Great video. My fan stays on high after I shut it off and I have no temp and a check engine light. Your video is spot on. It’s amazing how dealers can rip you off. Even if you are not a mech you can get tools from home depot or Lowe’s and save hundreds just by watching a video.

I just have one question once you put the new thermostat does the fan turns off automatically I’ve been having trouble on my GMC canyon 2018 and honestly I thought we had to re-program it but it came back and turns out it was a thermostat
