just replaced thermostat. thanks to your detailed step by step how to video did the job myself and saved me some cashola in the process. keep those DIY VIDEOS coming thank you.
Just a heads up guys. If you are experiencing power lag, your temperature needle is always stuck on cold, or your heater is not throwing any hot heat. Make sure you change your engine thermostat and also bleed your anti freeze! Very important. 👍🏼
I know this is an old video but it helped me . I am getting ready to do mine . Thank you for the little trick about useing a magnet on that tricky bolt ! Love your videos very helpful. Keep them coming . 👍
Important detail at the end of this video. I didn't know it could take 10 -15 minutes to burp out all of the air from the coolant system. Thanks Peter.
Appreciate all of the videos you post - I have a 2006 Tacoma, and even though some videos are not specific to my truck, there is always a trick to learn - thank you!
Nice video, thanks for sharing. Was it issue with thermostat or it's just a preventive maintenance? How often would you recommend to replace the t-stat? I am planning to do the coolant flush on my 2008 V6 (107k MILES) and though to replace t-stat too even though it did not give me any issues yet
@4RM Every other year? Really? Come on, man. I just replaced an 18 year old thermostat on my Camry. It was still perfectly functional but I figured I'd do it as preventative maintenance as I was already flushing the coolant.
Help, i followed this tutorial and dropped the nut on the back of the thermostat housing. I have used magnets and a va uum and cannot find it. It rolled into the crevice behind the housing. What do i to?
nice video. my 2005 overheats alot. would o2 sensors cause that or thermostat. i know my cats are shot. theres more lights turned on my dashboard than a christmas tree
I have a Tacoma but the engine layout is almost the same. Guess what went out was the O-ring inside. I thought there was a gasket between the thermostat and other part.
Hi I have Toyota 4Runner 2004 v6 burning to much gas I had changed plugs. air filter ,pcv valve and no engine light is on any input please thank you sir.
If it’s like mine, the gasket on the thermostat was old and cracked so it started leaking coolant. It’s a common problem on the bigger 2uz-fe engine that was an option for this generation of 4Runner.

Great video, you have a nice way to explain step by step , thank you.
Well I just did the timing belt on my sequoia and water pump pulleys adjuster and thermostat this week...runs good..more miles to come
nice
Hey man you’re the best! Keep the videos coming
I’m having this problem right here on my 2008 Toyota 4Runner limited. Thanks for the video
Would you please explain the reason to change thermostat? How many miles, or any symptoms? Thanks
Where can I find your coolant bleed video after the thermostat is replaced? I tried to find it, but you have ALOT of videos ;-)
I need the same
There is one on each side of the engine block for v-6. That’s only if you want to do a true system flush.
I love all of your tutorials. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks for your video, very informative.
Sorry to bother you but what kind of extension is that to replace the thermostat because I don’t have one did you get it at harbor freight
What a filthy engine compartment. Thanks for sharing video.
I also noticed that and I thought mine was filthy .. lol but i believe it's a 4 wheel drive so it's been put to test on the dirt..
Great video, very helpful!!!
Thank you sir.. Great video
Thank you that was very helpful
would you please discuss the head gasket issue on this engine. thanks

buy an OEM part not aftermarket cheap china junk. Engines are expensive.
Helpful video thanks!!!!
You don't use any glue at all? Cadillac doesn't use glues just little tiny gaskets ...
Great vlog! Thank you!
Help, i followed this tutorial and dropped the nut on the back of the thermostat housing. I have used magnets and a va uum and cannot find it. It rolled into the crevice behind the housing. What do i to?
Great video. Could you tell me the tools you used in this video? Thank you very much.
nice video. my 2005 overheats alot. would o2 sensors cause that or thermostat. i know my cats are shot. theres more lights turned on my dashboard than a christmas tree
End up fixing it?
Change the ETC sensor at the same time , it's on the back of the block
I have a Tacoma but the engine layout is almost the same. Guess what went out was the O-ring inside. I thought there was a gasket between the thermostat and other part.
Thank you!
Hi Friend, wish you were in my area of California, I'm having a problem with the P0430 even though I changed the O2 sensor.
I'm encouraged but do I have to drain the radiator
Gracias for the information 👍👍👍
Hi I have Toyota 4Runner 2004 v6 burning to much gas I had changed plugs. air filter ,pcv valve and no engine light is on any input please thank you sir.
don't drive it as much and are you sure someone isn't stealing your gas?
Note : a 2007 Tacoma uses the exact same Thermostat ....
hi
wre i find the coolant sensor in this engine?
Omg I love your accent 😂😁
Excellent! Thank you!
👍
My friend ,what kind of speed wheel sensor for a 4th gen 4runner would you use? OeM or aftermarket?
oem...
Always OEM 👍🏼
Parts house told me I have to use the red coolant lifetime...its 25 a gallon whew
The cost in the end is well worth it. It’s not as expensive as fixing it if done wrong. They are good vehicles, take care of it.
Can the THERMOSTAT be replace only without the housing??
no, it's one unit
good video thank you
🙏🏼👍
Those cheap thermostats are often defective. Has one in my truck that wasn't opening completely. Put the original one back in.
Hi bro, what happens if I remove the thermostat and run the car without it?
The engine will run too cool and you will get a error code.
I have a 97 limited i need some help locating it
check the place where you last parked it.
What was the reason to have the thermostat replaced?
If it’s like mine, the gasket on the thermostat was old and cracked so it started leaking coolant. It’s a common problem on the bigger 2uz-fe engine that was an option for this generation of 4Runner.
I helping my coworker 4Runner radiator and thermostat change, this video help me to much))) morning
Polak?
