Then why doesn’t anyone do it that way or show that way. I always see people drain, close, add water, run vehicle, drain, make sure color is clear, do steps again if need be if not, add coolant water mix. None of them ever show anything about the thermostat. Is it because it’s more out of convienance?
I see your point on the T. I’ll have to do that to my wife’s van since I’m selling mine soon.
You think if I do what I say turn the car on and add water into the radiator with the upper off for draining plus a tube on the upper down to a pan that the water would get every line? Sorry if I’m picking at your brain lol.

That’s cool I’ve heard of those things but cutting into something that I don’t have to makes my life easier lol. I just wanted to know about the thermostat just for fun and if nobody says hey it’s a bad idea I was going to do it and see how it works out for me. Might even get everything flushed out better and faster as long as the thermostat isn’t beneath a pile of wires sensors and a cat that decided to take a nap.

What kind of car do you have and how many miles? Plus a person is trying to trade a Sonoma for what you have right?

Lol thank you again Eric. Can’t wait for my next project to share which is a chevy cobalt believe it’s a 2013 and the abs/traction control lights are already on. Instinct tells me it’s not the mechanical part itself and not the main computer. I’m thinking it’s the actual monitoring device but like everyone says and what I’m going to do is trust but verify.

Thank you Eric I will read that ASAP before doing anything crazy. We need to check on his spark plugs too which that’s going to be awesome.

Yes he had to bring it in because coolant was leaking and making a lot of noise. The dealer diagnosed it and fixed it.
I’m helping three different people so this vehicle’s noise is a clutch cable needs an oil change coolant flush he’s getting a new cable for the clutch and transmission fluid change.
A Lincoln that needs new spark plugs ignition coil oil change fuel injectors cleaned maf clean possible tps needs replaced.
Chevy cobalt that I need to get diagnosed for possible bad abs/tcs either sensor or a component inbetween.
Plus my own car 2006 Suzuki aerio that I’m about to sell I need to do a general look over before I sell it. I do know I need to replace the brake pads.

Ok so the sludge has gone away from driving it on the freeway. We are going to do an oil change and coolant flush (will make the mix with distilled water). Plus it wouldn’t be a proper flush since I don’t have the specialized equipment for it but I was thinking of draining the radiator adding water running it draining again until it comes close to clear. Maybe even pull the lower to drain even more. Also, he found that his clutch cable is loose so while we’re at it going to tighten that up or replace it like he wants to. Wouldn’t hurt.
