For the novice out there, make sure your engine is cooled down before opening that radiator cap. If you have to open it while the engine is running, using a towel over it and slowly turning it and let the pressure slowly release the air/coolant or what not. Wear eye goggles.

Good revue. You covered about everything IMO. Just a heads-up for those that do not know this is Air pockets in the system can bite you too. So after flush, waterpump, thermostate, hoses or radiator replacement, Burp those pesky air pockets out. I got a little kit from Amazon cheap that works very well. Thanks for sharing Josh, good stuff!!

Very important thing to check - Oil tank, because water can leak to engine through head gasket and mix with oil what will cause milky colour of oil. Additionally this significantly reduces lubrication properties of oil and can cause severe damage to engine.

the thermostat on a 96-99 Cadillac DeVille or 95-99 SeVille, the thermostat is in the housing of the water pump cover and it is the lower radiator hose that connects to it, and they are belt driven. and a thermostat now days is 22 dollars and up. I paid 35 + tax for a fail safe thermostat when I replaced mine, and if anyone is replacing a water pump on one of these model Cadillacs, there is a tab with a dot of paint on it that installs at the 1 o'clock position and not the 7 o'clock position like the 2000 model Deville! Recent learning experience for anyone dealing with that. Also there is a purge line on these that goes from the water pump housing where the motor mount bracket is over this and there is a valve with a hose that makes it way around through a couple hard lines with 3/8" rubber hose that splices them together. I had to bypass both with new hose to the purge tank that has the high pressure radiator cap on it! You should also make sure your radiator cap is good and keeping the radiator at the right pressure so that the antifreeze isn't boiling out of the overflow line! the purge lines seem to get clogged when people use water because they don't want to spend money on antifreeze for the system and these purge lines get obstructed with corrosion over time and cause overheating problems and cause the water pump and other components to fail! Just a FYI where I am in Oklahoma, hard water is common and can quickly cause these 3/8" hard lines to get clogged up and cause overheating problems because it stops the coolant from circulating through the engine! High idle can also cause the engine in these models to operate at high temps and cause overheating as well! Again, my recent learning experience with a 96 Cadillac DeVille! All those important air flow sensors and idle air flow valve, are important to maintaining a cool running vehicle! FYI

Seems like there are two other causes. 1. Impeller on the water pump is broken, so water won't be pumped through the system. Do you have any easy diagnostic technique? 2. Plugged radiator. If you're sure the radiator cap is good, the coolent isn't leaking, the thermostat is working, the head gasket is intact and your fans are working. It seems like it has to be a radiator plugged up or the water pump impeller is broken. Got any ideas on how to determine which one it is?

I thought it'd be head gasket but aside from heat theres no other sighns like the milky oil. and I'd prefer not to go back in for that.

I’ve noticed that it was low on coolant. When the engine is cold I take off the radiator cap, turn on the car and then pour the coolant so that it goes through the system evenly as I pour. Once it’s full, I put the cap back on and close it. I’ve been told this is the proper way. Is this correct? Thank you for this video.

God bless you for your wise godly message. Quick question. I have a 2018 buick encore. Its over heating. Im using water til i figure out whats wrong. When it over heats. I notice high pressure out of reservoir. Sometimes the water is low sow i add. Most time it has water. Also no mixing of any other fluids in resorvoir. No leaks underneath and no strange noise. I think my oil could be low. Will do oil change. My question if the oil level is low. Would that cause overheating. Also noticed that some days all works fine. Can you please share your input on this. Just checked oil. Past the full line. Put oil dip stick back in and got a bad knocking sound and a lot of smoke from engine exhaust and resorvoir cap. That I loosened. Had to turn off car.

Ive checked my coolant, it is leaking from somewhere in my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit. I've had the radiator replaced, the water pump hose replaced, coolant cap replaced, the fan is working fine. Jeep dealership didn't diagnose head gasket issue, or faulty thermostat. So I am guessing due to having no working heating, ( cabin air is cold) that I have a leak in the hoses going to the heating core, is this the most likely cause. Or the pipes are blocked? Or could there be air in the pipes? I'm at loss, it's my daily driver, it's winter and no heat in the cabin means I can't even defrost my windscreen

I know this is old, but I’m hoping you will answer this. My 1989 Jeep I left running to charge the battery because I don’t drive it than much. It ran for about 35 mins. When I turned it off. It made a weird sound for a few seconds then steam came pour from under the hood and under the car, the pavement was drenched. I opened the hood when the car stopped steaming so bad and everything under the hood was wet!! Idk if it was coolant, but as far as I can tell there was more water/coolant on the passenger side under the car. But idk for sure because liquid was everywhere!! I mean the steam was really really bad! It doesn’t have AC as it is an old car and it wasn’t made w one. What should I do next? Put water in the radiator and run it to see if I can see where the leak is coming from? I know I’m female, but I’m really handy w cats and have replaced starters, fixed AC fans, thermostats, etc. So I’m not a total novice. I’ve just never seen a car overheat and seen this much liquid coke out. Also, while it was running, it didn’t steam. It didn’t steam until after I turned it off and it made a sound and it steamed so bad it looked like it was on fire 🔥 Really Bad! 😝 I did jump in and look and see that the thermostat gauge was running hot. Do you have any ideas of what I can do next? Thank you & God bless!!

Sounds like a coolant leak of come sort. Like you said, you’ll need to refill the radiator and run it again and try to find source of leak. Also Auto parts stores will often rent you a coolant system pressure tester so you can pressurize it without running the car.

@BudgetMechanicHawaii

Is the thermostat located at the end of your upper or lower radiator hose? Yes the hose next to the thermostat will be cooler having traveled thru the radiator. However if your engine is overheating the thermostat should be wide open allowing coolant to pass through constantly and coolant will still be hot to touch in both hoses. If hose near thermostat is SIGNIFICANTLY cooler, I would suspect a thermostat problem.

@@bennyhuxen9929 Well, since I couldn't figure it out, I wound up taking it to our mechanic. I did see a leak, a very OBVIOUS one, but wasn't sure if it was something I could fix....it was. It was the "water outlet". It's right on the manifold. You prob know what I'm talking about so no need to look it up on a auto store site. The dad-in-law helped us out financially, since my wife takes him to appointments and other things. He's in Asst. living...5 other people, so they really don't have anyone to take their folks. ANYWAY! That's what it was......

@Budget Mechanic Hawaii hi thanks for reply. Great tip it could be bad again maybe . I've got a water pump on its way so I'll chelate pump bekt AND thermostat (got new 1 here ) and go from there . Thanks pal Time ago I was getting groaning noises mostly at lower speeds they gone now ..I'm wondering if bearings in water pump gone bad and freed up from simply bearings slightly collapsing

Usually if WP bearings go out it will leak but anything’s possible. I’ve also seen the impeller blades disintegrate so it spins but doesn’t move water.

I have a problem. I chance my thermostat, my temperature control sensor, my water pump, and just this past weekend my radiator. My fans works fine. And my vehicle still overheats at stop lights and drive thru. What could be the problem? I'm just over it..😔🤦🏾‍♀️

frustrating! Not leaking coolant? with functioning fans, water pump, and plenty of coolant, it shouldn't be overheating... If all these things check out, I would check for bubbling/boiling in your radiator reserve reservoir or do a block test to check for head gasket leak...

@@BudgetMechanicHawaii Exactly what I thought. Shouldn't be after all that. It's no leaks or steam anywhere. It just backs up and coming out the reservoir overflow holes. But yeah that was my next step to do a head check. I might have a small fracture on my head somewhere. Thanks for the info.. 🤙🏽
