Hats off! This is by far the best video how to I have seen on TH-cam. Excellent editing and quality. 👍🏼
Thank you very much.
Update: So far the check engine light has stayed off. Car has been driven quite a bit. So thermostat housing for the fix. Thank you everyone for watching , please continue to share this with others.
Dude, I just want to say thank you for taking your time out to show others how to get this part done on a dodge dart. This is my first car, and I can't believe how hard it is to find a video or something to figure out how to fix a problem
Thank you very much
can't believe how complicated they make it to replace a simple thermostat , nicely done and documented ...👍
Tell me about it , thank you very much as always for the feedback.
You can say that shit again. 😂
@31:20 This video was a life-saver, THANKS! I was replacing the upper radiator hose and was watching that video which directed me to this one. That small line on the thermostat housing snapped on mine and thought I’d check this video on how to remove the clip and you explained that AND gave me a replacement part number. You saved the day! THANKS AGAIN!
Thank you very much for the feedback , this is what is all about , helping others out .
Thank you for this very detailed video. I found it looking for a repair, that stupid little plastic piece at the top of the thermostat snapped off and I lost my coolant while driving. Thankfully I shut the motor down in time and didn’t damage anything. I’m going to try the doorman part tomorrow and see what happens. Thank you again!
Thank you for taking the time to leave great feedback , glad this could help someone else out , with the broken connector.
The same thing happened to me. The DORMAN part (800-080 5/16" Steel to Nylon Fuel Line Connectors) with a small clamp worked great. Saved having to replace the entire hose assembly. That plastic connector on the overflow return line is the worst bit of engineering that I have seen. The entire cooling system can fail if a 5/16" plastic tube breaks. Why didn't they make this an aluminum part?
I’ve been trying to change my thermostat for like 3 hours now. Thank you for this video. Same engine and everything.
thank you for making a step by step video that's actually easy to understand, very helpful. i also had the overflow hose connecter easily break. the design of this car is a joke.
Thank you for the great feedback.
Great camera shots. Seriously. I hate watching videos where the guys explaining and the audience is either looking at the ceiling or its out if focus or too dark. Great video 👍🏼
Thank you for the excellent feedback.
I just got my mopar oem thermostat housing in the mail, also got the Dorman part 627-006 to replace that Tee!
Excellent time to tackle that also. Thank you for the great feedback.
Can that fitting handle too much heat on hot cooking ?
Thank you for this! And good call on the doorman fitting. I just finished this, the fitting was shot and that impossible bolt will come out with a short swivel socket. 2016 dart gt 2.4
Great tip on the swivel , thank you for sharing and thanks for the great feedback.
Thank you! This helped me a lot today.
Just tried this myself and the last bolt that he mentions is the hardest one to remove. If you don't have a slim extension or something small like he does you will struggle. There is a T hose that comes up right next to the bolt making it hard to remove with a regular extension. That doorman part number he purchased was clutch my hose broke off after I gave it a little tug
Great tips , thank you for the great feedback.
Thanks i didn't know what part this was on my car i know now
Thanks for good quality video and step by step instructions. Nice!
Thank you for the feedback , much appreciated.
The parts list is awesome thank you! Btw is there also a list of tools necessary? Just to know before getting into it . Thanks in advance
I would recommend a heat gun , good pair of pliers , 1/4 extension with swivel , trim tool , drain pan , ramps , other than that just a few sockets etc. Thank you for the question.
39:27 The metal piece with hose.. can you tell me what part that is right under the plug you were attaching? I replaced my upper radiator hose because it was spraying. Only to find there was a leak in that as well…
Wow….. your video is very helpful
thanks!
Thank you so much.
Thank you, I just completed my installation
Great job , and thank you for the feedback.
Great video. Can the thermostat be removed from inside the housing to have it free flowing? Im trying to do a flush and want the thermostat out.
Yes , it should. Thanks for the feedback.
I got a Dodge Dart 215 SXT 2.4L. Check engine light doesn't light up for the thermostat, but lately the temperature gauge goes up past the middle and just bounces up and down when I accelerate and stop for a red light.
I gotta turn the A/C for the gauge to go down.
Does the AGS (Active Grill Shutters) system makes this fluctuation?
Bought the car about a year ago and temperature gauge never passed 1/4.
Should I replace the thermostat?
It may be a fan issue. Hope this helps.
Could that connector handle the heat from hot cooling ? Because that connector is for fuel line
It will and probably better than the oem. Time will ultimately tell how long it will last but , it is still working perfectly with no leaks to date. These modern engines run hot and I am actually surprised the plastic parts hold as long as they do. Thanks for the question.
Good video bro. Im gonna use this video to help me take my thermostat out and run a bottle of blue devil through it. This is the second head gasket i blew. I just need this car to last long enough to get another one. Thought's?
140,000 miles btw
Sure won't hurt anything. I have never used it myself. Not sure if that stuff clogs the radiator or heater core , but I would most definitely by pass the heater core until I see how it runs. Thanks for the feedback.
more dart videos please!
Will do , thanks for watching.
Thank you for all of your help pretty much knew what needed to be done but there was a few things i had to go back on the video to reference on. Oh and fuck dodge for the bottom right bolt on my 2015 dodge dart that bolt was so hard to get to. Then to top it all off i lost my 10mm somewhere in the engine bay right after i tightened that same bolt.
Side Note:
i didnt have to removed throttle body or that bracket but i think its just because i have smaller hands then you lol
also i just took off i think EGR to get to that small hose on the top to get to the clip better used a pick on the back side and pushed it then used a flat head to unclip it didnt brake or nothing
Excellent , thank you for taking the time to share.
It gave me 4_5 codes when I was done replacing the thermostat 😭
Yo what'd u end up doing, same thing jus happened to me. p2122 low, p0123, p2122 high, c0300
Was fine before only code was the one for the thermostat before I did this so I assume I must've hooked up something incorrectly but I cant figure it out.
its annoying that dodge didn't add those screw removable clamps. they've cut so many corners in this car. sad.
Agreed , I have never been a fan of these one time usage clamps. Thank you for the feedback.
Please help I cannot get past the 2:00 mark because I cannot find the location of the drain. Please help.
Under the car, in the area you will be working on
P0128 code on my mother-in-law’s car 2015 2.4 sxt rallye. Definitely going to do hers for her.
Glad this video could help . Thank you for the feedback.
Thank you
Thank you for the feedback , much appreciated.
I can show you how to fix anything on a dart with some gas and matches.
Love this comment , I am sure anyone that has worked on a few can relate. Thank you for the visit.
When I go to Amazon and try to purchase the thermostat it says not compatible for 2013 dodge dart..
Ignore their compatibility chart , it will fit . Same design for 2.4l and 2.0l. Been using this thermostat for the past 4 months and it has been great , I have also used this brand in the past with no issues. Thank you for the feedback.
Anyone run into the issue of “engine temperature too high” and won’t start? I mean, I let the car sit over night and start it and quickly get the too high alert. Would this be cause of closed thermostat?
Yes , or coolant sensor. Thanks for the question.
👍👍🙂
Thank you , appreciate the feedback.
