Why didn't you get the after market one ?

[@TRUCKINGTIPSDIY]

Hello, The aftermarket one wss causing my truck to get coolant pressure, since I put the original truck been working fine

[@truckingwithchrisandzeus2158]

@@TRUCKINGTIPSDIY what brand did you get and from where?

[@fernandomenjivar2418]

I got an aftermarket, since that there was too much coolant pressure, it didn’t leak coolant and not overheating, took the truck to the shop and they said the problem was the head gasket, or the air compressor, they charge me $1200 for an air compressor and the problem still was there , I decided to replace the expansion tank for a MAHLE and the problem was solved. High coolant pressure is not normal, mechanics say that when they can’t find the problem.

@@fernandomenjivar2418 so they pretty much took your money and didn’t fix shit.. hate those type of mechanics. File a dispute through your bank and get your money back

[@jordanhoffman2605]

I bought an aftermarket one and it lasted about a year before it cracked. The second time I spent the extra 200 bucks for the OEM.

[@brucemalcolm8401]

Thanks for the video man, the hose connector top right on my tank broke off in the hose. Watch your video and was able to replace the tank by myself, thanks again.

Very good video and helpful..please keep going make new video for simple job...thank you.

[@josueprophetcharles1627]

Thanks man I wish I had seen your video before freightline charge me $ 900 to put a reservoir that is crazy man.

[@TRUCKINGTIPSDIY]

they changed you 400 in labor or 900?

[@josueprophetcharles1627]

@@TRUCKINGTIPSDIY Between buying the reservoir coolant and install it, it cost me $ 900 out the door.

[@Armn9999]

@@josueprophetcharles1627they probably charged 400-500$ for the part and 2 hours of labor and then tax. If you can fix it yourself, don’t take it to a mechanic, especially to a dealer. These greedy bastards charge you 50$ for nuts and bolts

[@luismagana9784]

Thanks bro Mine leaking a bit but I’m just going to buy it now and get OEM!

[@wisdom9195]

My Amazon package is almost here, I’m about to start replacing it in a few hours lol

[@deeb1504]

How did that Amazon tank work for you?

[@truckinkw2]

Bought my cascrapia new. Yr 3 coolant reservoir leaking at a crack. Had Freightliner do it as i was on the road. It maybe lasted 2-3 yrs too, but it was giving me high pressure, very odd. Almost seemed like head gasket issue. POS freightliner design. I replaced it again at home myself with a cheaper after mkt one. That one is still in truck now, about 3 yrs old. So first two were original crap and higher cost. You can buy 3 or 4 with what dealer wants to charge. Cheap azz plastic design, they all used to be made of metal, never a problem with older trucks.

Grasias por el video me fue de mucha ayuda hoy cambie el mio grasias me oraste mucho dinero y Yo lo compre en eBay por $112 con censor y tapa

[@Mike-dt6um]

What’s the bottom tank for? It’s an over flow?

[@moneymikeslickwill8749]

I’m confused bro why drain the radiator I less it was for that lower hose

[@moneymikeslickwill8749]

Great video by the way I can’t believe people give TA and petro soo much $$$ for these easy task

[@TRUCKINGTIPSDIY]

Hello, you have to drain the radiador a little bit, like 5 gallons, so it wont spill coolant when you remove the hoses from the reservoir

[@TRUCKINGTIPSDIY]

i know right, they charge allot for this easy job

[@Rachid-zw9eu]

good video but i seen that sometimes is hard to take the top bolt off ........ what year was this truck?? thank you

[@TRUCKINGTIPSDIY]

hello, this is a 2013, but the radiator is like 2 years old, i have a video how to fix those bolts in case they get damaged, thanks for watching

[@Luxegeffrard]

I changed mine it keeps telling me my coolant is very low

[@ronaldwjackson1]

Did you jack truck up to get bucket underneath truck? Where did you get suction hose from to put coolant back in truck?

[@TRUCKINGTIPSDIY]

amzn.to/3lSCiWX

[@TRUCKINGTIPSDIY]

No the radiator on this truck is the short one, in some you do have to cut bucket

[@ronaldwjackson1]

Looking on my truck how do I catch 5 gallons of coolant with bucket can't get bucket underneath truck to radiator valve. Where you get suction hose from to pump radiator fluid in surge tank?

[@TRUCKINGTIPSDIY]

You can get it on Amazon,, Siphon Hose Pump

Hey bro , can you fix mine if I pay you ?

[@davidfs.6233]

Aftermarket on ebay,$$115.00

[@TRUCKINGTIPSDIY]

i recommend to get a original freightliner reservoir, i had problems with the aftermarket

[@TheFaze732]

How do you get the air out the system?

[@TRUCKINGTIPSDIY]

keep filling the reservoir with coolant to the max line (cap off), until it stops taking in coolant, the system will purge its self

[@TheFaze732]

Thanks man appreciate it

[@melvinhill629]

Did you have to put the fro t of the truck up on ramps to drain the coolant?

[@TRUCKINGTIPSDIY]

No a 5 gallon bucket will fit in there, if is doesn't is because it has the longer radiator, so ill just cut the 5 gallon bucket

[@melvinhill629]

@TRUCKING TIPS DIY thanks got it under there 5 gallons

[@juancantu876]

I just installed a new one. But it's getting all full. On the side to. My old one never did that. Does someone have an answer for that. On my old one the side was always empty.

[@TRUCKINGTIPSDIY]

Maybe it need to get primed, leave the truck running like 5 minutes, and un loosen the 2 caps one my one, some aire is going to come out, let me know if it worked

I will. Thanks for your help.
