Dexcool coolant is probbaly clogged up. I bet you've never changed it in those 150,000 miles, an it MUST be changed at 100 or you will have issues. Why keep driving it when you're that hot? Pull over and cool down.
Overly hot coolant isn't going to damage anything. And, it'll take a lot longer than you may think before the engine and transmission oil begins to overheat because of the overly hot coolant.
Time to clean the stack! Remove intercooler and properly clean out radiator trash and debris,flush and fill cooling system and it will likely fix your issue...
Ok guys, Im going to TRY to save this guy's rear: Well, his video shows that the outside temp was on the high 80s, still, they were using the truck's cabin heater (I guess) to "disipate" the engine's (coolant [if any]) high temp, so maybe that is why he kept the engine running. Moreover, video also showed that A/C was active but possibly not on because of the cabin's heater. Still, it is very fool to keep an engine running when it is overheating, period. Furthermore, there is no proof to say that this truck was towing, but the cluster showed the truck was on towing mode. So yes, if the truck was towing, the engine was overheating, and the guy was driving/towing ON THE LEFT LANE (passing truck and trailers) this guy should have his driver license revoked FOR F*****G EVER Nah, Im not saving this guy's rear...
Guys I know that GM designed the exhaust to run by the drivers head well it messes up the head gasket believe me this was told when my brother had a GM tech fix his truck problem and buy dealership gaskets another thing is the injectors have a tube that the injectors go into and at the bottom a washer goes out that can cause bad blow by google it guys so you can read what’s up I hope this helps some of you guys another thing the injectors need to be torqued correct or the washer will mess up.
It was the ones coming out of the fire wall with the plastic fittings u can rent the pressure pump at AutoZone that hooks up to ur radiator and pressurize it that’s how I found my leak.
Okay I'm a ford fan but that has nothing to here, If I was driving I would have pulled over right away and put my emergency light on and let the engine cool down for about 20-30 minutes then check if the radiator is still hot if it is let it cool down when its cool add some water if I have any or go to the nearest gas station or store if I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere piss inside the radiator
I know this is a old video. You should run the AC on recalculation to reduce load and heat on engine. I could not tel in your video if you were running it that way. Nothing wrong with slowing down on a hill, when pulling a load, I can not tell from the video if your were pulling heavy.
Kevin Rogers It still shouldn't be overheating. those Duramaxs will put anything up and grade at any speed and stay a normal temp. One thing about the Duramax is that it has a BAD ASS cooling system on them.. he's probably got thermostats stuck closed or something
Dude I don’t like it if your truck acting weird your truck get too much steam easy shutdown engine you need heavy duty tow truck it will charge you I hate it
Alex Dragon my brothers truck was leaking antifreeze well it turned out that the head gaskets blow because the way the exhaust runs by the drivers side head so he replaced them both another thing where the tube is for the injectors there is a washer that goes out if not torqued correct trouble is on it’s way now water runs in the area of the injector tube google it and you will read what happens I hope this helps you and buy gaskets from the dealership.
Sooo...what your are saying is Ford trucks are perfect in every way ? No flaws at all ? Sure about that ? A simple search on "f150 problems" comes up quite a few results.
Probably pulling too fast or you might have a thermostat issue. Either way, pull over dummy.....you'll blow your motor.
I made it 80miles like this before 😂😂
Check if there is enough coolant, check pump check fan and check if the radiator is clogged
Don't know why every ones hating on ford chevy and dodge. They all have their problems
Alexander Lawn Services yup Toyota trucks have recalls out there ASS
If this trucks engine survive from driving that much time at that temperature oh boy your truck its immortal
You mean hes repair gonna cost a lot of money in parts and labour!

@@bobalobalie the coolant heats up because of engine heat. And yes, overheated coolant can damage or destroy an engine
Fr mine bearly starts overheating and I pull over right away like wtf

John DiMartino let the engine cool off
Thank you will be doing this with my truck currently going through this
Duramax LLY's are prone to overheating when towing. I believe it's due to a design flaw. There's lots of info about it online.
Personally I've never had a problem with my LLY but hey not all the engines are EXACTLY the same
Oshy it's not an engine problem as much as an oil cooler problem and not getting enough air flow

And he just keeps driving it instead of stopping and letting it cool down 🤦🏻♂️
DmaxTraveler06 WHY ARE YOU STILL DRIVING THE TRUCK PULL OVER?????
Hahaha
drive it till the wheels fall off.. some people.. lol
Probably check it out at the next stop, probably just another 100 miles or so
Turn off your AC even if u put on max heat just turn off your ac!

I’m wondering if the motor is running to this day
you did run it hot so break downs later will happen.
LOL! The coolant ran hot not the engine dummy. And you can run for quite a while with overly hot coolant before the oils begin to overheat.
BewareTheIdes how is that so it’s not bad running it hot??
Turn your heater on it will release pressure roll the windows down!!!
lower radiator hose collapsing?
Found my problem it was just a leaking heater hose thanks tho
Where was that hose located at if u don’t mind telling me. I’m having that same issue and I sure have a leak.
It was the ones coming out of the fire wall with the plastic fittings u can rent the pressure pump at AutoZone that hooks up to ur radiator and pressurize it that’s how I found my leak.

+Ricky From Sunnyvale okay smart ass
What was wrong with it? Was anything damaged from the overheated coolant?
STOP THE TRUCK
YOU CANT JUST FILL THE COOLANT AT THE RESERVOIR TANK! ITS PROBABLY USER ERROR. JUST LIKE DRIVING IT HOT!
how do you stop the overheating its hard to pull over on sum freeways.
Flush out the radiator
Next time turn on the heat to full blast until u get to safe stop
Look at that gauge, too small of a sweep.
I know this is a old video. You should run the AC on recalculation to reduce load and heat on engine. I could not tel in your video if you were running it that way. Nothing wrong with slowing down on a hill, when pulling a load, I can not tell from the video if your were pulling heavy.
your towing and going up a hill and you got your foot down, no wonder ifsa over heating, the truck is telling you to back off some.
Kevin Rogers It still shouldn't be overheating. those Duramaxs will put anything up and grade at any speed and stay a normal temp. One thing about the Duramax is that it has a BAD ASS cooling system on them.. he's probably got thermostats stuck closed or something
Its overheating because its a slow heavy chevy
its a chevy
it's a shitty😂
Thermostat stuck closed
That should be a bad radiator cap.
Thats a real shmooo's answer.
And Mazdas
Dude I don’t like it if your truck acting weird your truck get too much steam easy shutdown engine you need heavy duty tow truck it will charge you I hate it
You are incoherent. speak properly dude YEHAAAAAR
My truck is doing the same thing did u fix the problem if yes can u tell me what it was ?
Alex Dragon my brothers truck was leaking antifreeze well it turned out that the head gaskets blow because the way the exhaust runs by the drivers side head so he replaced them both another thing where the tube is for the injectors there is a washer that goes out if not torqued correct trouble is on it’s way now water runs in the area of the injector tube google it and you will read what happens I hope this helps you and buy gaskets from the dealership.
Shoulda boughta FORD.

Ford us complete junk. They pull like a dog, and the best thing for ever had was a 7.3 powerstroke made by international.
5.4
Cam phasers endless problems
Just stop lol
