I have a 2007 Chevy TrailBlazer / 5 passenger / 4x4 / in line 6 cylinder.

Need to know flat rate time allocation for the replacement of engine coolant thermostat.

Assistance appreciated.

I havent seen the engine but would think the thermostat is somewhere near the top and front of the engine so I would allow half to 1 hour including parts cleaning time. If it is behind a mass of other pipes and wires it may well take a bit longer.

Yes TONY, the t/stat is buried, thus the reason to find a legitimate flat rate manual time.

IM hoping someone has a MITCHELL OR CHILTON or whatever hard copy manual or an online source for the flat rate times, which they use in their business.

THANKS Tony.

I was not aware that KBB had expanded to offer this service. Thanks Tiny!

I didn't either Rusty. I googled '2007 chevy flat rate manual' and that was one of the top returns.
