How to Bleed a Radiator - Jeep/Dodge 4.7L
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- The process for bleeding the radiator on a Jeep/Dodge 4.7L V* is not the same as in most vehicles. Improper bleeding of air from the syste, can lead to overheating and serious engine failures.
The vehicle in this video is a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ, but this process will be the same for all Jeep/Dodge 4.7L V8s.

I'm gonna tell you a story I have a 2013 Dodge ram 1500 started overheating don't know why so I changed out the water hose the thermostat still was overheating so I Changed out the Fan clutch new radiator new water pump still overheating I was at a low point of giving up Then I ask God for help he showed me your video I want to personally thank you sir your video just made my day now my truck Has stop overheating Working fine now GOD BLESS YOU
I identify with this comment.
Having issues, I kept saying my heat was too hot..they kept saying it's 20 years old.. just fill overflow, I wouldn't do it.. I WANTED TO KNOW WHY IT KEPT HAVING TO BE REFILLED.
I just sent this and another non dodge sponsored video, to my son in law for our LEARN A NEW THING A DAY DURING COVID.. LOL
In this video I learned also about the valves and can check those too.. I love this truck. The guy sold it to me maintained it for 18 years, now everyone wants me to just run it to the ground. I refuse. It was getting 18 to 20 mpg, now it's at 15. Because everyone said it couldn't be fixed. And this video shows what my concern was. You can't just fill overflow and be done, so many bring it to mechanic or dealer. When the issue is the bleeding and pressurization.
I hope I saved it, by not driving it while trying to troubleshoot it..
Everyone involved has learned a new thing, that this engine needs to be serviced correctly and not just fill overflow. So many can't get it, because they always just fill overflow in other vehicles. This is not the same type if system.. so get a her kit in your truck.. because if you have to add antifreeze, it's not a quick fix, until you can do this process in the middle of the night with no light.. lol and it's 22 degrees.. but after you do it a couple times when it's convenient, you might not get stuck like that. .
These tutorials are great.. even I can follow them.. I just need extra muscle to get the bolts out.. lol
Powerade , that’s a new one , how long should I let run and should I do this twice three times ? Should I put ac on high ? , should I push the coolant hoses , do I put cap on while cars on or off ,
I'm having the same problem with my 2010 Ram 1500. I changed the thermostat and the temperature went high. I followed the video and now it's good
YOUR OWN ASSUMPTIONS ELUTIONS IMIGOUSE THOUGHTS THAT GOD OR WHITE JESUS BLANCO DID ANYTHING FOR YOU ARE NOT FACT'S , BUT ASSUMPTIONS YOU PERSONALLY CHOSE TO BELIEVE AND HAVE BEEN IMPOSED BRAIN WASHED TOO BELIEVE NOT FACTS
Same here
A better way to fill and bleed the coolant is to remove that 8 mm plug,take a transmission funnel with the small end and screw it into the bleeder hole where the 8mm plug was,remove the radiator cap,fill the cooling system through the funnel until coolant comes out of the radiator where the cap was.basically you are reverse bleeding it.i do it all the time at the Chrysler dealership I work at.this method works well quickly.
Thank you sir will try this
it's always little sneaky issues like this that kill perfectly fine vehicles... thanks for spreading awareness!!
This explains so much! Ive never heard about this before and doubt anyone whos owned or serviced this jeep before me knew either. Thank you for your knowledge!
I’ve done this procedure on my 3.7, basically same engine layout, it’s no big deal and very easy (simply watch for bubbles and take your time)
I have a 05 jeep with that 4.7. sunk it in some water put a new motor not a used one but new. Put all new sensors ran all new vacuum lines new injectors coils plugs you name it I replaced it. I have a p0172 and p0175 bank 1 and 2 are running rich. I relocated the air filter to the top of the motor. That's the only thing I changed and I took the ac out and put a bypass pulley on it. Vacuum is at 19-20 idle fuel pressure is good 58-60 I'm lost at where to look next. My thoughts now is I put the air filter to close to the motor and it's getting way to hot of a air temp in the chamber. The way I think is the hotter the air into the motor the less oxygen available for proper running conditions. Any thoughts?
THANK YOU! Working on radiator replacement in the next few days. Waiting for parts. You saved me from a serious ASS REAMING from the wife. I can see it now! This radiator is a pain in the ass! I miss the simplicity of my 1970 F100. Thanks again!
Like many of these other comments I was almost at the point of giving up. I flushed the radiator, change the water pump, changed the thermostat but nothing stopped it from overheating. As soon as I did what you explained in this video I watched the bubbles come out for about 5 minutes. Now it's running perfect this saved my butt, thank you.
Thanks for the info. Just replaced the radiator and could not figure out why it kept spewing now i get it. Good motors but some design flaws for sure. Great to the point video with good volume and clarity. Thanks man
Thanks for the help. I just got done doing this on my Ram 4.7. My engine is actually running a little cooler now that I flushed it and put the right coolant in it.
It's so simple! Great video. Thank you for sharing this!
Many thanks! My son's 2005 Dodge 1500 4.7 liter overheated. I found that the waterpump was going out. So we replaced it. While there I decided to replace the lower hose. Hence all fluid ran out. Refilled and after a few minutes we overheated again. Upper hose hot and lower cold. That made me think the thermostat was stuck. So I finally found the dang thing. Never found one on the bottom before. Came across your video while looking for pointers on changing the thermostat. Hmm. We didn't do that. Followed your instructions and boom. It stayed at operating temp for a five mile trip in 2nd at 2500-3000rpms. I call this job done. Again thanks!
This is the exact reason I’ve had to rebuild my top end twice on my 06 Commander 4.7. Seeing this definitely shows me why I keep having the same issue thanks.
I have a 2003 Ram with a 4.7. Overheated a year ago, replaced the thermostat and changed the coolant, but I hadn't taken it on any long trips or pulled anything since so no problems. Today ,a year later, it was running at the top of the gage after a 50 mile trip. I remember bleeding it, but not quite this way. I will try it and let you know if it helps. Thanks for posting your video.
*Thank you, friend! This is a critically valuable piece of information. Bless you for sharing it.*
Walmart parking lot 🤣. Excuse me Wally world, do you have any 4.7 valve seats? Haha... I have a similar bleeder in the 5.7. it's actually a simple process. Great vid Doug!
I wish, right??
I was having over heating issues in my 4.7. It has a new water pump, thermostat and housing, brand new radiator and all hoses/clamps. I had no idea I had to do this. It's in an 03 dodge durango. Has 236,000 miles. Thanks man you probably just saved my motor.
Glad to be of help! This one almost got me as well on my first 4.7
Saw the port there wasn't sure how to exactly do it so I'm glade you made a video 👍
hey when i remove the upper rad bleed screw then remove the rad cap it shoots out of the hole why is this?
can i bleed it with the screw still threaded in a bit
I just rebuilt my 4.7 how long did it take you to burp the system completely? Mines going on 40 minutes now and I still see some bubbles
Doing mine right now, seems to take a while
How long did did it end up taking you if you remember?
Thanks for showing this. I rebuilt my 4.7, and the Chilton manual does not mention removing the bleeder to fill the coolant. What concerns me, is now I'm doubting their torque specs as well. Anyway, thanks again for the vid.
You show us after you have already completed the job I Wana Kno how much air we should be looking for to come out I mean I've watched it bubble for hours an still over heat I've replaced the heads timing chains set water pump radiator thermostat I even bypassed my heater core... I'm not sure wat I'm doing wrong ... Be going thru this for months now ...
didn't see the fan clutch in your list...
This works. I tried to bleed my system by just removing the radiator cap and elevating the front end of the truck and the heat would not come through and I saw no bubbles. I removed the valve he showed and left the cap off and instantly saw bubbles coming from the valve port. But do be aware if you don’t have a wide funnel to catch the coolant you will looses some. And possibly spill onto the engine causing a burning coolant smell. Obviously lol. But after about ten minutes the heat was melt my skin hot so ik it opened up and I shut the truck off and capped everything off. Be sure to take the vehicle on short drives and check the fluid level often when the vehicle is cold. To ensure you have the proper amount of coolant in the radiator, reservoir and engine. The AC blows penguins and the heat blows fire The engine temp stays optimum most of the time right behind the center line. Before it used to run slightly hot. I’ve replaced the water pump, radiator, radiator hoses, and thermostat. So I let a lot of air in. And this method definitely allowed the air to escape.
How long does it take you to get all the bubbles out
Great advice man! I'm getting ready to do a coolant flush today and I'm so grateful that i ran across your vid. I only wish i knew this a couple years ago. My 4.7L V8 in my Commander overheated for no apparent reason one day on the highway. I pulled over immediately, shut her down to avoid further damage, but it was already to late, motor blown. $6,000 later, my new crate motor just overheated but i was lucky this time and the motors good. I did notice that the guys who put the motor in must've filled the radiator as well and put some green colored shit in there, which was wrong since everyone should know that motor requires HOAT, which is an amber color! If they didnt even do that i doubt that they bled the system as you suggested in your video. Which is possibly why car overheated again. Well, they say if you want something done right then do it yourself and that's why I'm off to do my coolant flush right friggin' now! Peace✌️😁
For what it's worth, Prestone makes a HOAT, Aluminum head compatible antifreeze that is green. I don't think the "only orange" rule still applies 100%. However, unless you personally put it in yourself you can't be sure what it is.
This happed to my 01 Cherokee 4.7, except I pulled over before it got to the H, so far haven’t had any issues so I hope I didn’t do damage to the engine.
Aw😮🎉ny😅llamymaYjjmwsaka
Awoaa😅l😅l
I have a problem I have a Jeep Commander 2008 my wife overheated it after I changed the radiator I didn't know about the bleeding that won't start what's wrong with it or what do I do thanks
If you want to email me at dandeoff4road@gmail.com I can try to help you
what coolant do i need on 05 durango 4.7 i just been using universal coolant from advance auto parts and i believe it is green
Technicallu should be the orange HOAT stuff. ZEREX make some. G05 I believe.
Changed the waterpump the other day and still overheated.. wracking my brain 3 days now as to why, this explained it! Thanks man, I appreciate the video!
How long did it take you to bleed all the air out. I am 25 min in and still get bubbles out
@@jakepage2205 it took a GOOD 40 or so minutes.. it was a long while to be honest
@@stephenreynolds9546 that’s what I was reading on all data and ProDemand as well. I hate 4.7s 😂
I can't THANK YOU enough! I've already had to replace the engine in my 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 because of the dropped seat exactly as you explained ... Was running well until recently, started loosing coolant and not getting heat like I used to... I'm betting the mechanics that replaced the engine and radiator didn't do this .. gonna try it as soon as it cools down 🤞
Good luck!!
Same thing happened to in my 4.7L Commander. 6k for a new crate motor, ouch!
How long does this usually take? Have had mine going for 2+ hours now and still bubbling
Most likely you have a leak. I had the same issue. Mine (01 Durango with same engine) was at the auxiliary water pump close to the firewall. It was a slow leak but allowed air in. Add some dye and get the uv blacklight and glasses to find where.
Bro I'm literally stranded because my 07 Chrysler 300 was not done properly like this and the air was so build up that no coolant was even pushing through the radiator hose and it over heated, I shut my car off immediately checked the oil and it was so low from the heat it almost locked my motor up, but I had enough oil to keep adding to it and coolant to make it back to my place but now I'm waiting for someone to get off work so i can get a ride to the store to get antifreeze and oil and everything else but i swear all these other videos out here are not telling you about that bleeder and what upsets me the most is I had a shop do the work, "LITERALLY", I put oil and antifreeze stuff back in and only 10 minutes of driving back home every thing evaporated again from the heat because the Bleeder vault was not decompressed letting the air out in order for the fluid to circulate properly, I'm just hoping my head gasket is not cracked now but yeah thanks for the video going to do all this when they get off work every one needs to know about this video 💯👍
Yep, just like V12 Jags. There's a bleeder there so use it. The same thing happens on the Jags - dropped valve seats. The other thing people can't get though their head is that when a modern car ( mostly alloy heads or full alloy engines ) over heats, throws a belt or breaks a coolant hose or whatever you STOP. They still think well we're only 5 miles from home or the shop it'll be ok. Well it won't be ok. Even an expensive tow is way cheaper than a new engine.
I just purchased an 04 Ram 1500 with the 4.7. Had it start to run a little warm in a drive thru and two days later this video comes up. I know what I’m going to do soon. Haha. Thank you!
Hi, I have a jeep grand cherokee laredo 2001 4.0 my mechanic changed the head (as it has a fisure) and the gasket but now is over heating. coud it be bubbles in the cooling system? do you have some tips on how to burping the cooling system? thanks
"Doesn't have to be too tight, just snug" says the guy who almost had to use a breaker bar to get the plug off.😅
Good vid Doug. I'm one the few I know that had a 4.7L first out of my Jeep group so I had nobody to turn to for engine hints. I learned this trick from a guy on nagca that's a Mopar mechanic. He also confirmed that not doing this is a leading cause of blown head gaskets (due to the higher temps).
Keep up the great work.👍
Haha.. Yea, from the factory they have loctite on then which is concerning that it seems mine was still factory sealed...
Good point Doug.Usually,if you have air trapped in the system,your heater will blow cool air.
true!
You should not take the bleeder valve all the way off you lose too much coolant that's what I found loosen the bleeder tell the air starts coming out
Never had to use that spot on the hose lol and I never overheat
Hey Doug, just wanted to say a quick thanks for posting this one, as well as the water pump replacement video. The water pump started making a rattling/chirping/clanging noise, the bearings were about to give up the ghost. I remembered you had these vids, so I used them to double check that this was as simple of a job as it appeared, and you confirmed that for me. I live in a residential RV park, and they don't want us doing a lot of work on our vehicles here. This water pump was surprisingly quick/easy to replace!
Yea, coming from the 4.0 I was blown away by how easy it was to replace. No paper gaskets to scrape and plenty of room to work. Glad you found this helpful!
Super!! thank You for the quick video for this important task!! I appreciate you taking the time!! Remember, safety is no accident!! LoL
Exactly what I was looking for..Im.so scared to crack that bleed on my 06 Durango if they threads brake , here we go again.
On my 08 4.7L, I open the bleeder, top if off and close it back up. I run the engine with a Lisle (EPAuto Knock off) Spill Proof Radiator fill funnel with plenty of coolant in it. Run it with the heat on and just keep massaging the upper radiator hose until there's absolutely no air in the system. I've never run it with the bleeder off though. Hasn't been an issue in the 4x I've had to replace the coolant due to a water pump, radiator or just changing it out. But yes, 100% agree that that spot will be the cause of air pockets if you don't open it up and fill it up! Keep up the great vids!!! (Though, by 08, the reworked 4.7L is supposed to not have the valve seat dropping issue.)
Stock engine blew around 150,000 miles bought used Jeep 4.7 commander. Replaced with a rebuild engine , still have heating issues.... 🤦🏽♂️
My 4.7 Dakota has been overheating like crazy. I am trying thin tomorrow. Thx dude, it this works I’ll be really really happy
So I had a Dodge Dakota with a 5.9 I sold it and I bought one with a 4.7 long story but there was a reason. Anyways I've had problems with overheating because of bad thermostats I put a new thermostat in mine every year and a half because I'm buying the cheap Chinese made one so I bought the more expensive one this time long story short I couldn't understand what the little bleeder 8mm Allen screw was for but I ran across your video just trying to find out the best way to change out the thermostat it's in a crappy place.
So anyways my question is on mine the radiator fill is on the same hose that the 8 mm drain plug is (drivers side) not like on yours. So it seems to me if you run the motor with the radiator cap off should do the same thing as removing that 8 mm plug correct? Or not?
So my concern is I've run the truck hot more then a few times so what are the symptoms of dropping valve seats? What should I look for and what should I inspect I hope to hear back from you.
GREATI VIDEO ..last thing you wanna do is loose the bleeding plug screw , very difficult too come across another one .
Quite similar filling procedure to a Terminator 4.6L. V8.the bleeder is in a steel crossover tube at the front of the motor.A collision center failed to fill properly after repairs.Engine overheated with no warning,damaging the aluminum heads and the oil cooler adapter.Insurance company approved $6,000 worth of repairs.This was very informative,as a friend has one of these with overheating problems.
I have Ram 2500 5.7 with this same exact radiator setup and I’m so glad I saw this because I’m charging mine out today and would have never thought of doing this. Where would I find it on the 5.7 hemi?
Dose the apply to a 2008 Grand Cherokee Jeep Laredo 3.7L? Having overheating issues just replaced the thermostat but still overheating
Nice video man. I just got a 4.7 04 Durango, when I run it, after like around 30 mins if I stop at a light or stop. The temperature gauge will rise to the middle line or a little more above. But if I step on the gas it will go down. What can it be? I just got a thermostat, temperature sensor, and a cap... lol
So....at full cool down (2 days at rest), the coolant was gushing out when I started the engine. 05 ram 4.7l. I haven't been able to replicate this video. Am I looking at something bad, or is it normal? There's definitely air in the system because I can hear the brand new water pump cavitating. Water pump was replaced with new oil pump, timing components, fan clutch, t Stat, and radiator. Was not overheating this badly prior to the repairs 🤷🏻♂️
This video saved many lives !! I almost went berserker barrage with a sledgehammer after I switched out my water pump and radiator, and it was still overheating.
Thank you!!
Man I tried bleeding my system just like this wouldn’t work! At the they charged me almost $300 for bleeding the system. They said it was clogged that’s why I couldn’t bleed it. He said he “used a special tool” which BS but I don’t know why I couldn’t do it.
My doin the same thing I changed the thermostat but didn't bleed it I put some in the bleeder valve wit the car what should I do now wait till I coo then take the caps of the radiator and bleed it agin
December 7th 10:00 p.m. 2023 I have a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee just changed out the thermostat and check the fuses because my car was overheating I have been trying to get the air bubbles out of my system like on your video still getting bubbles in my overflow overflow tank have tried to get the bubbles out by opening up the valve at the same time ran car for 40 minutes and I'm still getting next I will try parking on a slope or using ramps to push the air out of my system thank you for your video and skills
I have an issue. When I fill up the coolant tank. Nothing is coming up this bleeder screw. Hemi 5.7 water seems stock somehow
I've had issues finding videos but yours is best for folks doing repair at home thanks for your time and help. I've had replace everything cooling system wise just finished at 1 this morning
That is a heck of a job! Hope this helped!
The WJ Gaurdian angel!! Thanks for the video you probably saved my WJ as well
I did what you say, I drove it for 5 minutes, the temperature went back up, the engine light came on, a bunch of white smoke from the exhaust pipe, and it stops due to overheating again
Also I mix the antifreeze with water because I was not sure the problem would be solve, I wanted to wait drain the water and put 100% antifreeze, now I don't know what to do.
I just put a new radiator in my 05 dodge Ram 4.7. Now it is overheating and not blowing heat. I got the air bubble out to the best of my ability but didn’t jack up the front end. Messed up thermostat maybe?. Before this the heat worked fine and it didn’t run hot but the rad had a significant leak.
hey I have a bunch of questions I have a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited with the 4.7L and I am having this same issue but little more complicated
Thanks!
Thank you so much. I was not aware of this procedure. I just replaced the heads and water pump on my 2003 JGC with the 4.7 HO engine. I performed this procedure and successfully removed the air that was in the system. Great content for shade tree mechanic’s like myself.
My 2000 Jeep Grand V8, 4.7L runs hot all the time. New radiator, a new water pump, and even bought a new thermostat at the dealer. 190 is too hot for any motor and it gets hotter than this. I have bled out the system 3 or 4 times. Is there a cooler thermostat.???
What if the bubbles don’t stop?
Clear and concise instructions. Thanks.
Andy
Nice, goin to do this on my 4.7 tomorrow. Already fixed a overheating issue with a new radiator, fan snd thermostat a couple years ago but might as well. Need to flush my heater core too, heat is WEAK. Cant let the ladies get cold riding shot gun. When i started it with the bleeder open it squirted coolany everwhere
Bought 4.7 and was running a little warm so i did this and it worked untill it started getting hot again. Over time started notici g coolant drop tho and unfortunately i think i picked it up wi5h 2 cracked cylinder heads😓3200$ and 1 year later running good untill it just now getting hot outside... now it wants to creep up again... very scary. I also had the hydraulic fan system exchanged for a fan clutch as i was not having any luck with the new ps hydraulic pump... now it has a smaller fan though and wondering if the smaller fan is the cause of it getting warmer than normal???
Thanks man what do I owe you? I don't know this guy but if he helped you I think it's worth sending him a dollar. Right now I'm really broke so but if I did have a dollar I would send it to him. Spent all my money on my truck
This particular engine, the 3.7 and 4.7 seem to have a lot of heat related head issues on the passenger side. I think the solution is to drop to a 180 or 160 thermostat to give more of a cushion to that passenger side head - which tends to run 30 degrees hotter than the drivers side head. The 195 thermostat leaves that passenger side head dangerously close to getting too hot.
I did this but still still overheats, replaced radiator due to crack. Replaced pump and T-stat because it was right there, any suggestions
I know a lot of folks who are "certain" they got all the air out, but they didnt actually. Also, make sure you hydro fan is operating properly
@@DEInTheGarage my hydro fan run off p.s oversized tires will make ps stress it making the fan not work right
I have been doing this for about 45 minutes, and it will NOT stop bubbling. Did I do something wrong?
I bled mine with radiator open and tryck running for 15-20min while rotating air and heat on high. Is this sufficient.
Best one so far, ima real girl, and can’t get anyone to listen that helps me , till I get upset. Anyway Good info, fast- short, to the point and SWEET!
Need help replaced water pump on 4.7 Durango and I’m doing what your showing but still getting hot replaced thermostat and housing with the flush still having same issue
So I did this but totally forgot to have the Jeep running… 😢
I drove it around for a couple minutes and I saw some antifreeze dripping to the ground. Did I just destroy my radiator?
Good afternoon, I have 4.7 today I tried to remove all the air bubbles, it took me 2 hours and I couldn't remove all the bubbles, I had to leave. Do I have to repeat this later? Is this sure to help remove all the air bubbles?
My liberty 3.7 L is the same setup. Unfortunately the previous owner wallered out the bleeder fitting and it cannot be removed. I even put some heat on it and vise grips with no luck. I filled mine through the top radiator hose and watched for bubbles in the coolant jug. Took me a couple hours but it finally ran cool. They are a pain in the butt !
i just bought a 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited 4.7l v8 i know nothing about this truck so when does this have to done? i just stumbled on this video. is this something you do like an oil change?
How much coolant should be used in this situation? 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
I got a 2015 grand Cherokee Limited. It has the plastic bleeder valve on that thermostat housing. Can I do it the same way?
I have a 2011 ram 1500 with the new 4.7 and i have changed all the plugs and wires and the ignition coils and i still have a misfire on cylinder 7 and i even changed the fuel injector and still getting the misfire cylinder 7 code.
Hey bud I have a question am having the same problem with my 01 dodge durango 4.7l I did the steps ran it for 1 hour the bubbles keep coming are they supposed to stop please reply need help
Learn something new everyday. Thanks for the video explanation.
Did not know how to purge you just saved me hours, a trip and probably lots of money greatly appreciated
Thank you so much for this info! Do you know where I can order this relieve valve? The one on my Jeep appears to be stripped. Please help! My local auto parts store have no clue what it is or where to find it.
Another tip: anything with a secondary heater core, turn the rear hvac unit to heat position (at the rear hvac unit control panel) so that the heater bypass valve opens.. took me 3 times bleeding from completely cold to figure that out.
I live in Cleveland where can I get my Dodge Dakota 2001 with a 4.7 heat fix fast I need heat I got money
Just want to say if it wasnt for you man i wouldnt have my 04 laredo up and running like a charm! Appreciate you man!
That is awesome! I am really glad to hear you found some help in our vids.
Chrysler 4,7 and Caddy northstar 4,6 dont like slightly overheating
Hey im still having issues did exactly what u said i have more air bubbles than i know what to do with also i have water shooting out bleeder like a foot and air bubble keep coming pls .advuse.
Will the jeep stall out if there is air bubbles in the system? I jad mine bled out, because i couldnt get the valve off, but its still stalling and temps getting hot. Should i do it again, but do it myself?
Are you 100% sure about the coolant being glycol with hoat ??? Mine is dodge dakota
Thank you so damn much.... I'm ripping the engine apart and everything else... friend borrowed it. Been over heating like mad and tried everything... thank you for THIS video my guy. Blessings
So glad you found it useful! Good luck!
The 3.7 v6 has the same bleeding procedure if im not mistaken.
I have put a four foot breaker bar on my bleeder and still cannot get it loose. I ended up using one of those “spill proof burping funnels” on the radiator cap. Would that still work because it would then be the highest point?
Awesome video brother, I would’ve fucked my engine up if I didn’t watch your video. I’m glad I did
Love hearing that. Glad we could help!
What can I do if this valve is stuck
I have an 02 Durango 4.7 and it's super stuck
Really saved my car from being sold. Really thankful for this vid
Question: When replacing the bleeder screw & radiator cap does the engine need to be running or does it need to be off when putting cap & bleeder screw back on? Or does it matter? Thanks for this video, very very helpful info!!
Engine should be running to circulate the coolant and bleed out the air. Once all air is out you instal the plug, shut it down and let it cool off
Hello love your videos bro i have a quick question does the 4.7 have a radiator fan relay like the 4.0 on the the jeep
