👍👍 Thank you sir!!!! Worked like a charm. 2012 chevy traverse, temp hasn't moved passed 210° since !!

[@padesnig]

what was the problem before? Mine is overheating, I want to try this first, as it seams simple enough

[@dtmdanthaman7305]

overheating. worked for awhile, ended up just having it flushed.

[@jd5179]

My 2010 Buick enclave - heat spikes up when driving thru hills . No issues when driving on flat roads or downhill. What could it be ?

[@samhill2070]

In at 16 keep up the good work

[@franciscogarcia7588]

Excellent video thank you 😊🙏

[@ocramjkm100]

Thank you you doing a excellent job man👌

[@marcleclair2261]

I just added dextron coolant. It Fix my overheating issue on my 2011 . But this video was a nice to know . Thanks buddy !

[@emilycummings7540]

I just had the AC condencer replaced at Midas and now my Temperature gage is going up one notch above 210 when setting still. what should I check?

[@AFatherToTheFatherless]

It's fine if it's not overheating

[@Andr1019_]

Hey sir, do you know at what temp are this fans suppose to kick on on this traverse. My traverse will kick them in a-soonest I start the car but I always thought the electrical fans were suppose to come on only when the engine requiere or when ac is on.

[@JoeTheAutoGuy]

Even on cold start?

[@rtrtsut7855]

Is he showing how to unplug signal lights?

[@eddieabundiz4798]

Hmmm 🤔 my 2013 enclave is overheating when idle or in traffic but fine on the road. Wondering if this will help. Gonna try this.

[@JoeTheAutoGuy]

also check coolant level and cooling fan operation

[@neustkg]

Do you have a link for the DIY Spray wand? Couldn't find it

[@JoeTheAutoGuy]

I do not it's an older video I could definitely film one this week if your interested I still use it time to time

[@neustkg]

@@JoeTheAutoGuy thanks. I did a search on KZbin and I think I found it

[@matthewmontes7600]

Hey man my brother has the 2011 enclave and its overheating.....and there are metal shavings in the coolant...im kinda leaning on the water pump but not really sure. Metal is just in coolant not the oil. What could this be?

[@JoeTheAutoGuy]

Yeah it’s probably grinding away in the Waterpump housing

[@matthewmontes7600]

Thanks man

[@ocramjkm100]

What kind a camera do you use ?

[@JoeTheAutoGuy]

I use a mix of a gopros, a canon t6i and my phone if I have to

[@pgsagency649]

So I don't need to remplace an AC sensor 'cause my chevry traverse 2013 said overheating and hot AC off

[@antimpala1]

I’m still trying to figure out what do you not understand! if you do not understand this video never open up the hood of a car 😂😂

[@trendzgamingg]

2009 enclave overheats… only one fan comes on.. no leaking coolant

[@JoeTheAutoGuy]

Which fan is coming on , and are you using ac

[@kevinmaxwell6610]

Thanks for making this video 👍I am buying this arcadia out of my family because I have had enough of its constant failing. I have replaced the radiator,starter,battery and things I can't remember all were checked out bad never in my life have I ever seen such a piece of shit vehicle. I am so upset with GM for this I promise to find some way to shove this arcadia far up GM 's ass😡

[@JoeTheAutoGuy]

they have had thier problems but i own one and it has been good with regular maintanance

[@kevinmaxwell6610]

True Joe with regular maintenance I kept a you-go running. Just wait you'll need a transmission soon like this 2008 arcadia and you'll have to decide if the engine is good enough for a $3500 transmission +shut down time.

[@AFatherToTheFatherless]

Failed to mention what engine this is. Failed video

[@JoeTheAutoGuy]

The traverse is only available with the 3.6 v6

[@pauleaton537]

I don't know what the hell this guy is even talking about or doing with a air hose and taking the bumper off he showed me absolutely nothing some people shouldn't post videos

[@stampede963]

What did you not understand? He did a great job explaining that he was getting to the condenser and radiator to blow them out. The only thing would have done differently is used water to wash out the fins, not just air.

[@gdamtbnms]

@@stampede963 i agree with you.. video was fine... some people shouldn't post comments lol

[@bassdaze]

videos are hard to do, keep your mouth shut and move on, if we wanted your opinion we'd give it to ya

[@pauleaton537]

@@bassdaze it's still straight lame MO

[@benstreck6466]

Just leave the work to mechanics then. No sense hurting yourself, Paul. Sometimes fixing an issue is not a drawn out complex problem. Sometimes cooling fins are just clogged with debris. To break it down: The nozzle he used pushes compressed air through the fins and blows debris out of the way. The water blows through the fins and demonstrates that the fins are clear while simultaneously rinsing the fins.
