Another mechanic said that they build these engines the way they do based mainly on what design is the cheapest to assemble, they are not thinking about labor costs for fixing things later.
thanks a lot I have a question maybe you can help me out. My buick rendezvous 2005 needs new spark plugs but I its kinda difficult to change the three on the inside of engine. Any suggestions?
Trying to remove the throttle body thats above the thermostat housing. How the hell did you move that black rod/hose that runs under it. Its preventing me from removing the throttle body. Thanks.
Hi everyone, hope someone can help me out with my Buick rendezvous 2005. It shows that the temperature is going up but I already replace the cooling fans and the thermostat plus new anti-freeze. What else could it be? Please any comments will be really appreciated. Thanks for your support. Texas
Just for future ppl with the same issue. Believe it or not it is possible to get an air pocket inside the coolant system. B4 going to spend any money on parts buy a 5 dollar over flow funnel (canister shape with lid and hose attachment) or use a 2 liter bottle and some duct tape to make a good seal and set in your radiator or reservoir for those with no radiator cap and all you do is crank the vehicle and constantly keep the coolant level higher than the top of the tank/radiator (half way or so up the funnel or bottle and maintain the level careful not to let it go below to allow more air in. The coolant should start to move up and down as the engine warms up. That will be how u will kno if u have air in the system. You'll do this until the thermostat opens up and chugs the coolant. Finish adding the proper amount for your specific vehicle and voila, then put your cap back on and you're done. Small tip to keep from making a mess most of the time there will still be coolant left in the container. A semi long screw driver or other skinny object and a rag to push down in the funnel or bottle neck since it'll be cut off from the middle to keep from the coolant rushing out all over your paint, battery area etc. I had never heard of such a thing as burping a coolant system or heard of anyone with this issue and I'm about to make 30 in a cou pl e months but sure enough my 2005 chevy tahoe did this out of nowhere whenever it felt like it. Would run hot and had even blew a hole in my hose. That was my sign more than a thermo. or pump. Lastly ano tr her new piece of info I didnt know that the coolant will need free space inside the tank to allow expansion 🤯 so no more buying a jug of 50/50 and filling until she pukes as my grandad used to tell me when we would be working on one together. Hope this helps someone in need. NOTE** I am not an expert, liscensed mechanic, or anything pertaining to needless to say yes its possible I'm wrong on something somewhere along the line. Just passing on what info I know to be true and use on my vehicles! Anyone reading I hope u have a wonderful day and may God bless you!!! Take care.
@@LewsSpeedShop on another video shows another round gasket for the thermostat because I did it the same way as you did without the the round thick gasket and i got a small leak in there
God why do you always have to disassemble an entire engine to replace every single part, you'd think in 100 years of creating engines they would have made some progress with more intelligent design..
You prolly dont give a shit but if you are stoned like me atm then you can stream pretty much all the new movies on InstaFlixxer. I've been streaming with my girlfriend these days =)
Im so lost. I just watched one video the guy removed two things and was at the thermostat. This guy is on the other side removing stuff. I have a headache
I found this on the internet. Hope it helps. The thermostat is on the right side of the engine when facing the engine from the front(drivers side). It is under the air duct. It is a difficult job to replace, you must remove the duct, the air cleaner housing, and the black pipe above the thermostat housing so you can get your hands at the bolts. Even though the housing is slotted, the bottom bolt must be removed
All that Boolshit because the almighty computer! why can't car makers give peaple an option to buy a new car that has zero sensors and computer garbage I mean make a new car that's easy to work on like my gm truck pre-74 my 3 year old grandkid can work on it.
Guy Azbell it’s because the manufacturers know their products are so long-lived (comparatively to those from the 50s/60s) that they won’t sell as many, which has an effect on the service side at the dealers as well: the sensors make all sorts of work for mechanics while being (environmentally) within the laws. All of this means profits/dividends for shareholders.
Great video but HORRIBLE ENGINEERING DESIGN. Obviously engineers have never had replaced their own thermostat on something like this. I miss the days we're replacing a thermostat only took about 10 to 15 minutes
Car is a pain in the ass. I hate buicks and Dodge. Had the damn throttle body off which is a differnt kind than yours, but couldnt get to the dam back bolt to the thermostat housing.
Just finished this. All that's left is a fill and bleed. Video was very helpful. Thank you.
Nice job...thanks for your patience...👍
Thanks for the video. Best one I've found yet...
Thank you for the in depth video. Engineers definatley could have put it on the other end of that housing to save us all a bunch of time!

@@shryve hopefully when they move manufacturing over seas they product will get better
Thank you, homie. Appreciate ya.
thanks a lot

Carlos Dominguez the way I did it was lift up the truck, and get to them from the bottom.
Mind Blown Productions So is that easier way to do it? BTW thanks for replying 👍
Some people have taken the front 2 engine mounts off and tilted the engine forward to reach them. Whatever works
It's up to you. It was easier for me to go underneath
Mind Blown Productions thanks a lot .... just that I don't trust auto mechanics
Trying to remove the throttle body thats above the thermostat housing. How the hell did you move that black rod/hose that runs under it. Its preventing me from removing the throttle body. Thanks.
Use a screwdriver to loosen up the hoses. Then pull it hard. Make sure all the mounting bolts are removed
It halped me don't know about anyone else but thanks
How long did it take you to do this...start to finish?
About a hour and a half
So after installing the thermostat did it stop running hot.
Yes
Love this video thanks
My knuckles hurt just watching this

There may be a leak in the cooling system. Use a cooling system pressure tester to find the leak
Mind Blown Productions Thanks a lot. I'm going to try that tomorrow.
Maybe the water pump ?

Can this same procedure be done on a 2006 buick rendezvous ??
It can be done on the 3400 engines
Спасибо за перевод на русский язык) 👍👍👍👍👍
How is your car running now
It cleared the check engine light, no overheating
Mind Blown Productions nice I have the same but a 04 really love this car just have a lot of issues fixing them little by little
@@LewsSpeedShop see as zz as
Do u need to put gasket sealer on the parts u took offf
And put bacl on
No. The thermostat has a seal on it
@@LewsSpeedShop i meant the throttle body and the metal tube with the bleeder screw
@@darrenkamerling2476 no sealant was required for any of the components
@@LewsSpeedShop on another video shows another round gasket for the thermostat because I did it the same way as you did without the the round thick gasket and i got a small leak in there
Its always the head gaskets. Replaced, use FEL-PRO HD's and never do this damn job again.
good job!
Thanks!!

I understand taking off the throttle body “makes it easier “ but according to Alldata it’s unnecessary.

yeah you dont need to remove all the coolant to do a thermostat LOL

😂you took off to much
