Man, you just help me with my issue. 2010 RT Chally 64k miles. Best explanation yet!
You should do more 5.7 hemi videos. Your vids are very helpful
I will certainly keep that in mind in the future. Thanks for watching and dont forget to subscribe.
SUPER knowledgeable mechanic who really KNOWS what he's talking about and explains it in a user-friendly way that most anyone can easily understand! THANKS for taking the time to help the rest of us out Sir!
Hey man, I don’t think you understand how helpful you were to me. Trying to deal with this seized bleeder valve and having to work night shifts and share my wife’s vehicle last two days and hours and hours of research you ended up helping. Thank you.
Same here! Stripped out the bleeder screw, did not think of the temp sensor.
Mine was tight, but I sprayed some spray on it and used a hammer to bang it. Using a bar like he did in this video will ensure you cause an issue.
You saved me on how to bleed our 2012 Chrysler 5.7 went to different store's even mopar nobody new what to do. Thank you.
Thanks for finding this video and for commenting as well.....glad I could help out. Now make sure to subscribe
@@MotorCityMechanic my sensor looks really old and I'm having trouble removing it to bleed. I was told i can just leave the coolant cap off and run it for 30 mins to bleed it, is that true?
I have to say that your videos are possibly the best "how to" video's that I have ever watched. Your are clear, concise and knowledgeable. Thank you for taking the time to help us all out. It is appreciated.
It's nice that there is a bleeder port to use. I recently had an overheating issue with my 5.7 Hemi Jeep. Replaced the thermostat and housing but that didn't do anything. Then it blew the upper radiator hose. So, I decided it was time to replace the stock water pump. Using your information, I was able to successfully bleed the system.
This dude imakes the best detailed videos I've seen yet
Absolutely amazing video and explanation. The previous owner stripped the bleeder value and this solution worked perfectly. The coolant temp is now operating at the right degrees. Thank you again!!!!
Great video David, Thanks for being informative and clean (mouthed) makes all the difference in the world. God bless
More video on HEMI please! I enjoy your video, well explained, understood, soft and clear.
George all the way from Namibia
This step really helped out Thanks A Lot! In my case it was a clogged radiator on a Ram 1500 5.7. It slowly built up heat up to 230 driving,but never boiled over. It took a long time to cool down.
Great videos man. Clear, to the point and getting the job done ! Thanks !
Fantastic video my friend,I like your serious no nonsense approach,good stuff.
Thanks, David. Good option to have, that bleeding through the temp sensor opening. Just did a water pump job on a 2012 Durango R/T with the 5.7 Hemi. I ran out of Teflon tape so just installed the temp sensor with none. Will go back later with the thread sealant (and also get more Teflon tape). I'm also getting an inch-pounds torque wrench, because mine does 10-150 ft.-lbs. Also, I subscribed because you're Chrysler-specific. Thanks again.
My tag line for my channel (although I rarely use it) is: "With options you always have tomorrow". I love options and you just added one. Thanks Dave.
No.....thank you Wyatt for the continued support!
Very helpful! My hemi had a lot of air to bleed out. Worked like a charm.
Perfect.. torque specs.... sign of a professional. Best to you and yours.
Many thanks Ray! Appreciate the feedback and for you watching. Make sure to subscribe
My man,I've looked at a lot of mechanic videos over the years.You are a cut above.I appreciate your no nonsense aproach,your knowledge and your delivery of the information,keep up the good work,very helpful Brother,God Bess ya.
Wow…..thank for those kind words! It’s greatly appreciated
David always love the videos you do on Hemi engines as I have a 07 300c 5.7 and had to change the water pump 4 times. They seem to leak behind the pump by the little gap next to Alt. 4th time is the charm it seems to work now no leaks I just added a little more silicone in that area. Keep up the good work David and thanks for showing where that bleeder plug is most auto part shops don’t know.
Thanks Robert. I need to eventually do a video on the waterpump on a Hemi....mine is seaping and covered under the extended warranty. Just have to find the time. Thanks for watching the videos and for following the channel.
Just want to say thank you very much for the video have been struggling with my 06 SRT8 for a couple of days I executed Plan B everything worked out perfectly once again thank you for your video👍👍👍👍👍
Glad you were able to get it handled and that the video helped. Thanks for watching and for being a loyal subscriber.
Thank youuu sirrrr this video was very very helpful the bleeder screw was not torn up but it had seized in the motor so I pulled the temp sensor, mannnn you’re the #GOAT 🐐🐐🐐 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💯💯💯✅✅✅
Good video. Just did my pump using the bleeder valve, and the coolant just went down a couple of times, but then I just topped it off, and it's all good!
David, another great and helpful video! Just one thing, when applying the high temp thread sealer, it should always be one thread back on the item it’s being used on to prevent it from eventually traveling around in the coolant. Again, great video and info, you guys are the best! Thank you.
David, GM... Great video and great information on bleeding the coolant system. I have the 6.4 Liter, 2012 Challenger SRT8. Your video was also well put together and professional.
Awesome ride you got there! Thanks for the great feedback and kind words. Make sure to enjoy the weekend!
@@MotorCityMechanic , Thanks David...You have a great weekend.
Very clever alternative, thanks. I was watching because I will be swapping the water pump and I'll use the normal bleeder. Thanks for that video too. Several hemi water pump videos replace the pump, but skipped the filling and bleeding tasks which are important.
Had to go with this method and the sensor to bleed my HEMI.
Jacked up the drivers side of the car to tilt it so all the air could escape the small pocket on the bleeder bolt side. Worked great!
Thanks man you are a life saver i was stuck because the bleeder is stripped
Seen that happen a few times and knew that had to be another way
Thanks a whole bunch for the video. I just swapped out the heater core in my 2006 jeep commander with the 5.7 hemi and tried the funnel trick but still wasn't getting the heat I was getting before the swap, so now I'll try your way and see if I get better results, wish me luck.
You save my engine from overheating today July 4, 2020 man I thank you very much for making this videoGot a new water pump they did not bleed 🩸 the cooling system!!🧨💪🏾BLM🏎
Not really
Thank you. I was in a jam on side of the road and now back in the road with no problems.
You make Great detailed videos! Thanks from DD TEAM RC !
I hope you make some decent coin doing the videos. Cause you deserve it. They are great. Thanks for all the helpful info presented in a straight forward way. Helped me a lot
Keep that info coming brotha,its really helpful!
This is what worked for me yesterday !!!, thanks for the tip!
Your welcome and glad that the video helped.
Many thanks for your detailed explanation! It helped me a lot to change the thermostat on my Chrysler 300C Hemi! 😊👍👌Best regards from Germany🙋
Great to hear!
Dude I just subscribed and liked your videos!!!
You are a life saver
I almost sold my jeep for scrap value you rock bud keep it up change the world
i love the hand gestures!
Great to meet you in person! Awesome video brother!
Many thanks man! Trying to catch up on emails, sorry for the delay. It was great to meet you as well. Again....thanks for stopping by and for commenting!
I'm new to being a hemi owner , 2012 5.7 and am nervous about my temp fluctuating from 195 to 223°.
Anyway you're my go to of all the others. Thanks and keep it up 👍👍
What did you end up doing?
That's awesome thanks so much appreciate your skill and knowledge
Thanks for this follow up/second-option, video brother. You are seriously one of the best! Great channel. Very happy subscriber. 👍🏼🇨🇦👍🏼🇨🇦

Thanks for the tips!
Your welcome. Thanks for watching and for commenting.....the support is always greatly appreciated
Good morning David. Thank you for the video. Good job. I appreciate your videos. Have a blessed and safe week.
Thanks Billy.....you do the same as well!
Great video! Have you possibly made one or are planning on recording a 5.7 challenger water pump replacement? That seems to be fairly common and would probably help out a lot of shade tree mechanics hemi owners like me
This guy is great!
Thanks for this David, I have an 07 Hemi in my Jeep and there is no way that bleed plug would come out. I have also used the Lisle radiator bleeder funnel system which works well on vehicles that are hard to bleed the air out of.
Extremely educational
Thanks Daniel! Appreciate the comments and for watching.
Thanks for the great tip.
Your welcome and thanks for watching.
Great video david
Thank you my brother!
Great video in Detail! Thanks much brotha...You should make more videos on 5.7L HEMIS we need your help brotha! Lol...Hope to see more videos...Thanks
Thanks Rafael. I will certainly keep that in mind. I appreciate the comment and for you watching the video. Make sure to subscribe if you havent already.
very helpfull, since my bleeder stuck/rounded allen drive.
MAN you saved my life great video
Glad I can help in anyway possible
Great video! Thanks!
I agree, you should do more 5.7 hemi videos Especially 2013.
Absolutamente Chingon !!!! Absolutely awesome !!!!
Thank you very much! I greatly appreciate it. Make sure to subscribe if you havent already.
I definitely learned something, thanks a lot!
Your welcome!
I remember back with my 82 024 with the 2.2 and the 90 shadow with the 2.5 I(recommended by the dodge club) replaced the bleed plug in the thermostat housing with nipple, elbow and pet cock or small valve, they also recommended drilling a small hole in the base of the thermostat itself, both worked wonders when changing fluid and bleeding air and living here in canada never affected the heat :)
I have heard a few people drilling the thermostat.....havent done it myself. I can see where it can help. Thanks for watching!
Awsome idea. I have a 2011 ram 5.7 hemi with a seized bleeder valve so I'm going to see if this tip works for me. I'm subscribing!
Many thanks Ryan. I hope this helps you and I appreciate you watching
Did it?
It sure did. Bleeder valve was seized and eventually stripping. This helped get the air out. Great idea.
@@ryanv7195 Damn sure did work 💪🏽
very well explained
Great info, Thanks!
Your welcome and I appreciate you watching Russel!
Great video
Many thanks!
Hola...
Qué buen video, trabajas muy bien.
Me gustaría que trabajaras mi Dodge, motor Hemi.
Saludos desde Guatemala.
Very helpful man
Good info! Thanks
Your welcome Daniel! Thanks for checking the video out.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for your shearing 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Your welcome and thanks for watching as always!
GREAT VIDEO THANKS!
Goood video I just did my water pump, same engine you are talking about thanks…
Another super helpful video! Would like to hear your experience and opinion on the 5.7 Hemi lifter tick and cam lobe and lifter roller failures. Seems like a way to common failure that doesn't have a 100% effective fix. Thanks!
90% of the ones we see are fleet vehicles.....and patrol cars. The issue with them is that they idle all day long in most cases and thats not a good thing especially when the oil pressure can get to single digits at times. Being that they idle all day long.....the idle time doesnt get factored into the oil change interval either. They typically go every 5000 which works great on a normal vehicle but not in this case.....that means in some cases once you factor in idle time (1 hr=30 miles driven) a 5000 mile oil change might actually be more like 10,000-12,000 in some cases we have seen. If you drive it normal and change the oil when your suppose to then you shouldnt have any issues. Thanks for watching and for asking. Make sure to subscribe.
This guy is the best!
Many thanks! Dont forget to subscribe.
Just Did! 👍
@@15DurangoRT Thanks
good tip
Thanks Glen
Cool video
You deserve it👍
Great how to video so anyone could do it
Thakz for u video it save me a couple or hundred $
Awesome! Always happy to help however I can
I couldn't remove the bleed plug in my 05 Hemi Magnum. I used one of those large funnels that attach to the overflow bottle and extended it up high. As the engine ran, it gurgled and gurgled and filled the system. It never overheated at all according to the gauge and the next day, the coolant was down just a little in the bottle. If i could get the plug out I would install a small valve that a tube could be attached to and avoid getting coolant on my belt.
good info i have a 3.6 in a jeep and its hard to get to the bleeder il have to try this on the 3.6 when i flush it
d pete unfortunately the temp sensor is not that easy to get to. I recommend working with the bleeder screw on the t-stat housing you can try using a 90 degree screw driver or gently grasp it with a set of pliers. Thanks for commenting and make sure to subscribe
What a great follow up video! As a guy that has replaced 4 water pumps (post warranty) any video from you about the Hemi is loved. I have a question, after the last water pump change I noticed my upper hose was collapsing after motor cooled down. I replaced the hose (it was time anyway) but the new one is also collapsing. New Radiator cap in order?
Could be a bad cap.....I havent seen that issue in a long time. Thats where I could start first for sure. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the great video with a lot of awesome information. I have 2013 Ram 2500 5.7 Hemi, noticed liquid on transmission pan, but didn't look like trans fluid. It looked more like coolant, but truck hasn't overheated or been abnormally hot. So I pressure tested cooling system....not sure what the correct PSI is for testing, but radiator cap reads "16 PSI" so I pumped the pressure to just under 15 PSI. After a few minutes, coolant was leaking out from under the pulley on the water pump...I think there's a weep hole there? Can you confirm if there is a weep hole and if so, does the leaking under pressure confirm that it's bad? Also, what is testing PSI for cooling system so I know what to stay under next time. Thanks again.
Thank you very much
You are welcome
Thanks for sharing..my time to replace mine
Good info
Thanks Kurt! Dont forget to subscribe
Hey David thank you for this informative video, I did the burping and I noticed that the once I started to add coolant in the radiator the coolant was coming out from the bleeding valve straight away so I assumed the coolant system is free from any stuck air. Two other things have been noticed the first is the radiator upper hose seems really firm and the other is the coolant reservoir is little bubbling after shutting off the engine after 30 min drive. Are these normal signs? I appreciate your reply
Thanks man!
Thanks for the video. One thing about fixing stuff is we all have our own methods. Personally speaking, I would rather go to a store and buy a 1/4" hex socket or allen wrench than mess with a plastic functioning temp sensor. But I know guys who drill a very small hole in thermostats also as their fix ?
Some thermostats have a small "rattle vent".....drilling a hole could help but it could affect the way that the system monitors the temp. What I mean is.....if the engine takes too long to warm up.....because of the hole allowing the coolant to bypass the valve and not get warmed up as designed.....it can cause a check engine light code. I too rather use the bleeder....plastic can get brittle over time. I have been getting alot of comments on the other related video about all the issues they have been running into and this version is just another option as in "worse case". Thanks Richard for watching!
Great vid. The way the bleeders are secured with some industrial strength thread seal seems make them quite hard to get out. Meanwhile, our 2006 WK 5.7 does not have the temp sensor. Seems a bit of a poor design to me.
I have a couple of questions for you regarding this sort of thing. A friend of mine just bought a used Ram pickup, (not sure what year but it's a Hemi) that's over heating badly. The former owner had replaced the thermostat and apparently that's when it started over heating. One question, is there a chance the guy put the thermostat in backward or wouldn't it fit that way? Also, what kind of anti freeze should I use? These videos are GREAT! Thank you for your time and efforts to help us out.
Very well done David. It's always great to learn new tricks for keeping our vehicles in top shape
Thanks for sharing
You sure your not a automotive shop teacher? Will there be a test at the end of these Hemi Videos?
Thanks Scott for watching and for the feedback. Shop teachers dont get pain enough in my opinion so its not for me. There is one test question......have you subscribed yet? lol
@@MotorCityMechanic long time ago.
@@scottgorman7166 Many thanks. Enjoy the weekend
Thank you!!!!! My bleeder screw is seized and I wanted to just kick the tire abs walk away like the movies 😂😂. Doing this in the morning!!!!
Excellent video! It has been a long time I haven't seen such a clear explanation! Quick question, please: can you tell me the normal running temperature for a Chrysler 300c 2011 in a 90 - 100 degree Florida area?
Oceanpointe Distributors Corp many thanks for the kind words. The normal temp range is half way on the gauge. Which is around 210ish give or take.. thanks for the question and make sure to subscribe
Great video . I have 6.4 hemi in my chrysler 300 can't seem to open the bleeder valve on the water pump . Will be going in through the temp sensor hole . Cars heat ATM works best while driving . I have air in the system .
Also make sure the bleed port on t-stat is on top when installing t-stat.
The easiest way to convert between foot and inch-pounds is 1-foot pound equals 12-inch pounds. Good video.
Exactly.....most people over look that. Thanks Andrew for watching and for the added tip. Make sure to subscribe.
Excellent tutorial. Just a quick question. Isn't the Jiggle Pin Weep Hole present in some thermostats preciselly to avoid bleeding the system?
Hey David, good info for a Hemi owner! Quick question...in the 08 300C, with 112K miles, should I replace the plugs with Platinum or stick with copper?
