all right so today we're placing a thermoset on a Jeep Grand Cherokee it's a is the thermostat part right here basically all this does is when the radiator fluid heats up to a certain temperature this allows the coolant to go inside the engine so the Komen comes in here through the radiator radiator and then this part allows it to pass through with the the place where it's stationed is right here I already took the wire off that goes to the temperature sensor there's two bolts in the top one right here and one at the bottom I'm being kind of lazy I want to take a part of the whole radiator or take off the fan valve so I'm just kind of working around those two things you can see right there it's starting to come far so I got those two bolts I'm done and right inside of that side of the camera right inside of that is the thermostat that we're going to replace so I got to do is take that out and pop the new one in so I will show you how to do that alright so I got this part that's what that looks like inside and outside you can see the two bolts and right instead of there's our thermostat if you go down right here I have the bucket underneath we're catching all the radiator flip that's coming out so now a whole lot comes out but you know enough you want to catch it all and then you definitely want to do this when the engine is cool I just barely got back from the mechanics wall to the parts store and yeah this thing is freaking hot right now for that part right there just comes right out sorry about the camera angle there all right so much for trying to do it the easy way this little guy fell down in the bottom bolt sorry on the little mechanism here that keeps in the thermostat filled down between my pulleys so I had to pull off everything anyway so so much for the being lazy far but it's better now because you can kind of see you know where the thermostat goes if you just take the thermostat this is the old one just kind of chilled right there has a little groove usually that kind of guides in where it sits and you can use that just depends on what type of thermostat you have so just a quick run-through how to get to this point if you do need to take off everything the fan sits on this you unscrew the four fan bolts the fan comes off and then you pull out the plastic shroud this guy with the fan at the same time and then there's a little metal pulley looks like this that sits on those four bolts and pull that off well you actually have to loosen up the steering pump pulley first I do that as there's two bolts down there in the back of you loosen up they'll take them out I'll just loosen them up and loosen up this one right here and then there's one right down there at the bottom that you unscrew to just let this slide down a little bit and the whole belt is able to become loose and you can pull off that pulley so now gives me a much better access to this anyway so I'm kind of glad I did make sure you take a scraper of some kind I just have a whole paint scraper laying around and get off the old gasket on both the motor side and the other side on here in kind of see is this kind of cool is where the temperature sensor is a temperature sensor goes right inside there so if you're going to replace that that's pretty simple as well there's another temperature sensor on the backside of the engine and both of those are important like one goes to your ages the other controls other things so okay got everything back in place got the hoses all snap back on all just about itself to finish off this guy yeah I'll see how it runs I'd usually put up a couple videos every week so don't forget to like if this helped you and go ahead and subscribe as well thanks
