I almost turned off the video. Luckily he was joking. Very helpful to have the heads and stuff out of the way so you can see the layout of the thermostat housing. Thank you.
First of all. Jajaja. Had me going. I replaced my thermostat but there was a leak after the car got warm, i tighten them a bit. One of the screw broke so i need to replaced the whole housing with the assembly. I question is is there a way to do it? Please help 😢
I have a coolant leak from the backside of my 04 CTS. I believe a metal hose was damaged during a transmission change. Can this metal connector hoses be replaced?
Sir I'm assuming when you put the heads back on you will have cylinder 1 top dead center and will that align on the crank sprocket timing mark stage 1 or stage 2 🤔
What a horrible design. Way to go gm… My cts coupe ac stopped working dealer charged me 250 for ac service . It didn’t work the ac button light goes off while sitting still and gets super hot . Then I noticed my temp going above 220. 2 days late the temp maxes out so I called a couple car repair shops and none of them want anything to do with changing the thermostat. The clutch fan kicks In and runs . So now I’m going to fix it myself . Hope this is the issue . Not many videos on this car with over heating issues Thank you for your video
That man made me laugh I needed that laugh damn he killed me😂😂😂😂😂

You scared me. That was frightening to see in the beginning lol.
Sorry, I couldn't resist! 😁
Lmaoo I was shocked when you told us that we had to pull the heads. Good one tho
Would this be achievable by just removing the intake manifold rather than some people that remove the wipers and cowel?
How would you bleed the system after this? And can you buy just the gasket at an auto parts store?

Do the seals on the hoses need to be replaced? ORiley’s only sell the top and bottom housing together. Should I replace both?
New seals are always a good idea. I got the thermostat from rockauto but it's easier to replace the complete housing unit.
what if you have metal pipes that connect to the thermostat
Is it necessary to replace housing? Cloud I only replace new thermostat into old housing
Yes, you can just replace the thermostat.
@@grampzquad thank you so much for your quick response.

I get most of my parts from rockauto.com I didn't see it there. You may have to go to a dealer. Cheapest option would be an auto wrecker. Good luck!
Could you drop a part number for that thermostat
Oommgggg thank you sooo much saved me 1k. 🙏 thank you!!
I'm glad to be a help! Remember to like and subscribe! 😁
