BRO YOU USED THE MAGNET TRICK, LOVE IT. Also VERY VERY SMART TO TAKE THE HOUSING OFF WITH THE HOSE STILL ATTACHED ON THE THERMO. SIDE. GREAT FIX BC. AS USUAL, LOVE THOSE VALVE COVERS, NICE.
Very good video and description of parts used. I love the idea of leaving the hose on the metal housing makes the job a lot easier. Keep up the great work !
You are really good at every video you post, you have no idea how helpful these are. I have been following you for a while. Thanks very much. I replied to you in a separate video where you replaced the water pump. I also have a 1997 Jeep GC 5.2L. I have had issues with thermostat housing gasket leaks for a while. I noticed you did not use RTV sealant. I am going to give that a try, may be that is the issue.
Thank you. I always put the gasket on bone dry but it is a good ideo to use a little rtv to paste it to the thermostat housing so it doesnt move around on you when you lower it into position. I just didnt have that for this video but Ive never had it leak. I did have Coolant leaking from where the hose connects to the thermostat housing which made it look like a gasket leak but no matter how tight I made the clamp it still leaked, so I pulled it back out and wrapped some self fusing silicone tape where the hose meets the thermostat housing and then tightened the clamp over top of that and its been leak free ever since.

dude been watching alot of your videos on working on my jeep. thanks for being so informative and going slow. everything i have changed has been helped by you except the whole radiator i used a repair manual
Great video! I’m about tired of fixing my 96 Jeep Grand Cherokee! It has a blown head gasket and I came to video to see how to take out the thermostat so I could use some of that head gasket sealer. I think I’ll just sell it though .
Hahaha! Finally, I did this before you! When I got my ZJ I had a small leak in one of the hoses so i replaced both! I replaced the thermostat also. I was super upset that there was that crappy green trash coolant in my engine. Got the proper gold coolant, but not OEM I used Zerex concentrate with distilled water. Factory thermostat was 210° wasn't it? I replaced with 210° i almost feel like I should've used a 180° that they tried giving me. It was a pain in the ass getting those bolts back into the thermostat housing and even worse trying to get a new hose clamp on the lower hose going to the radiator! Great video tho bro!
I'm not even into cars or car repair but im still oddly captivated by these repair videos. Just well made videos i guess! Keep it up man, you make some good content.
My ZJ is having some overheating issues and I’m thinking its the thermostat after I wrapped the injectors and rail and used a heat shield. Thank you for the helpful video!
cant imagine the 5 thumbs down, having cut my teeth wrenching from manuals before utoob, seeing this and knowing socket sizes before u even pop the hood, it's priceless !!! keep up the excellent work
Hello, I have a 96 ZJ. I replaced the water pump, upper hose, bypass hose, and thermostat. While removing the water pump I damaged the metal hose/pipe that goes into the water pump heater hose or whatever I got the old one out and have the new one, do you have any suggestions to reinstall the new one Aside from removing the clutch fan? Thank you Everything else is still back together
Did you experience any leaks right after I change just the way you did and mine is leaking from the back side of the flange I’m baffled I’ve already replaced the gasket twice !?!?
Question. On the inner end of the hose where it connects to the thermostat housing mine don't have that metal strap thing that you can tighten down it's just got this weird metal ring thing with two metal tabs sticking out, there is some play in the tabs if I try to pry it loose with a screwdriver but the thing won't budge.
Yeah that’s a old school factory clamp you need a special tool get they off of just cut the helll at it till it comes off then replace with a new school hose clamp

I just recently picked up a 96 ZJ 5.2 and I gotta say, your videos have been extremely helpful for a variety of things
Yes I completely agree
I didn't know they make little magnets like this. I learn a lot from watching your videos bro.
And they are only like $8 for 50 so I left a link in the description where I ordered them from
The magnets are clever, ingenious idea.
Well done. Clear instructions, and helpful tips. Even as an experienced mechanic I learned something new. Kudos.
Just like to say, I have a 94', and your videos have been a Godsend. Thanks a ton for being detailed and straight to the point....

Really enjoyed this video. Thank you for being a decent human and putting the parts list in your video. Well done!
Your videos are awesome, thank you so much, very detailed and knowledgeable, also watched and used your water pump replacement appreciate you sir🙏
your video on the transfer case fluid was awesome by the way
Thanks for your help. I feel pretty lucky to have a channel like yours with all your videos and I have the exact same car.
That really isn't fair man, you make that job look way to damn easy. Great video as usual.
all his videos look like a piece of cake.
Bro, I can definitely give you a thumbs up on explaining and showing this installation of the thermostat. Keep up the good work.
Great video! I’m about tired of fixing my 96 Jeep Grand Cherokee! It has a blown head gasket and I came to video to see how to take out the thermostat so I could use some of that head gasket sealer. I think I’ll just sell it though .
Nice one using the magnets !!!!!

Nice videos!!!

Don't you need to apply red silicone to the gasket both sides?
Slick job! Is your AC compressor not being used? I think mine is good and it just needs a recharge it blow cool not cold.

Good job, thank you so much!
Do you have to flush the coolant out first before you remove hose and thermostat
I dont
BARRICADE GARAGE I just thought the coolant might come out once you take the hose thing off
@@AlecDaStar I just pull it and let it drain in a pan. When you said flush radiator im thinking an actal coolant system flush
That’s the 318 right?? Someone was trying to tell me it was at the bottom 😔
Nice job
Any idea where I can get those bolts got the housing? Mine are gone... sizes and details needed
Did you experience any leaks right after I change just the way you did and mine is leaking from the back side of the flange I’m baffled I’ve already replaced the gasket twice !?!?
Well made video. Thank you,
One of my bolts doesn’t go all the way down. Any ideas?
How do I get access to transmission cooling line so I can tighten clamp and fitting going into radiator. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

What brand of air filter set up
No sealant ? Just paper gasket ?
👍👍👍
Transmission cooling line leak after replacing bottom fitting on radiator
Changed the thermostat in my 5.9 and it's still overheating what could be my problem?
Cracked head, head gaskets
Probably your radiator
Bro, right on time, again. Your videos are great.
Thank you
I I I I I....want the kniiiiife.......PLEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAASE! 🙏 😂
