That vacuum trick for installing the thermostat and gasket is super clever. Nice trick for the none professional DIYer. Thanks, you mid week videos are always so informative.
Challenging thermostat location. Burnt fingers = pissed off mechanic. Good how to video. Really nice to see one of the older rebuilds coming back to visit.

We bought our daughter a 3 year old Grand Am coupe while she was in high school. The best decision we ever made was trading it in 3 years later. That 94 was light years behind the 66 GTO I was driving my senior year in 73. Thank you for the trip down Memory Lane, Scott.
This design is what happens when more than one group of engineers works within the same design area. That exhaust crossover is pretty horrible!?! Thanks for the video!
It can’t go under because the transmissions in the way so it crosses overtop they could have engineered the thermostat location a little better like the 3.6 it’s much better easy to get to.
Thanks for answering a question that has been dogging me for years. I had a 2001Alero with the V6 and no heat (but no MIL.) I suspected a thermostat issue and not being a stranger to changing them, was dismayed at how difficult this would be. I got so far as to determine that the bottom bolt hole was slotted, ostensibly to ease replacement, but then "chickened out" and farmed the job out. Although the job didn't break the bank, I continued to debate about why I didn't just tough it out and do it myself and save the money for beer. Now I see that the slotted bolt hole was not a complete solution. I can't help but think, though, that given your job specific wrench, I couldn' handle it. Given another shot-I'd definitely try. Thanks again. As I've said to others, I'd buy one of your rebuilds.
Great job Scott. Thanks you for all the tips and tricks. This is one car i have never owned growing up. I always wanted one because it is a good locking car but have no need for one now lol.
Another great video with trick tips to get the job done. It's convenient that you provide Amazon links for a vacuum pump for not only the lower and middle, but also the upper social classes.
Those thermostats were ones I absolutely hated. I would always sell one whenever I did intake gaskets just to make sure I didn’t have a comeback. What’s an extra $15 when you’re that deep into it.

Thank you for the video, Scott. I have one of those wrenches that i bought back in the 80's when it was known as a distributor wrench! I know......prehistoric!
I thoroughly enjoy your video's. You seem to work and talk at ideal rates to keep my interest. And you have a great sense of humor and don't take life too seriously. Thanks! 👍👍👍
Very informative video,just shows how many different situations you can run into doing repairs.great video as always.just keep doing what you do best.on to the next project.😎😎😎👍👍👍
A lifetime ago, I had a thermostat stick open in the dead of winter in a 3100-powered Grand Prix that I owned. I didn't have a garage at the time, so a buddy and I drove that GP to a local self-service car wash to change out the thermostat. Needless to say I did NOT have that awesome U-shaped wrench to get the "bitch" bolt out and ended up taking 2 hours (and tons of curse words) to change out that damn thermostat!! In hindsight, it was totally irresponsible on my part to just dump the coolant directly into the car wash's floor drain 😳but it was equally comical having my buddy be the "lookout" to keep wandering eyes out of the bay we were hogging 🤣..
When burping the coolant on my Model 3 I just used a shop vac. It took a while, but it turns out the coolant fill was the same size as the hose on my shop vac...
Thanks for that tool tip. Just ordered mine and will try the thermostat again. I originally tried to do it with a small wrench could not get that bottom bolt off.
Very nice repair!. Fresh coolant is a nice touch to the repair, unless it was changed last year. I change the coolant in mine and my wife's vehicle every 2 to 3 years. Keeps nasty cooling system leaks or other problems away. Like engine oil, coolant is cheap! Engines are expensive!
The first and only time I’ve ever had to do this was on my daughter’s 2004 Pontiac Aztek. It’s been a few years now, but I believe I use a stubby wrench for the bottom bolt. The bleeding was a bit of a pain.
I miss my Pontiac Grand Am because it was mostly reliable until it got totaled. The 3.4L has the easiest water pump location and replacement of any engine.
Hey Scott, I'm a huge fan of your channel and your work. And real quick before I go, June 1 this year will be 2 years since I got a 2015 Chevy Cruz. Monday this week, it broke down a 4th time, blew the valve cover gasket again; it's the second time the vcg blew since I've had the pos. Warranty had no choice but to cover repair costs for the first 2 breakdowns because they occurred within the first 30 days of me taking it home. Monday, when the auto garage rep was on the phone with warranty people, they denied all repair costs again but informed us of the recall for the pvc issues. I paid for the evaluation and a tow truck to get it home, and it still sitting in my driveway. I was never told about a recall when the car lot sold it to me. Currently working with my credit union to get rid of it. In closing, I would like to hear any thoughts you might have about the Chevy Cruz LT's. Also, as usual, great video.
*GM = Gone Missing* but could they not THINK back in the 90's about that STAT? SCOTT, I am SO proud of you for solving this puzzle. I hope all are taking NOTE OF THIS performed by the surgeon *DR. SCOTT* & sincere thanks!
Vehcor, I'm tired of the typical brake bleeding solutions. Does someone offer vacuum fill option similar to these coolant vacuum fill tools? I've heard that the manufacturers use vacuum to "install" the brake fluid in cars at the factory.
Definitely love all the tech tips, I'm currently rebuilding the 3.4 in my 05 Impala. Did you know did you know the 3.4 commen blows head gaskets . Also Did you know a brand new replacement cam for those motors they do not exist.
You could also theoretically take of the throttle body assembly and have a little more room to hold that thing in there. Did it on my cutlass with the 3.1
@vehcor it's not as fast but it's free, and a little more accessible when you have no access to power on the side of the road in middle of nowhere kansas, lol. Vacuum is a good tip though, wish I had that when I did it.
I have a Pontiac Grand Am question. I have a 2001 grand am 2.4l engine. My transmission pan is slightly leaking and people always tell me to never change your transmission fluid after 100k, but what can I do if my pan gasket is leaking?
Half of the closeout was above the bumber while half was below it. I guess the person before you was unsure and trying to make sure that they at least got it half right, no matter what. lol

Hi Vehcor! How hard is it to do the lower intake in one of those 3400/3100’s? Is it worth it? My grandmothers old Lumina only has 90k miles, but the oil/coolant finally met. It’s a mess. It wasn’t ran too long. I assume it’s just the troublesome intake gaskets. Sucks!
![I.N "HALLUCINATION" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/n5B5q1Hwt_U/mqdefault.jpg)
A stuck open thermostat in IL two weeks ago must have been fun. They probably had one of those $20 heaters just to keep the windows clear.
This is a spare car so it has been sitting but they probably would have had to light the dash on fire to keep warm the last couple weeks! 😂
Don't feel bad. Your critics never reach operating temperature either nor do they have a cool down period. Thanks for the video Scotty

You should not!
