    I always drill a small hole in the top of a thermostat that's mounted vertically to allow the air to bleed through. In my experience getting the trapped air out of the top of the passage is nearly impossible.
    Love how you include Sasha and how interested she is in learning and working on her car. It's fun to watch the two of you together, very sweet.
    I learn a lot from your channel, you're a very good teacher. Thank you!

    I agree with you, I would only go back to high-school if I knew what I know now.

    Your HS question, I'd do it all over again the very same way, but more extreme.... I had so much fun.. It was the Late 70's after all..

    You can remove the right turn signal to get to the radiator petcock. It's easier than trying to get to it from the bottom.

    The only way I'd go back to high school is if I had another me that remembered everything and would slap me and tell me "Don't do that."

      Haha! Yep. That'd work

    The hole is an air bleed hole, helps the system balance out.
    Also as a FYI, any time you replace the water pump you should also replace the thermostat. And it's probably not a bad idea to do the viscous fan clutch too.
    Parts are cheap.

    Hey Dale,. Check this out man.
    I have watched your videos for several years now, and like a lot of other people I see, you often use RTV to coat gaskets when you are installing components.
    Now don't get me wrong I'm not knocking you. But in reality you shouldn't use RTV on gaskets because you are often shortening the life of the gasket , RTV is best used for places such as corner joints or wherever there is a gap that has a void and need to be filled,
    Most gasket companies and auto manufacturers recommend not to coat gaskets with anything when installing them.
    I have been working on stuff for forty years and I have had the the best results for a coating type gasket sealer. Using either
    Indian Head gasket shellac, or
    Aviation Form a Gasket.
    And they both also work very well on bolt threads and pipe joint threads.
    And they also work well for machines surfaces that do not use a gasket at all , to fill minor imperfections.
    Once again, I am not knocking you buddy,. I am just trying to inform you of something to make project go easier for you and make things last longer..
    Thank you for your videos.
    Tim from Wisconsin.

      Hey! No problem at all. I appreciate and am open to other ideas. I’ve followed instructions that state to use rtv on both gasket sides. From a few sources. I’ll have to look into what the gasket manufacturers recommend. Maybe I’ll have to change my ways. Thanks for the feedback. If there’s a better way to do things, I’m open to it. 👍

    Marty McFly you don't want to go back to the future just keep working on the DeLorean you'll get that flux capacitor working again I know you can do it. Spanner wrenches always work better on flux capacitors.

    I drill a 3/32 hole when they come with no hole

    • @JeepSolid

      Yeah. A lot of people like to do that

    Why did the original one have a hole and the new one does not? Is the new one a MOPAR? Does it help to drain the coolant out when you change coolant? Mine is still original in my 02 TJ so I dont know what it has.

    • @JeepSolid
      @JeepSolid  Год назад

      It's a vent hole that helps with getting air out of the system. Not essential, but some people like to put a hole there.

    is it possible to put the thermostat in upside down? how do you know your putting it in correctly?

    • @JeepSolid
      @JeepSolid  Год назад

      If there's a little bleeder hole for air, that goes toward the top. Many don't have a bleeder and there is no top

      Best advice I can offer is to binge watch some of the RUclips experts like Video Creators and Derrick Eves. They’re a couple of my favorite and have tons of info on starting a channel.
