this happened to my car air bubbles in my coolant system. my shop didnt do this when they put my block back in.. so i brought it back to my shop they got rid the air bubbles been driving my car few hours no more over heating temperature doesnt go to the H any more stays in the middle normal temp now...since the shop messed up they did it for free of course...yay.
I tried that with mine. My jk doesn’t overheat. It just gets hotter them normal when my ac is on. Still haven’t figured it out. I just don’t use ac at slow speeds. Next I’m taking my radiator out and cleaning it. It might be mud stuck in it. Idk. Lol just next thing on my list
So when I’m stuck in traffic, the temp goes up past the half mark and my heater starts to shoot cold air instead of hot air. When I’m driving, temp goes back to normal level and the heater starts to work again. Does burping the radiator fix this?
Stupid question. I have done this in my JK.. Question is with the funnel on and filled a little, when I squeeze the upper radiator hose air bubble form in the funnel, but I assume they always will by squeezing the upper hose with the cap open. In other words will there ever come a point when squeezing the upper hose will NOT induce bubbles?
If there is air in the system it can cause issues. Burping get the air out and make sure the system is flowing. Not too sure on the science of that so if someone wants to add some info feel free.
@@FloridaJeepRides Gotcha! I live in Ocala and it does get pretty damn cold here but not freezing. Thank you for posting this video, your view count probably went up a whole bunch just from me watching it a million times to make sure I got it right. It fixed my problem! ❤️
Hello! Yesterday i noticed my fan was running really loud, so i checked my coolant. There wasn't any in the resevoir, so i added some. Added too much & then it started overheating which it wasn't doing before. Removed as much as i could and got it before the max full line, but it's still overheating not long after turning it on & idling. Should i fry draining all the coolant & adding it back this way? O changed the thermostat back in January & haven't had any issues, no lights are coming on & other than the fan running, the car was driving fine before i added the coolant.
Anytime I have to add: I usually have to burp the system as well. You can do it by putting the front passenger side kind of up on a little bit of a hill or a car ramp. And then I just squeeze the radiator pipe to burp the air out. Always seems to help.
When you're a Renix owner watching for entertainment purposes. But appreciate that this is done so people can learn how to maintain a vehicles coolant system which tends to get neglected. Also why TPMS exists as folks do not check tire pressures, which is another example of neglect. Keep in mind that this is only one model of Jeep, though this is only what comes to minds when the word is said. Tomorrow is Jeeps "Birthday" as it came to be in 1941 as a service vehicle designed to be simple and straight forward for WWII.
Great info, tell me more about Renix... if people air down regularly then when they air back up it's like checking regularly. Tire pressure has a lot to do with cupping as well.
I have that same issue when parked or in traffic stop it get hot and the fan starts to sound very gogh but once I start driving it cools down and the fan turns off
If it's a sealed system it has to be filled from the highest opening. It's the radiator cap is non top then that's the fill point. Most oil change places can get the air out as well.
That’s still didn’t tell me where to add coolant if I just need to add coolant. I’m not even sure if I’m looking at the right reservoir. Why can’t I find a simple video that just shows me how to open a lid and poor cooling into the ride hole?????
When I add violent and burp the system I add it through the radiator cap. Not when it's hot of course. Then after I'm done with that I fill the reservoir.
Great information, I’m having that exact problem with AC ON, I’ll try this first , hopefully it’ll do the trick . Thank you !
Let's hope. The stress of overheating is real. It's been running at the right temp for over a year now.

Its easy to do and saves you some grief. You can pull up on a slight hill and let it out of the top as well.

Good to do - all the mud holes can clog up the radiator and reduce flow. I replaced mine around 4 years ago.
If it’s at low speeds it’s probably just a bad fan clutch, worth replacing they’re cheep and easy to install
Thank you very much sir. Was having heating issues with my Jeep and this fixed my problem. Quick and easy thank you for the help
You are very welcome. Glad to have helped
Thank you for sharing your video tutorials 🙏. I will try once I have the burping funnel for the radiator. It was very informative. Sending my support
You are welcome! We hope to get Steve back on the trails Saturday- Starting off on a very easy ride. Tosohatchee
I like to pat mine gently on the tailgate.
The new problem is when it hits 3500rpms it acts like limp mode.
@@FloridaJeepRides the same exact thing is happening to my jeep what did you have to do to fix it?
You win 😂

If there is air in the system it could be an issue. Fans should pull the air through but if an electrical fan is off the ac won't work right.

Make sure the Jeep is on a slight hill so the opening where the funnel goes is at the highest point of the system. Ramps work well.
Did it stop the overheating?
Yes it had been running much cooler.
Hello. Im new here. So why are you burping your vehicle's system using this method ??
If there is air in the system it can cause issues. Burping get the air out and make sure the system is flowing. Not too sure on the science of that so if someone wants to add some info feel free.
Don't you place your Jeep at an incline so that all the trapped air located towards the firewall makes its way forward and out the radiator?
Yes, I try to make the fill valve the highest point on the system.
That’s the full strength Zerex. Is it ok to just dump it in without diluting it?
Most of the time I have some water in the system to thin it out a bit. In Florida we seldom get any hard freezes.

I did this and the fluid boiled out of the funnel after running it on for 20 min ...what does this mean and how do you fix that?
That might be a thermostat issue. Not sure completely. But definitely something is heating it up.
I have that same issue when parked or in traffic stop it get hot and the fan starts to sound very gogh but once I start driving it cools down and the fan turns off
@@arelismcclure9446same
Why would the air get into the cooling system in the first place? Just curious. Couldnt it be exhaust gasses from a leaking head gasket?
If you change out your fluid- or in my case the thermostat case got a small hole.
If it's a 3.6 Penstar ,
Your oil cooler is leaking...
Id bet on it
How does this work on my 2019 jeep renegade sport?
If it's a sealed system it has to be filled from the highest opening. It's the radiator cap is non top then that's the fill point. Most oil change places can get the air out as well.
Before doing that do you need to take out some coolant first ? Or no?
I did not take any out. I just got the air out and its been doing fine.
Will this work on 08 jeep patriot?
Not too sure. If it's a sealed system it may be a different process
How the hell do you get the air out of a JL!? There is no radiator cap to burp
That's a good question, if anyone Has an answer we will post it.
Same process but using the coolant fill reservoir.
That’s still didn’t tell me where to add coolant if I just need to add coolant. I’m not even sure if I’m looking at the right reservoir. Why can’t I find a simple video that just shows me how to open a lid and poor cooling into the ride hole?????

When i do this fluid comes pouring out of the radiator
The funnel helps, I have used a 2 liter soda bottle too
Great information as usual. Thanks for,posting. 👍
Thank you - Its a easy thing to miss. The funnel is on sale right now for $18.87 and works for multiple vehicles.
That is neat
Thanks
