Summary
Cooling System Revival continues-one nugget at a time! This morning, Motormouth puts the spotlight on one of the most overlooked components in your cooling system : the thermostat, or as I call it, the Temperature Navigator. It's job is simple but critical-help keep your engine operating at its proper temperature by regulating coolant flow. On many modern engines, normal operating temperature is around 195F, but that little thermostat is certainly not lifetime component. So what does "lifetime" actually mean when somebody sells you a maintenance-free part? Would you trust a "lifetime" maintenance-free claim on an 18-wheeler, aircraft, helicopter-or any other machine where failure could have serious consequences? Neither would I. And when a thermostat fails an engine overheats, today's aluminum-heavy engines can be especially unforgiving. excessive heat can lead to warped components, head-gasket fsailure and potentially catastrophic engine damage. Thermostat may be small, but its job is HUGE. This is Cooling System Revival-Fall Vehicle Maintenance, one nugget at at time, with Motormouth. #Cooling System #Thermostat #VehicleMaintenance More Episodes and..... project Details & links are available at Car Connection Business Network.com ( ccbusnet.com ) you'll find everything on our home page if you'd like to follow the build & Repair work we do & connect with our program partners, click their logo to meet them, Thank You for giving them your business friends, we need them & YOU TOO👍❤️ How can you Support Motormouth....If you enjoy what we do and want to Help keep Motormouth moving, there are five simple ways you can support the show. ☕️ Support the Show : Buy Me a coffee- buymeacoffee.com/motormouthnile your gift of any size matters to us very much! 💰❤️ 👕 M…
