You can buy the whole housing with thermostat in it too.
And I thought you only filled up the tank on top?
@ EssMotorsports did you get any "check engine” light on when you turn on the engine during winter ?
No, the 180 thermostat was warm enough that it never threw any codes related to the engine not coming up to temp.
I’m gonna change the whole assembly. It’s about 40 bucks more and you don’t have to worry about leaks.
Yeah I ended up going with a billet thermostat housing and 174 stat in a layer video
What would leak from to old housing?
Hey bro I filedl that bottom tank I ended up going A little over maybe like a inch and a 1/2 past the fill line is that OK?
Yeah it will just puke out onto the floor if it fills up too much.
@@EssMotorsports how will it come out? It's only over the line about 1" 1/2 it won't hurt it will it?
Probably out the cap. Should be fine as you will probably have to add some more anyway once it sucks some coolant in
Why did you add water before refilling the coolant?
The coolant i have is concentrated so u need to mix it 50/50 with water. A more precise way would be to measure it out in a separate container with equal parts water and coolant. I always buy the concentrated because its cheaper.
How did know you needed to change your thermostat? Did your temp gauge read zero?
No, I change thermostat to a colder rating. It was working fine when removed.
Mines is doing that. Seen on the forum that dexol coolant leaves a coating or residue on it causing it not to work properly. Change that and the sensor and you should be good.
What is the normal thermostat from the factory rated at? Is it a 195?
Yeah 194 I believe.
Whats the purpose of the 180 over stock? Also how much coolant was lost when you removed the housing?
Keeps engine cooler making it less prone to detonation and having the ecu remove timing.
@@EssMotorsports My eng. never runs or detonates with the stock one.
@matrox I bet it does u just don't know it. These lt1 engines with high compression are very detonation prone. Computer retards timing all the time in the background if your logging data
Did it make a screeching sound?
Screeching sound comes from fluid getting on the belts. Try to wash it off as much as you can
Does this process work for the 2019 V6 convertible
I honestly don't know if the part number for the v6 is the same as the v8. I would think regardless the aftermarket would have a lower temp thermostat for the v6.
@@EssMotorsports nice but I can't find the location of the thermostat in the 2019 I guess these gen6 are not all the same underneath
@@anthonyharris2231 yes the cooling system is definitely different configuration.
@@EssMotorsports yeah I found it, directly under the cold air intake and not adjacent like yours. Just my luck, still a DIY for me. I'm 500 miles out of warranty smh.
Do you have have to tune this thermostat?
No u should not have too. But... to get the most out of it a tune with adjusted fan on Temps would keep Temps down in town when airflow is lower.
How you like this thermostat? I just ordered one
Working good so far! I can now see with HP Tuners the exact temp and it goes right to just over 180 and my fans come on slowly and stays there
@@EssMotorsports how do you fill the reservoir and do you have to?
There's two caps. The big one and then the really small one behind it. Fill the big one full and fill the small cap which is the overflow half full. The next couple runs after the car is cool check levels.
@@EssMotorsports wow I didn't even know that lol thanks bro!!
fyi, that thermostat gasket will fail, it happen to me
Is there a different brand you found and recommend in a 180 degree?
@@EssMotorsports sorry for the late response, i end up using a stock thermostat housing with the 170* bulb.
Would this make the engine fans turn on
Only if the thermostat fails open or closed
Nice bro thanks , does it require a tune , in my behalf a revision on my tune ??
Not worth paying for a retune in my opinion. Will still help keep car slightly cooler. If u ever do get retuned they can lower fan temps.
What kind of ratchet is that 1/4
The electric one is milwaukee 12v 3/8 drive brushless. U use it all the time. Super handy
@@EssMotorsports thank you
Thermostat and sensor Replacement cost roughly $1,100. Extortion at its finest
A dealer just looks at your car for 2 sec and says give 100 bucks!
I paid 28 for the coolant temperature sensor and 112 for the Thermostat Assembly. Took me about 30 minutes to install each one. 1100 bucks is ridiculous.
Dealer charging me $1600 for Thermostat & Housing replacement. Is that the norm. 2017 camaro rs 3.6L
I don't know where the thermostat is on the v6 but that seems excessive.
@@EssMotorsports intake has to come off, 5.5 hours labor
@Conductor John, MTH trains well if your just replacing for an upgrade to a colder one, it's not worth it for you as far as performance is concerned
@@EssMotorsports no! It's leaking, replacing bad part. Nothing to do with performance, Thermostat code on dash diagnoses. It's in the dealer shop getting replaced
Ugh... dealers...
