 10mm bolts and the other 2 were the the 8mm bolts. If you read this, can you answer this - what kind pump is it that is removed - what does it pump? Thanks!
Hey bud, that is a brake booster assist pump. It gives power assist to your braking system. This means you use less work to press down on the brake pedal. A lot of the newer cars still a vacuum hose that come off the booster to assist but the slowly moving to this style. Thanks for watching bud.
Great job sir!
Thanks for watching bud. Remember to thumbs up the video for me, thanks
So glad my 2.4 pt turbo was not that bad
Lol..yea the thermostats on the PT's much easier than this..
Best instructional video ever
Thanks for tuning in
Here's a few extra tips: use a mirror for the 10mm socket on the bottom if you have a small enough one so you can see where the bolt is at! Also, if you lose the small metal clip like I did, you can use a hose clamp instead of replacing that clip, it works just the same.
I was able to find the replacement clip for the back hose if anyone loses it. Message me and I'll figure out a way to send you a picture since some people had a hard time replacing it/finding it
Yeah the mirror was awesome to see if you're on the bolt - like doing laparoscopic surgery. (probably)
@@ResidentStranger it's a game changer haha
How did you get bottom right bolt out of the thermostat? I can do it but the hose directly below the thermostat is covering the bolt and the hose won’t even budge to move it to gain access to the last bolt (bottom right bolt) the bolt you took off after taping the socket to the wrench..you said it was the hardest part but it’s actually impossible 😆
Awesome thank you
Cooll video bro very well detailed
Thanks for watching my friend, and remember to thumbs up the vids and subscribe to the channel, thanks
Doing mine today. sadly I have no access to a swivel. Have to take out my throttle body and there is a bracket attached to the throttle body that is being a PAIN
Great commentary
Does the vacuum pump need a sealant again or does go back bare? Putting everything back together. Thanks for the vid.
I tend to use the same setup, but make sure the oring in place. Also make sure and thumbs up the video and subscribe to the channel for me, thanks
Great video! Can you just unplug and re-plug the PCM without any issues or programming? I know the battery needs to be disconnected before touching the PCM.
Yes, will be fine
I got the bottom right bolt out using a nutdriver with some pliers to turn the handle of the nutdriver. The shaft was skinny enough to fit between those two nipples. I tried with 1/4 extensions and swivel but had a hard time
O cool, thats whats up. Glad you got er done. Thanks for watching, please thumbs up the video and subscribe to the channel, thanks
I did the same.
2017 jeep Cherokee latitude still getting hot after thermostat repacement.also were are the sensers location for the fan
Hey bud, did you ever get this fixed? I have a 2017 Cherokee Latitude. O and please thumbs up the video and subscribe to the channel, thanks.
I'm gonna write out each part you take out or off, write the name of each bolt or nut etc on Ziploc bags. Then I'll write the number of that step from your instructions on the Ziploc bag too. I was really afraid that I'd forget a step or lose a nut or bolt or something. There's like 20 things you disconnect but I got a game plan now. I can do this. I also ordered all 3 parts: housing and 2 thermostats including gasket, new on eBay for less than $50. Just fyi
I also liked and subscribed!!! Wrote out all the steps. Just waiting for sunny weather on a day off. Wish me luck. :) tku again
Good and useful video.
Thanks for watching buddy, please thumbs up the video and subcribe for me, thanks
GOOD JOB MAN
Thanks for watching Clark. Sure hope you smashed that like button and subbed the channel for me, thanks
Just a chemist security advice.
The coolant contains ethylene glycol and degrated compounds.
You should use gloves because ethylene glycol is really hygroscopic (sucks water off things) and can be harsh on your skin.
Nice video otherwise :)
Great video! How much fluid did you drain from the radiator before starting? Just below the level of the thermostat?
Also, are you using a 1/4 flex socket 10mm? I tried with a 1/2 10mm and doesn’t seem to be able to fit.
@@petescorner1543 I used a 1/4. Thinner and easier to squeeze in onto the bottom right bolt.
I would suggest showing some of the install process
I been getting that a lot. I have a video im editing showing the installation. Thanks for watching, are you subscribed to the channel?
Fantastic video! Thank you! I would almost rather pay you to do it instead of doing it myself. My sausage fingers will have a terrible time with that bottom right bolt. Thanks again!
Lol..thanks for watching bud..please remember to thumbs up the video and subscribe to the channel ..thanks
I did not reinstall the black bracket. It just seemed in the way.
Great enthusiasm!
Thanks for watching bud
Thanks for the love brother. I cannot find your video on draining the coolant on the Promaster City. Also is it absolutely necessary to have those bent nose pliers?
thanks 😊
I just attempted to do this! bottom right bolt is giving me a hard time I'm using swivel and 10mm socket but it's not fitting does it have to be a swivel head socket
Yes, thats what I always use. Tight fit but once you get it on there you good. Also are you subscribed to the channel?
You’re the man your alright
Good job
Thanks
My man off topic 2018 Pacifica 3rd Gen does that have a coolant bleeder screw for air bleeding at the thermostat or anywhere ?
May 8, 2024
Just use a flexable socket extension
Do you need to replace the vacuum pump seal??
If appears flat and leaking, I would. I have yet to see one leaking while replacing the thermostat. Thanks for watching. I hope you thumbs up the video and subscribe to the channel, thanks
Crappy engineering, all that work just to replace the thermostat. What a BS. Thank you for the video sir!
Good video! But it looks like a pain in the butt I don't wanna do it 🤣
Thats because it is. But thanks for watching, please thumbs up the video and subscribe to the channel for me, thanks
The price to have it done professionally is £400. If you have more money than you know what to do with it or more money than sense, pay the amount. The thermostat housing, itself, only costs £34. It only took wm 2 hours 40 minutes and I am nothing but a glorified chimpanzee, mentally.
Good stuff
Thanks for watching bud, please thumbs up the video and subscribe to the channel, thanks
I got everything done but I’m stuck on the last bolt of the thermostat the water hose on the bottle is completely stopping me from reaching the bolt the hose it solid in place no way to move it any suggestions
Dang man, its hard for me to say without seeing what you talking about..im sorry, I can't remember how I handled that part. I tried to film what I did straight foward
