Fix Radiator Leak with this!✅

Most radiators have a connection nipple for a coolant line to the throttle body. It's for trucks that spend a lot of time in cold weather and the coolant is used to heat the throttle body. On most trucks, this nipple is capped closed. However, this cap deteriorates over time and causes a coolant leak or loss of coolant pressure. Use this HPS 3/8" cap from Amazon to ca the nipple.

Got a ‘95 and changed this thing probably 4 times by now. Going to check out these caps though! Hopefully it’ll be the last time in a while

[@TheMinuteMasters]

That’s what I’ve heard from guys who used other caps. I’ve heard one guy say he’s used this same cap and it’s been on there for three years.

[@elitethehawkk1816]

On the 300s, that line actually goes to the heater core hose, and the top still goes to overflow.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Interesting.

[@dawson_5.0]

your my favorite automotive youtube channel. keep it up man love it!💪🏼

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Thanks man!🤙 I appreciate it.
Will do!

[@iamgriff]

Fun fact: If that tube has blockage, the truck will idle high in the cold. keeping the timing and fuel advanced. Ruining your gas milage

[@TheMinuteMasters]

I didn’t know that! Thanks for sharing!🤙

[@iamgriff]

@@TheMinuteMasters I found that out the hard way. After throwing my wallet at the problem replacing the IAC, and the intake manifold

[@TheMinuteMasters]

@@TheMinuteMasters you’re the man, thank you

[@ToyManFlyer1100]

Gotta 1993 5.0/302 F150 XLT....Took all that tubing and stuff off...Spose to warm the Throttle body...Well, in Texas, it rarely gets cold.... Now I need to cap off the bottom of the Throttle body that goes to the water pump....My "List" keeps gitn longer....😂😂😂!!!

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Hahaha! Yup, you definitely don’t need that coolant line.

[@BroncosandPartsGarage]

Tell them how to plug the opening on the throttle body to. 😉

[@albertoacosta6788]

I got a pack at autozone for 2-5$ had to replace them at least every two years

[@TheMinuteMasters]

That’s what I heard from other people who used that same pack. This cap is beefy. I’d be disappointed if it leaked.

[@SarasotaBayOMC]

Bruh mine still goes to the trottle body lmao

[@Mr.Safety.]

You should do a tip on how to pull all the wayer plugs in the floor of the truck, to fill with fluid film to prevent rust, also, check your cowl seal, can leak water into your pcm

[@TheMinuteMasters]

That is a good idea. I will do a fluid film video for the video obvious rust spots.
I do need to check the cowl seal over my PCM just to make sure it’s not leaking.

[@Mr.Safety.]

@@TheMinuteMasters there is also a plug underneath each floor pan that leads to a cavity that can have water and dirt buildup, its one of those jobs where you gotta strip out your flooring and your seat, but its worth it, also! Theres a couple behind your seat, plugs that is that leads to yet another of these cavities, they are the main cause of floor pans and cab corners going to rust and rot, love the channel

[@TheMinuteMasters]

@@Mr.Safety. I remember seeing those plugs when I put bed liner on the floor of my cab. Not a bad idea.
Thanks man!🤙

[@Mr.Safety.]

@@TheMinuteMasters no problem, i live to see these trucks live

[@TheMinuteMasters]

@@Mr.Safety. Me too! My 2023 goal is to retire my truck as a DD so I can really take my time disassembling everything and thoroughly restore areas that need it.

[@bobbywren123]

Yep, had to do that to mine

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Just one of those minor things that ages and breaks.

[@ericrezac87]

I just replaced the bypass cap on my truck

[@allstarsalmeida]

Hello I own a 04 town car, I’m having this crazy stiff steering issue, I have replaced upper and lower steering shaft, power steering pump, and rack and pinion nothing has fixed it. Smh any recommendations before I throw this car in the river? Thank you in advance 😅

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Have you replaced the steering gear box?

[@russellbingham7901]

There is a sensor that adjust the steering pressure to the speed make sure it is good and check the wiring going to it

[@2k_Ferg]

What size I seen a few sizes ? Sorry if it’s a dumb question haha just got my first obs 5.8 liter.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Nope your hood man! 3/8” HPS cap from Amazon.

[@atticusjun1598]

If we have questions for you regarding other issues or ideas, is there anywhere we can ask?

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Yup! Or the channel Instagram.

[@DEVIL666wtf]

If I had too guess that's the wrong radiator for it same thing for my old truck they didn't have the right radiator in stock so I got one that had that and I hosed it off

[@TheMinuteMasters]

The wrong radiator for my truck?

[@anthonyreddy2834]

[@TheMinuteMasters]
