Thanks for your approach, kept it simple and straight forward, easy to follow instructions without trying to dress it up with technical terms, keeping it real - really helped me out!
Thanks for making the vid! It helped a lot. There's a socket that is used for this job. I didn't have a crows foot and nobody in this hemisphere had the socket so I bought one at Sears and modified it.
If you replaced everything then it has to be a bad fan clutch. Its common hummer h3. Had to replace everything radiator, thermostat, sensor and finally fan clutch. I replace the water pump about 3 years but i would advise to replace the fan clutch while you're at it since you have to remove it anyway. They have a tendency to go bad which can damage your radiator, thermostat and sensor ( which is what happened to me).
Thanks. My 06 colorado dies on a cold start when its 40°F or less. I've heard unplugging the sensor tricks the truck into thinking its -40° but Idk about all that shit. Id rather replace. Thanks guy
What was the reason u replaced all that? Only asking cause I have a 06 h3 and my temp gauge goes up 3\4 of the way until I start driving again then it goes back down. Just wondering if you experienced anything similar
I have a 06 colorado 5cil. It was heating up like yours and I replacd thermostat, radiator, fan clutch(put on a severe duty one) and the water pump, qnd it fixed nothing untill I took out the thermostat and broke it and now it runs cook but the gauge dances up and down sometimes , so im gonna replace the swnsor and if it keeps going crazy ima hace to do the heads
How did you tighten it back on? I bought a similar crowfoot socket/wrench, but it was too thick to do any good. I ended up cutting the old one and using a deepwell socket to get it out. The problem I'm having right now is getting the new one tighter than hand-tight. Any suggestions?
Trying to change coolant temp sensor on 2012 Chevy Colorado. Have proper tool good socket but it will not give any. I am afraid to break. Is this put on with Locktie. Any suggestions? It is really hard.
No that's how I removed it with that socket. Another way is buy a cheap 15 m m socket and cut it in the middle make it look like the oxygen sensor socket to removed it.

Short and to the point. Thank you. By the way I’ve always called the tool a crows foot. Thank you!
Man . Thanks..wish every one showed it like that
What fixed my sons Colorado was the thermostat replacement. That damn thermostat and housing fixed it.

Thank You Big Time!!!!

No I did not drain the coolant just a little coolant came out when I removed the sensor. just put a pan under the sensor
having the same problem on my 08 h3.
a/c light onn,
Do I replace everything ,sensor ,clutch and thermostat? plz advice.
My temp sensor doesn’t move from cold… do you think this is the reason ? It’s a colorado 3.5
Thermostat
Did you ever get the dreaded "A.C. Off" message in the DIC? I understand that a bad coolant temperature sensor can cause that message.
I changed the thermostat without taking off the tire
karl22 how so
if my gauge just stopped reading, do I have to change that sensor?
It would of been better if you actually show how you did it ☺️
Heat shield on in rhe way can get back in
Can't see the video correct
