I know you made this video back in 2020, but I just wanted to thank you for a successful DIY Saturday morning today. Had I taken my 2015 Town and Country into the shop I might have paid as much as $500. Thanks to your help all I paid was $42 for the thermostat and a jug of coolant. For anyone with one of these older vans I can’t recommend a hand held reader enough to check for the codes when the engine light comes on. It has paid for itself since the first time we used it and helped us quickly identify our thermostat issue yesterday afternoon. Your short video was perfect for getting it done. Just put my iPad on top of the engine cover and followed your lead. Thanks a million!

Your video was extremely helpful in replacing my 2016 Chrysler Town and Country Thermostat. Antifreeze ran all over the bottom plate. There wasn't really any way to avoid this, most of it ran into the pan. I had a hard time disconnecting the wire harness plastic holder and I broke it off. No biggie I guess. Also, there is a very sharp point of metal where the air cleaner sat, I had to be very careful in that area. Everything else went well. I thought. I went for a test drive and was sitting at a light. It dawned on me that I completely forgot to move the hose clamp back into position. I was very lucky though that it was still attached and I didn't loose any of the anti-freeze I added. Our van uses orange anti-freeze if anyone is interested. I will be going to AutoZone tomorrow to get the code reset.

A couple things that helped me: 1. Disconnect the entire Air Filter Housing and hose intact by disconnecting the hose at the far end rather than the housing, then remove the vacuum hose, press fit wiring, and power steering reservoir. Now the housing and tube can be removed as one with a simple pull. No need to even ever open the housing. 2. The windshield washer fluid reservoir has "finger" extension that can be used to hold the power steering reservoir upright and ensure no air enters the system. 3. He had that nice tool to remove the press fitting, you can also improvise with Gardening hand tool weeder. Hope this helps at least one person.

Definitely, DEFINITELY recommend draining about a gallon of coolant out of the radiator before doing this. Easy to capture from the outlet under the draincock into a clean container using a foot-long tube. So much coolant lost in this video! If I had thought to keep the radiator hose up when I pulled it off the t-stat housing, I would have lost none. (I lost maybe an 1/8th of a cup.) Major PITA trying to get the bottom air filter housing back on the pin closest to the engine.

Chrysler has upped their planned obsolescence timetable in recent years. I had to replace a leaking transmission cooling line in my 2015 T&C in early 2022, and I've *never* had to replace one of those in my 45 years of owning cars, and I drive most of my cars to their graveyards.

Ditto on the evap. So far it seems to have been a ghost issue for us from a loose gas cap. We cleared the code with the handheld and it hasn’t coded for evap but a couple of times in the past five years. If there could be another issue please let us know. Seems to be a common issue for these vans.

yeah except this is a year round video, if your vehicle is fluctuating in temperature due to the outside temperature changing..........you will be having a cooling system component replacement due in the very near future. Cooling system failures can be masked by the outside temp being an extreme opposite. Thanks for watching!!!

Thanks for the video and informative content but shop elsewhere besides Amazon, others need business also. Additionally, I recommend using a new constant tension clamp as well as covering the pulley and the belt area with shop rags as spilled coolant wreaks havoc with those. You are right in your closing statement.

My recommendations: 1. No need to remove all that stuff at the beginning. If you use technique from #2, access is not a problem. Just need to move the power steering reservoir out of the way. 2. Remove screws, bend hose up for access, replace thermostat, and reconnect thermostat. All you have to do is make alignment marks on hose and thermostat and everything lines up perfectly. Way easier. 3. Don't mess with the bleeder. I did and when I tightened it back up the head twisted off. Not pleased. Much easier to just let the engine run and keep adding coolant as air works its way out. 4. Use locking pliers (VISE-GRIP) on that clamp. The pliers will easily hold the clamp open for as long as you need to move it out and back into position. 5. Before starting, use a file to dull that switchblade of a clip that will cut up the back of your hand while your work!

I removed that stuff to give me enough room to film and give you a good view. I agree with you, you could remove less if you wanted. That sucks about your bleed screw, I let the engine bleed itself and it works great. Another great idea with using Vicegrips and not the normal slip joint pliers like I did. (Yes I am going right down your list answering it all lol) LOL YES to #5!!!! That clip will get you over and over again. Great tips G Walker! Thanks for watching as well!

Important to say, you don’t get rid just of the check engine light. But, the cost of a new engine. This 12 dollar part can get stuck closed, preventing coolant to exchange heat inside the engine block leading to a blown head gasket (minimum).

@Sellthoseflippingcars

You are most welcome Eldridge! P0128 engine code means your engine coolant is not getting to operating temperature quick enough to meet the engine normal spec. Check your engine coolant for a proper 50/50 coolant mix. If you have not serviced the coolant system in awhile this would be the place to start. Hope this helps!

I changed the thermostat. Drove 200 mi. Check engine with p0128 didn't go away. Engine Temps around 188on highway 208-216 idle here in Florida with Temps outside around 90. I figure if it was a coolant sensor then it would not give accurate readings. Only problem that concerns me is that when burping the system with no spill funnel after thermostat open it started boiling and spilling vigorously coolant around. Like everywhere around engine area
