My worst concern would be removing the freeze plug. Another question is just to eliminate the heat exchanger all together and run hoses straight from AT to the cooler in the front?
Great information BUT I almost left the video due to the repetitive music cycling over and over like a tortuous assault on my brain. The music doesn’t add to the content and no one listens to how to videos for the music content. After watching your video, I think I can do this too! From another veteran, thanks for your service.
good video, best informative video I've seen on youtube so far. Everyone just wants to talk about the install instead of showing how they did it. Thx for not making your channel not about you, but what you do!
i dont mean to be so off topic but does anybody know of a way to get back into an Instagram account? I somehow forgot my account password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me
@Ahmir Mason I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
My bypass is being delivered today. I have 2 pyrometers front 3 and back 3. When towing I see higher and higher temps on the back 3 when the pull is longer or harder. also seeing higher overall engine temps, which I think this will help. Can't wait to see how much.
i'm running a 180F thermostat. I hope it averages out the cooling, I plugged the hose with a bolt on the drivers side and installed the clamp. Same effect.
Yes sir. By far the most work detailed video on this fleece kit! I’d give it two thumbs up if I could!!!! It was nice to see you take the time to figure out how to set the camera up at the best angles to show exactly what was going on!!
Sorry. Military Service, I support all Military people so I just subscribed to your channel to support you. So again thank you for your service. Which Branch are you part of? Army, Navy,Air Force or Marines. God bless your and your family.
Thank you for your service Sir and the time you spent making this informative video! Definitely considering attempting this upgrade. Stay safe and healthy!
I did this at the end of summer last year in about 2 and 1/2 hours with my G56 still in place! You just need 5 ft. Long arms and to be able to see thru metal! I used my scope which helped a lot but it was a lot easier than I thought it was gonna be after hearing all the stories online! But truck runs well under 200* while towing so totally worth it! I did use a air chiseled very carefully for a few sacks to start the freeze plug but like i said I was looking at it there my scope! Also cut a cheap Home Depot hammer off just big enough to grab with one hand which was a game changer!
I’d say no because I hear people saying it would run to cool, and cause what they call washing the cylinder. It would just be an open loop to the radiator and never come up to temp. Don’t quote me on the washing the cylinder thing. I just know you want some type of heat in the engine
I'm doing this soon on my rebuild, but I'm not buying into the "it's not needed" thing that Fleece puts out about the Heat Exchanger. Everywhere I look, the people who think it wasn't "needed" end up coming back complaining about how the transmission runs like crap after pulling it out. It's not there for extreme cold. It's there to warm the fluid up so you can have normal shifts sooner, and more importantly, so you don't shred the clutch packs out when it's hot. It's listed as "transmission cooler" not "warmer" in the FSM. Let us know how it helped you out with the temps though. I've heard from V-Belt & Son that it just slows down how quickly the motor builds heat on long pulls. Even running a 6.7 in an empty school bus myself -- the thing went over 230 degrees when it was 60 degrees outside (F)... SO yeah, definitely think it's needed.
Thanks for the comment. I have never seen the TFT hit 180 degrees yet… thats towing 3 atvs or 16ft boat at 80 degrees outside max. High 170s going uphill. The transmission is a weak link when you start adding ho and increasing line pressure. It will break and cause bigger issues.
Hey guy thank you for all your service to our country you’re in your tutorial on that bypass was really good I’m thinking about doing something like that with my old 91 Dodge but I’m gonna get another piece to my thermostat and all that goes to the part where the radiator hose hooks onto an experiment on putting a bang there so a guy can hook a hose up to that and anyhow yeah yeah they won’t make that stuff for us first GEN guys are they hate us don’t know why but they do anyway a thank you again and again thank you for your service to our country
Thermostats can last for over 100k miles . I’d just keep up with the coolant flushes to keep the system clean and replace it whenever you replace the stock location one. Fleece sells a service kit for it. Thanks for watching!
@@j.j.sgarage1457 thanks a lot JJ I purchase a single line kit that deletes the heat exchanger but you did put some good information in here so gave me some ideas thank you again
I have been looking at doing this on my 2001. Has it helped any with towing in hot temps? As others have said nice that you showed how to actually do the work.
The kit includes the coolant hose to bypass the heat exchanger also?
Dude thank you your video is super helpful. 👍👍

Good instructions but get rid of the music,hard to understand what you are saying
What size of socket did you use for the fitting on the driver side of the block?

Thanks so much, you saved my ass !
Awesome close up shots! Thank you!

Did it helped bro? Mines towing hard goes up to 215 or 220 but my fan clutch is deleted but wannna do the bypass and put radiator with fans
i'm running a 180F thermostat. I hope it averages out the cooling, I plugged the hose with a bolt on the drivers side and installed the clamp. Same effect.
First off thank you for your service! Secondly thank you for this video! Well documented.
Yes sir. By far the most work detailed video on this fleece kit! I’d give it two thumbs up if I could!!!! It was nice to see you take the time to figure out how to set the camera up at the best angles to show exactly what was going on!!
Thanks man. I do what I can to help out!
Love it. Real install video 💪🏽
You are a magic man !! I'm serious not Joking . You did an amazing job doing this with the transmission still in the truck ....
appreciate it!
@@j.j.sgarage1457 I installed my Fleece Bypass Bro take a look th-cam.com/video/TRTou0rZfBE/w-d-xo.html also did freeze plugs and Compound turbos !!
Well done and much appreciated
Thanks!
Only use fail Safe thermostat when they break they break in the open position and you can keep on trucking and regular thermostat breaks closed
Hello JJ, I just watched you install the fleece coolant bypass. Good job.
And also and thank you for your Mi. Service

Very helpful video but the music is irritating!
How does the coolant get "trapped"? It can't circulate the same way it got there?
Impressive
Is that bypass a pressure activated or thermostat activated unit?
I did this at the end of summer last year in about 2 and 1/2 hours with my G56 still in place! You just need 5 ft. Long arms and to be able to see thru metal! I used my scope which helped a lot but it was a lot easier than I thought it was gonna be after hearing all the stories online! But truck runs well under 200* while towing so totally worth it!

How did u remove the 10mm nut on the hose bracket to remove the hose?
i have to do this soon, looks like an endoscope and a devincy robot would be handy here.
Wonder if you can run this without the thermostat?
I’d say no because I hear people saying it would run to cool, and cause what they call washing the cylinder. It would just be an open loop to the radiator and never come up to temp. Don’t quote me on the washing the cylinder thing. I just know you want some type of heat in the engine
@@aaronstewart8898 Appreciate Aaron, I called Fleece and they point blank said no.
Is this to help with rear cylinder cooling?
Yes
Does the brand really matters anyone ?

I appreciate the amount of detail you put into this video, how long did everything take to do?
Great video! I have one in order definitely feel more confident installing it now!
You got this!
When that rear thermostat fails tho....
Did you remove the bracket that holds the motor to the transmission to get to the freeze plug ?
I did not.
You did really good......looking at doing this mod...
Thanks man!

Thank you for your support!!! Good Luck with your project. I love 1st gens!
great video install.... is this easier if i took transmission out ? a bit more room is needed...
Awesome video, Ive been thinking about doing this on my 06 2500.
Thanks man!
Wish someone could help a disabled vet do my truck I have a 04 3500 dually I need help with. Appreciate video
Hello JJ how often you have to change that back thermostat. Good video

Great video man what would you say total install time was?
Hard to say since I was recording. I'm gonna say 2-3 hours max with the right tools.
Thank you for this!! 👍🏽👍🏽
Any time!

@@j.j.sgarage1457 JJ fuentes found it. Just followed.
Great video man. Thanks for showing all the details and such. Did you see any difference in the trans temps after bypassing the heater brick?
Yes cooler temps overall. Thanks for watching!
