  • 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 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

    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!

    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!

    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.)

    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.👍

    @ronadamson4595 Před 3 měsíci +1

    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.

    Just got my 4.7 WK fixed today, was a bad t-stat and needed to bleed the air out which was done. There was such a big air lock in it that kept the coolant from flowing that we cleared up ultimately that all I know, is I'm glad it is done now and I made sure it wasn't getting past the mid-point anymore for 6 mins or so and it stayed at N.O.T. (Normal Operating Temp). Good video.

    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.

    @Fastasfffboiii Před 2 lety +2

    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.

No wonder i kept hearing gurgling sound under my dash after i turn off my engine. Did a research about it and found out i have air in my cooling system. You're right.

Then I noticed the heater system worked. Good to go. After the car cooled down I topped up the coolant reservoir. Good to go. Took the truck on a 15 mile drive. Good to go. No leaks.

    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 !

      @@DEInTheGarage yo you said something about don't use the green coolant question for ya I had a 00 Chevy Impala 3.4l yes the motor that is notorious for blowing head gaskets because of them running hot and people not maintaining but here's the thing in the 3.4l it's said to use the orange dexcool well I hate that crap and I found that when I got a new radiator and started to use the green preston the engine ran cool land like a champ and not to mention every mechanic I talked to always recommends the old school green preston and is totally against that orange dexcool soo...... This story leads to my point and my question I just bought a dodge durango with the 4.7l magnum motor and was thinking about doing a tlc day with it and one of my plans was to flush the rad and fill her back up with some nice new stuff so when you said don't use the green fluid use another one your not talking about the orange dexcool stuff are you cause like I said I've had nothing but problems with that gelling up in the past and clogging rad, water pumps etc .. And everyone I know says the same thing and also are against it so I was just wondering is that what your saying to use in these motors?????

  • @chasermalloy7406
    @chasermalloy7406 Před 3 lety +2

    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 wish I would've seen this way sooner. But at least I caught this info before replacing my water pump. I've seen some symptoms of possible valve issues so I'm worried now I'm too late.

  • @danoakes4071

    The bleeder screw is superfluous on vehicles that have the expansion tanks. The 4.7L comes with the bleeder screw because the engine is sometimes used on vehicles, like yours; that don't have exspansion tanks. You can help it along if you pop the expansion tank lid when full cold for the first few days after refilling. Make sure you run the heater until it puts out hot air. If it doesn't, you may have a clog in the heater core, or lines. When gas no longer escapes when you pop the expansion tank lid at full cold, you're done.
