[@hanktaylor8352]

Thank you for posting about that cool truck. It has been a lot of help for me and mine. Hope to have it looking good soon.

14:07 - Thanks for keeping the mishap in the video. We have all been there. You are a good sport.

[@MaqsVids]

Hahaha. I was on my way to work too. I had to change.

[@BigBadSloth]

I finally got my OBS a few ago, I have my work cut out for me. I'm glad I came across your channel, I feel empowered by watching you fix up your OBS.

[@MaqsVids]

Heck yeah!!! Good luck with yours!! I have a ton more to do too😉

[@anthonymartinez6010]

Love the videos of the k1500 repair from a true just a regular guy at home repairing his truck in his garage and driveway. Keep up with the awesome the content.

[@MaqsVids]

Dude! Thanks man. That means the world to me. I absolutely love tinkering and I will keep it up.

[@rahmatolah123]

Used a fuel line after wasting tons of time trying to find a new overflow hose. Thanks for making this video! Honestly needed this video months ago. If you rename this...replace your clogged overflow hose on a k1500 I am sure it will get more hits. Or at least it solved my constantly collapsing upper radiator hose issue.

Just bought a 88 c3500 love these videos your in depth explanation helps a lot because I’m the type to do everything very meticulously

[@donirbe6668]

Thanks for the info, very informative and I had a little chuckle at the end. The truck looks great.

[@johnwinslow7390]

I enjoyed the video! Looking forward to seeing what you do with the carpet and any interior work. I am working on my 1990 K1500 Z71.

[@MaqsVids]

Thanks man. Good luck on yours too.

[@stevelassetter6954]

I like your content Maq! Good work sir I have a 1993 Chevy Silverado Z71 going through a lot of what your doing 👍🏼

[@MaqsVids]

Thanks man! Good luck with yours. I love these trucks and the more we keep alive the better. I hope to be able to get another one one day.

Suuuuper important to regular flush and back flush both front AND rear heater (if your vehicle has rear heater). You will be shock at how much rusty comes out if your system has been neglected

[@austinreeves9112]

I wonder if the truck had that orange dexcool at some point? That will cause that and also cause the milky shake looking stuff in the radiator and can scare you into thinking you have a blown gasket.

[@MaqsVids]

It absolutely had the orange dexcool at some point.😐 This truck was very neglected when I got it

[@austinreeves9112]

@@MaqsVids that was the issue then lol, that junk will sludge a system like no other. I saved your videos and I took my radiator out like you did in your other video, it's sitting and waiting for me to have time to get to it but I'm going to individually flush the whole system.

[@lui805]

so you where just feeling up with water running it and draining till it got clean with water???

[@MaqsVids]

Yes it took forever. This was after flushing it and then running it with coolant flush solution.

[@johnbernal9342]

are you looking to buy another one I have a 1990 gmc sierra two tone

[@lht5dy31]

Hey maq, It’s been sometime since I’ve done my rad. You fill one gallon prior to start up, turn on therma, and fill till it’s about to the top, then close? Reminder in overfill?

[@jimmie93x]

Hey there! Just bought myself a '90 a couple months ago! Just curious how many times you ended up flushing before it was mostly clear? And maybe this is a dumb question, but im assuming you let the truck cool down conpletely before you attempted to drain the fluid?😊

[@reneperez9125]

hello friend very good videos they help me a lot I could give you a suggestion I think you should leave the links about the tools and parts you use for the truck

[@MaqsVids]

Thanks for the tip. I need to get better about that. I will start doing it. Good luck with whatever you are working on too!

[@gtuttle4]

Unbelievable how much rust is in the overflow hose!!!!

[@yeetfeet1601]

Unbelievable how he didn’t clean it out for the satisfaction

[@YouSoundButtHurt]

That's not rust, that's solidified dexcool.

[@AW-fb8hr]

It is sweet damn!! LOL 😂😂😂😂

[@MaqsVids]

Hahahaha.....I never wanted to taste it....but now I know.
