NATHAN MCCOULLOUGH: Hi, my name is Nate McCullough on behalf of Expert Village. In these clips, we're going to talk about the proper way to remove and replace your vehicle's thermostat. In this clip, we're going to talk about some of the general service procedure involved in reinstalling a few of your vehicle's accessories. What I have here is some of the intake ductwork. It had to come off in order to service our thermostat. I'm going to slip it right on here onto my air filter housing and slip it on to the throttle body. I also had to disassemble a vacuum line which I'm going to go ahead and slip on as well. The throttle body connection and the air filter also had hose clamps. I'm going to zip down with my screwdriver here. There we go. I'm going to take and install my engine nameplate. It really has no particular use as far as mechanical function goes but it does label the engine as a 4-liter EFI engine, that's electronic fuel injection. I'm going to take and slip it right over in its location here. I'm going to go ahead and just start them by hand. You're going to want to start both bolts before you tighten one of them down, it just makes the assembly process much easier that way. Just zip them down with my screw gun. And there we go. That is the proper way to install your ductwork and engine labelling cover.
