How do you replace the thermostat in a 98 Chevy Venture?
Should be located at the engine end of the upper radiator hose Drain about 1 gallon of coolant from the radiator Remove housing at end of upper radiator hose Observe how thermostat is installed Clean both surfaces Install new thermostat and gasket Re-fill cooling system slowly to prevent an "airlock…" Start vehicle and watch for leaks Run vehicle to normal operating temperature with heater on Re-check coolant level -the above is extremely simplified... it is actually a HUGE job, and one I am undertaking at this time. (same applies for Chevy Venture, Pontiac Montana and Transport, and Oldsmobile Silhouette for all years 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001... six cylinder 3400 engine). Thermostat is under the throttle body which is on top of the engine on the left/driver side of the engine compartment, but it is ALSO behind the exhaust manifold! You MUST rotate the engine forward, then remove the ignition coil and ECG module, and other stuff too. Then you can get to the bolts for the manifold heat shield, and then you can remove the manifold. Best to get a repair manual, as all steps have many, many other steps to prepare for the next step. Wish this were easier... shame on you, manufacturers of these models. What is a 1/2 hour job on most vehicles, becomes at least 6 or more hours on these! I am not happy right now (my thermostat stuck closed, which overheats the engine in about 3-4 miles. You can let it cool for 10 minutes, and drive another 3-4 miles, if you don't have towing on your insurance. At least I HOPE it is the thermostat, and not a clogged radiator, which is what I will replace next .... or maybe the water pump... the belt tension is OK for the pump.)

How do you replace the front turn signal bulb in a 2001 Oldsmobile Silhouette?
Answer .
First raise the hood. You will see two separate plastic light housings, one containing the headlamp, and the other the parking light and turn signal bulb. There is a plastic thumb screw on the turn signal housing that you must totally unscrew. Remove it and put is someplace safe while yo…u continue. Gently pull the turn signaly assembly straight out towards the front. You may have to tug on it a bit, but remember these things are plastic and expensive, so be careful. There are two plastic tongues on the assembly you are trying to remove that fit into a couple of slots back behind, and if you're lucky they will slide out. If they don't slide out like they are supposed to then put it back together and take it to the dealer. If the assembly does pop out correctly, just twist the bulb socket out, turn the bulb and insert the new replacement. (MORE)

Why could my 1997 Oldsmobile silhouette run hot after replacing water pump and thermostat on vehicle?
If it wasn't running hot before the changes you may have an airlock in the water system. If it was running hot before it might still be an airlock or it could be the head gasket leaking. Whichever it is it needs sorting quickly. The best placed to cure this problem are your local garage or dealershi…p. But you could try this first: With the engine cold and all the heater controls set to hot, remove the top from the expansion bottle. Make sure there's the required level of fluid in it then squeeze the thick radiator hoses to try and move the air out of the system. Run the engine and check for more air. Replace the expansion botle cap. Note: Sludge in the water, continuous air bubbles, antifreeze colour change or oil in the water all indicate headgasket leaks (MORE)

How do you replace a thermostat on a 1977 442 Oldsmobile?
It's at the front of the engine, under the housing that holds the large upper radiator hose. Two bolts [1/2" socket size] and the smaller bypass hose must be unfastened. This is a good time to replace that short bit of bypass hose with new. Don't break the thermostat housing bolts off - if it requir…es too much torque, get help from an experienced mechanic. Sometimes, working back and forth with spray lube will remove stubborn fasteners. Once the fasteners and bypass hose are free, tap the housing loose, and it should come right off, spilling a bit of coolant... unless you cleverly drained some out first at say the radiator drain cock. Right there in the intake should be your thermostat, easy to pry out. Scrape away the old gasket remnants and put in the new 'stat, sensor end down in the engine of course. Form-a-gasket #2 [NOT SILICONE] makes a great sealer for the gasket AND THE BOLTS, which do pass thru into the coolant. If you must replace the bolts, use the EXACT SAME LENGTH and/or stainless, so that they won't get rust buildup on the inside, which can prevent successful removal in the future. (MORE)
