Good job

Great video! An easier way to drain the overflow reservoir... 1. Open the Overflow Reservoir cap. 2. Disconnect the overflow hose from the radiator cap. 3. Hook the hose up to a Shop Vac (Wet and Dry Vac) and vacuum all of the coolant out of the bottle. (I just stuck the overflow hose in the Shop Vac hose and used my hand to seal it while it pulled out the coolant. I've used this same method to reverse drain\flush the heater core with great success.)

This never flushed the water out of the heater core and engine block. Only the radiator.

Very helpful thanks a lot!

2:15 Which direction do you turn the drain valve, Clockwise or Counter??? *EDIT* 2:54 Counter Clockwise....

The Mopar HOAT coolant has an orange tint to it, but not as strong as Dexcool. Zerex G-05 is gold in color, essentially the same as Ford gold.

Use distilled water. DO NOT USE TAP WATER! REPEAT DO NOT USE TAP WATER!

Why is your coolant orange not yellow?

I really liked this. Thanks for showing the entire process. But, given you have a cold air intake wouldn't it be best to cover the filter so you don't suck in any of that water into the engine?

This guy is a G . Thank you .

All of you need to start reading the technical service manuals…for starters flushing the engine does not require cutting anything. You pull the top radiator hose and thermostat, disconnect the bottom radiator hose from the water pump and use a flush gun. You can flush the heater core using the two hoses disconnected from the engine side and, again, not cut anything. The radiator must have vacuum pulled to remove air from the system as well collapsing the upper and lower hoses when refilling. All you diy’ers are causing more problems than you’re fixing. Also, that coolant didn’t look that bad. Alot of coolant is maroon from the factory. My 2018 JK looks exactly like that with 40k miles. I am amazed at how long these things stay on the road given the shade tree mechanics.

Thanks so much for showing this man. I got it in by duct taping the button and using 2 needle nose pliers to squeeze the gear in on both sides.

You used tap water to flush it not a good idea

Do you have to cut your heater hoses? I would rather not.

Since you used the tap water left in the engine after flushing for part of your 50/50 mix, does that put your coolant at risk for premature failure?

Thanks for doing this. It will provide good guidance for me to do the job.

need to use distilled water flushing and or adding , to many minerals in tap water.

How do you know this system gets past the closed thermostat. I don't see everything in the block getting flushed out.

This video is very well shot - kudos to you sir

Ok jeep guys i screwed up, only because I'm a new jeep owner.. i have a 2012 jeep wrangler sport.. i started to loose heat couple weeks ago. so i watched a few UA-cam videos how to flush the heater coil. i flushed it fine and got heat back.. after that i checked the antifreeze seeing it was low.. i added some to the radiator. the jeep started to over heat going pass half to the next mark.. it has never gotten into the red.. so i changed the thermostat, and the coolant sensor on the motor.. ok still over heating.. come to find out i had used the OAT coolant.. when it should be the HOAT coolant.. my question is when i go to flush the motor and radiator and put the HOAT back in do you guys think it will stop the over heating issues or did i just screw up my whole damn motor..

Just curious, if you turn the heater on fully while flushing the engine will it also flush the heater core? or do you have to flush the heater core separately like in this video? Thanks.

All that work might aswell remove the hood

What are the odds this video is perfect

I got sea sick

Why cut factory hoses?

Nice to see that your neighbors don't mind you taking up 1/4 of the street when you have all that driveway to use in front of your house lol Nice video!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I never seen the flush T in use. Only connected, then taken off. I feel like a part was skipped.

My question is not related to flushing. I work at autozone. We sell cold air intake build kits for kN. Did u actually notice any benefit worth the expense. I know they are costly. Did u install it yourself?

BAD VIDEO! You move cam way too fast at critical junctures and don't zoom in when needed.

Crap video. Doesn't show anything close up well enough to make any sense of anything.

Its much easier to unhook them from the engine end than to cut them. I couldn't even watch after you cut the hoses.

Thanks I just did this repair in about 15 mins. Popped both covers and removed the handle plastic. Take tension off the handle. Lay down on the seat look up in and find the puzzle piece fitment inside looks like it only goes one way. Push it in place use a 1/4inch something and pop it the rest of the way in place. I can probably do it in less then 5 mins but hopefully it stays on. Thanks your video helped out alot.

Awesome man!! Thank you!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Grazie

Thanks for the advice that works great

This is a really poor video for what is actually complicated and scary to flush for someone who is not a mechanic. Flushing the radiator, cleaning the coolant container and flushing the heater core is easy. It's simple schematically. Drain the radiator, flush water in, the coolant reservoir disconnect it, dump it and hose the inside out and the heater core flush in on the outlet and out on the inlet into a bucket. Easy. However, the part that is complicated is the engine flush. On my own Jeep I see multiple connections, i can see the thermostat is on the upper radiator outlet hose. I see a lower radiator hose that I don't know what to do with and then bunch of connections on the left side of the engine after or before the heater core for the engine. At this most important part, the video is on crack with speed, shaking like a bad horror B-movie and really really really bad distracting music. Not enough detail of which hoses are what and I have no idea where or what the water pump looks like because it is not pointed out to me. If I knew these things I would not have to watch a video and this is why I'm watching a video...to learn and do it myself. It's a circle with a bunch of connections. I get the concept but I have no idea what is flowing where and what connections are what after watching this.

Dude! Thank you so much for this video. I was able to fix my emergency break with the knowledge I got from this. For what its worth I was able to do all this with the handle still attached to the car (really had to because I didn't have the proper tools), but it was a pain in the ass. For anyone reading this in the future, pressing the button down moves a component that makes it a bit easier to squeeze the ratchet gear in there. Anyways, thank you!

Don’t feel bad, my jeep TJ original water pump only lasted 52,000 miles. Put another Mopar OEM water pump in and just changed it this weekend at 98,000 miles. Smh.

How much coolant does it take

I feel as if I am watching a movie.

Is it ok to use zerex 50/50 premix?

2019 jeep wrangler jl sport 3.6 does not have radiator or drain plug, so for this how do you flush and refill coolant on this jeep?

Tear down the entire front end to get a wrench on that drain valve where you can get enough torque to turn it past 90. I found it easier to just unbolt the radiator remove the hoses and pull the entire radiator out. If you have a Rubicon the sway bar disconnect motor is blocking where you can get your hand in there.

Is there a way you could do this without disconnecting the hoses and just open the radiator drain valve and feed the hose into the overflow tank, start it and let the water pump do the work? Wouldn't this eventually flush the system clean including the water pump, heater core and engine water passages? Asking because I want to do this on a 220k km JK which needs a new radiator. On another note this is the first major repair item I've had with this car. Well out of warranty now and want to DYI.

Thank you for this!

Nice video, Subscribed too

Kevin, thank you! Really well done!

Great video! What fenders are those? Look awesome

Were you running the engine when you flushed the radiator out with tap water?

Great music with video.. Great job..
