Good video! The music makes me feel like I'm in my favorite honky tonk, crying in my beer.

God work

[@michaela6796]

hey, that looked like Saratoga Springs, NY. 💚

[@LongbowMedia]

Indeed, it is!

[@sonofliam8601]

I noticed that the temp gauge at 2:52 reads little higher than halfway but below 3/4 in the video. I thats within normal operarting tempurature?

[@bonoc9799]

Thanks for the great video! Am I mistaken, or is there a blank space in the video description where the link to the video of the thermostat removal should be?

[@LongbowMedia]

You would be correct; seems I forgot to place the link in the description, lol.
I just added it but here it is as well: ua-cam.com/video/lkckoSvSM5w/v-deo.html

Hey man, think this would be similar to a b21ft?

[@malachicookston9191]

What if no flow comes out of drain petcock?

[@dildobaggins069]

I had the same issue, mine was clogged with crap and all you need is a piece of wire and just stab it in, wiggle it, and it will break the gunk loose

[@bengarrido638]

thank you. What do I do with the fluid water after draining or cleaning. How do I dispose?

[@LongbowMedia]

Some automotive places may take it, but chances are you may have to find out when your municipality has a scheduled recycle day.

[@louislang8897]

Thanks for all your videos! Where did you get the auxiliary temp gauge with numbers and others? I've seen them in the Bentley book, battery, etc. Would be a nice addition. Are the wires already back there as they are for adding a tach?

[@LongbowMedia]

These are aftermarket VDO Gauges. (Depending on the car, I use either the Cockpit or Vision Black series) There are no factory-ready wires for the aftermarket gauges, so they will have to be wired accordingly. I go into some detail about adding a water temperature gauge here: ua-cam.com/video/eUqyk2tfovw/v-deo.html

VOLVO FOR LIFE 🤣😁THIRTY YEARS AND JUST BROKE IN 92 740Wgn

[@bishopm4401]

That original coolant was straight up black!!! Wtf!!! 💀

[@LongbowMedia]

The black color is the Thermocure reacting to the rust in the cooling system.

[@bishopm4401]

@@LongbowMedia ahhhhhhh ok. I’ll try not to freak out then if I use that and see my shit turn black

[@LongbowMedia]

@@bishopm4401 If you use the Prestone Radiator Flush, it'll look more like dirty water, rather than mud.
