I identify with this comment. Having issues, I kept saying my heat was too hot..they kept saying it's 20 years old.. just fill overflow, I wouldn't do it.. I WANTED TO KNOW WHY IT KEPT HAVING TO BE REFILLED. I just sent this and another non dodge sponsored video, to my son in law for our LEARN A NEW THING A DAY DURING COVID.. LOL In this video I learned also about the valves and can check those too.. I love this truck. The guy sold it to me maintained it for 18 years, now everyone wants me to just run it to the ground. I refuse. It was getting 18 to 20 mpg, now it's at 15. Because everyone said it couldn't be fixed. And this video shows what my concern was. You can't just fill overflow and be done, so many bring it to mechanic or dealer. When the issue is the bleeding and pressurization. I hope I saved it, by not driving it while trying to troubleshoot it.. Everyone involved has learned a new thing, that this engine needs to be serviced correctly and not just fill overflow. So many can't get it, because they always just fill overflow in other vehicles. This is not the same type if system.. so get a her kit in your truck.. because if you have to add antifreeze, it's not a quick fix, until you can do this process in the middle of the night with no light.. lol and it's 22 degrees.. but after you do it a couple times when it's convenient, you might not get stuck like that. . These tutorials are great.. even I can follow them.. I just need extra muscle to get the bolts out.. lol

A better way to fill and bleed the coolant is to remove that 8 mm plug,take a transmission funnel with the small end and screw it into the bleeder hole where the 8mm plug was,remove the radiator cap,fill the cooling system through the funnel until coolant comes out of the radiator where the cap was.basically you are reverse bleeding it.i do it all the time at the Chrysler dealership I work at.this method works well quickly.

Many thanks! My son's 2005 Dodge 1500 4.7 liter overheated. I found that the waterpump was going out. So we replaced it. While there I decided to replace the lower hose. Hence all fluid ran out. Refilled and after a few minutes we overheated again. Upper hose hot and lower cold. That made me think the thermostat was stuck. So I finally found the dang thing. Never found one on the bottom before. Came across your video while looking for pointers on changing the thermostat. Hmm. We didn't do that. Followed your instructions and boom. It stayed at operating temp for a five mile trip in 2nd at 2500-3000rpms. I call this job done. Again thanks!

On my 08 4.7L, I open the bleeder, top if off and close it back up. I run the engine with a Lisle (EPAuto Knock off) Spill Proof Radiator fill funnel with plenty of coolant in it. Run it with the heat on and just keep massaging the upper radiator hose until there's absolutely no air in the system. I've never run it with the bleeder off though. Hasn't been an issue in the 4x I've had to replace the coolant due to a water pump, radiator or just changing it out. But yes, 100% agree that that spot will be the cause of air pockets if you don't open it up and fill it up! Keep up the great vids!!! (Though, by 08, the reworked 4.7L is supposed to not have the valve seat dropping issue.)

Great advice man! I'm getting ready to do a coolant flush today and I'm so grateful that i ran across your vid. I only wish i knew this a couple years ago. My 4.7L V8 in my Commander overheated for no apparent reason one day on the highway. I pulled over immediately, shut her down to avoid further damage, but it was already to late, motor blown. $6,000 later, my new crate motor just overheated but i was lucky this time and the motors good. I did notice that the guys who put the motor in must've filled the radiator as well and put some green colored shit in there, which was wrong since everyone should know that motor requires HOAT, which is an amber color! If they didnt even do that i doubt that they bled the system as you suggested in your video. Which is possibly why car overheated again. Well, they say if you want something done right then do it yourself and that's why I'm off to do my coolant flush right friggin' now! Peace✌️😁

Just got my 4.7 WK fixed today, was a bad t-stat and needed to bleed the air out which was done. There was such a big air lock in it that kept the coolant from flowing that we cleared up ultimately that all I know, is I'm glad it is done now and I made sure it wasn't getting past the mid-point anymore for 6 mins or so and it stayed at N.O.T. (Normal Operating Temp). Good video.
@Fastasfffboiii3 жыл бұрын
This works. I tried to bleed my system by just removing the radiator cap and elevating the front end of the truck and the heat would not come through and I saw no bubbles. I removed the valve he showed and left the cap off and instantly saw bubbles coming from the valve port. But do be aware if you don’t have a wide funnel to catch the coolant you will looses some. And possibly spill onto the engine causing a burning coolant smell. Obviously lol. But after about ten minutes the heat was melt my skin hot so ik it opened up and I shut the truck off and capped everything off. Be sure to take the vehicle on short drives and check the fluid level often when the vehicle is cold. To ensure you have the proper amount of coolant in the radiator, reservoir and engine. The AC blows penguins and the heat blows fire The engine temp stays optimum most of the time right behind the center line. Before it used to run slightly hot. I’ve replaced the water pump, radiator, radiator hoses, and thermostat. So I let a lot of air in. And this method definitely allowed the air to escape.

I have a 05 jeep with that 4.7. sunk it in some water put a new motor not a used one but new. Put all new sensors ran all new vacuum lines new injectors coils plugs you name it I replaced it. I have a p0172 and p0175 bank 1 and 2 are running rich. I relocated the air filter to the top of the motor. That's the only thing I changed and I took the ac out and put a bypass pulley on it. Vacuum is at 19-20 idle fuel pressure is good 58-60 I'm lost at where to look next. My thoughts now is I put the air filter to close to the motor and it's getting way to hot of a air temp in the chamber. The way I think is the hotter the air into the motor the less oxygen available for proper running conditions. Any thoughts?

The other thing people can't get though their head is that when a modern car ( mostly alloy heads or full alloy engines ) over heats, throws a belt or breaks a coolant hose or whatever you STOP. They still think well we're only 5 miles from home or the shop it'll be ok. Well it won't be ok. Even an expensive tow is way cheaper than a new engine.

I have Ram 2500 5.7 with this same exact radiator setup and I’m so glad I saw this because I’m charging mine out today and would have never thought of doing this. Where would I find it on the 5.7 hemi?

This is very important. You can drop valve seats and toast the motor

Thank you! I just replaced my water pump yesterday and realized my truck was over heating! This is probably why

I'm certain my mechanic did not do this and that is why my engine runs a little hotter occasionally. Thank you!
