Thank you man! Just did my gaskets. No more leaks!! I didn't even have to take off my fan. Just left it on same with the thermostat housing

[@johncano3839]

So sealants are not necessary for the gaskets then??

[@dylanchildress5040]

Great video, explains everything and really takes his time and has exact torque specs

[@FortyTwoAnswerToEverything]

excellent, needed to know if I had to use sealants on threads and messy gasket sealants too. Will be doing my 2003 Envoy 5.3 this weekend

Great walkthrough. I couldn't help but notice you didn't mention coolant volume specifications?

[@jeffwillis8055]

Great informative video, very helpful. Thanks!

[@yatusabes909]

@TRQ Also you mentioned the mounting bolt should not go into the cooling jacket but can you tell us why they shouldn’t? And what would cause them to go in the cooling jacket if they are not supposed to be able to? Thanks in advance for the Info Great Videos!

[@yatusabes909]

Are we supposed to burp the cooling system after dumping and replacing the coolant? Or is it as simple as fill to full level then reinstall cap and your done?

[@pervysage6969]

TRQ did Silverado dirty by picking out the rustiest one for the video 😂

[@EricJosephLewis]

Why do you have to take the thermostat housing off?

[@leroysalazar5429]

You didn't have to take off the tensioner pulley

[@VHBulls]

Should I use lock tight?

[@TRQ]

+Valley Heat Kennel Thanks for watching! No need to use lock tight for this repair.
