Thanks for the video. Everything I needed to know and see to get this done on our 2007 Saturn Outlook. I replaced the entire thermostat housing since it did not cost much more to buy a whole new factory-identical AC Delco unit with gasket and bolts. Only issue I had was getting a torque wrench on the lowest 10mm housing bolt, but I winged it and figure it should be fine as those three mounting bolts are inch pounds, not foot pounds. Anyways, appreciate this very much. Saved me $600.

💯💯QUICK NOTE EVERYONE, REPLACE THE WHOLE THING , THE AFTERMARKET THERMASTATS BY THEMSELVES IS MISSING A RUBBER RING LIKE THE ORIGINAL HAS, I REPLACED 3 TIMES B4 THEY CAME OUT WITH THE WHOLE HOUSING UNIT WITH IT ATACHED, CAR WOULD ALWAYS RUN A LIL OVER HALF WAY MARK UNTILL I FIGURED IT OUT.......... MELTED HOSE CONECTORS IN PROCESS

Appreciate the video but you can't tell us one size bolt but you can tell us the pressure of how much torque to put back in bolts that's crazy man

[@jrsanti]

I paid $600 2 yrs ago to have it replaced for my 2014 gmc acadia

[@JW-ed5vc]

That's about right...local dealer in CA wanted the same for parts + labor.

[@askpatrick]

What the hell was the special tool you used to remove the thermostat from the housing and how could you just brush past that step?

[@8701Alexcamilo]

Thinking the same

[@askpatrick]

@@8701Alexcamilo so, I did the job the next day and, (for anyone interested) most of the aftermarket thermostats come with a little heavy duty toilet paper roll-type cardboard, which is the tools used to remove the thermostat. It's is basically any item used to depress the spring on both sides .

Change thermostat and housing together

[@notarapper2003]

@@angelbautista533 seeing all the comments asking how to get the actual thermostat out, seems like my time is worth the extra 60 lol. Plus you get a brand new housing out of it

[@dollabillzmusicgroup2091]

No mention of tools used or even bolt sizes. This guide is seriously lacking

[@user-qt3bo9cs6z]

If you can’t figure that out for yoself take it to a shop🤣🤣

[@michaelmartinez9602]

What are those pliers he used to compress the thermostat

[@ThatLazyMF]

@@user-qt3bo9cs6z maybe we’re trying to learn so we save 1600$? Ever think about that?

[@nickielevan5628]

So I went to oriellys they said I needed the whole housing. That you couldn't just change the thermostat

[@jefegarpez6505]

They lied to you

[@dockgee3745]

Napa auto parts has just the thermostat

[@JW-ed5vc]

The entire thermo

[@ronaldscott781]

Agree with the others who have replied to you. I am replacing my second thermostat on my 2011 Acadia (300kmes). Unless it is damaged there’s no reason to replace the housing assembly. I got mine from ADVANCED AUTO.

[@craigmoulden6862]

You show step by step but skip over how and what you do to actually remove the thermostat

[@Davids42240]

I’d like to point out that the floor mat over the battery cover did NOT start off the video with a greasy footprint 😂

[@Eastsidegeorgiaboy]

There was no/zero need to disconnect the battery for this at all. Save yourself some time, and skip that step.

[@tylermccain2120]

Cannot remove thermostat. Wtf Ate you Using

[@elijahcatano]

Me too do I need a special tool to remove thermostat

[@btelfer1592]

There's a cardboard cylinder that comes with the new thermostat, it is the tool to remove and install the thermostat to the housing

[@michaelmartinez9602]

Two screw drivers

[@JustinMentionedIt]

@@btelfer1592 how is the cardboard gonna remove it? I could see using it to install it pack in I guess but remove it?

[@brianlucas9671]

WTF? Just gonna skip over the whole if equipped heat shield?

[@dollabillzmusicgroup2091]

This is more of showing it getting done not really a how to.

[@JW-ed5vc]

Worked for me. Shows you everything you need to get it done.

[@darin6333]

Nah. Voice over ruined this video.

[@JW-ed5vc]

Disagree...it's a great clip and saved me $600
