Your video is very helpful in technique and hose fitting fails. Things to be aware of happening. Thanks.

A kid I liked that it made great sense, but I found a more economical way. The same concept

Another great video!
I’m not a normal “girl” since my father was an ex marine and/or wanted a boy. I know more about cars than any boyfriend I ever had. That includes my late husband, God rest his soul. We would bicker early in our marriage because he didn’t even know how to change the oil in our cars. I seriously thought all boys knew how to do that among another simple things.🥴

I’d say I’m pretty well versed in cars. I’ve even rebuilt my automatic transmission for my truck in my garage. After doing that I don’t think there is a repair I can’t do. Kinda the Mount Everest of auto work.

Aha

Since the engine temp sensor is on a line that goes to the heater core, would that be a cause for low engine temp reading? My temp guage never hit the middle of "normal" It only reaches about a quarter passed low even idling on a hot summer day. I am replacing the thermostat soon along with the thermostate cover that came on the 94 model. The 95 model has a cover with the temp sensor directly attached to the thermostat cover. Thinking that may give more accurate temp reading so my truck gets better fuel economy.

Ever had rusty coolant? My coolant at one point was replaced with two water and it corroded away the impeller blades on my water pump. Truck never overheated but didn’t have enough force to pump coolant into the heater core (and over the sensor).
