Well, my brother in law and I tried to change out the t-stat in my wife's 2002 Envoy. We got both front engine lift bracket bolts out and the one that holds the A/C line to the bracket. We also got the top alternator bolt out. The only bolt we couldn't get out was the 3rd one on the engine lift bracket. No amount of WD-40 or persuasion would move that bolt and we ended up stripping a 15mm socket in the process. I was afraid we would strip that bolt too. So no go on changing out our t-stat.
I have a feeling this is the original t-stat and the Envoy has 147k miles on it. I'm pretty sure the heat cycles have seized that bolt in place to where it will take a flame to hopefully get it out.
I feel like we got nothing accomplished today.
