Back in the day when I was in high school we had a normal fall PM where I removed the summer thermostat and installed a new 195 F thermstats check all new checked oil etc checked belts clean battery connections plus points wires when through the whole car . My stepdad was always amazed how my car never had issues in the winter was jump starting his car and a few friends.. Good old days

I remember those days. I used to do that for some of my customers when I was an auto mechanic. This one is working well now.

Shhhhh, that's the only way I can tell it is running inside the truck. That is the belt squeaking, which went away after I replaced it and now its back again. Thanks Scott

I would say you were right or even that someone totally removed the thermostat. It does happen. Hope this video helps you. Thanks for stopping by.

I'm about to do this myself this weekend on my 03 sonoma. Dumb question, how long would I have to wait so coolant doesn't leak out of the pipe you disconnected? Just until the reservoir is full? Thanks

You would need to drain the radiator down about half way to get the level below the top of the engine where your thermostat is located. There is a drain plug on the bottom of the radiator that you can loosen (don't remove) until it allows fluid to run out. No matter what you do, you will have a little spillage. Hope your project goes well for you and thanks for stopping by.
