A few things: While it’s OK to remove the 10mm plugs when filling, that isn’t actually how you bleed it. To bleed you partially loosen the 7mm bleed screws while the engine is running. The procedure is in the owner’s manual. You have to keep opening them to let the air out while the engine warms up. You have to at least get warm enough to open the thermostat. Speaking of the thermostat, I replaced my thermostat housing which came with a new bleed screw, replacing the one on the right. The new one was 8mm instead of 7mm, so I have a different nut driver on each side.

Omg, Thank you. You saved my ass with your good teachin'

Didn't have to use 10mm to remove whole bleeder screw, supposed to use a 7mm to just loosen top portion of bleeder. Bleeder is made in 2 pieces. Top piece of bleeder has a hole on each side of it and has a needle point to seal it. After 1st. Bleed on each side run engine then use 7mm to just loosen each side and bleed again. I found it may take a few times to get all air out of cooling system!

Mine were corroded stuck that’s why I loosen the whole thing.

You helped me thank u

No problem

I see your wipers shut off in the up position like mine are doing right now. If I turn them on intermittent delay, and then off they go down like their supposed too, but when I turn them off without the delay, they go straight up...lol. Actually not a bad thing in the winter, makes it easier than trying to dig out the wipers when they're parked in the correct position from snow and ice.

Lol

I think I did it the hard way. I put a 2 L bottle flipped upside down cut bottom off and use that as an air bubble trap .I use a socket with long extension to tap it over the air bleed pipe I then let the antifreeze and air bubbles rise with engine running.I then take a 1/4 socket put electrical tape in the socket put 1/4” bleeding nut with long extension to threaded it.takes awhile but works

The rear heat controls don’t do anything when you turn them on at the front. You have to set the knob up front to “R” meaning “Rear” to give control of the rear heater to rear passengers. Well, at least there’s no way we’re forgetting the rear when following this video. :)

Keep using that Dex cool so you ll have to repace the intake gaskets. Use the green antifreeze. Doesn't eat the intake gaskets.

Do you need to drain the old liquid and put a new one? Or just add more on top of it

[@gerodriguez1993]

My 04 Chevy Venture still overheating after replacing the water pump. I even did the water bottle trick on the passenger side bleeder valve and it’s topped off with coolant no leaks and the heat works but on a stop it overheats idk why but when my ac is on it stays cool I’m confused need help!

[@ProblemSolverGarage]

Does your radiator fan turn on? You can bypass it and make it run all the time

[@gerodriguez1993]

@@ProblemSolverGarage I believe so I didn’t have any overheating issues prior to the water pump replacement. And when I turn my ac in I see both fans working but idk if that means they are working fine

[@Deeno282]

My blower is working but no heat is coming out could this be my problem?

[@krucemiller1342]

Did you drain all the coolant before doing this

[@ProblemSolverGarage]

I did, I changed the head gasket
