Water pump replacement, everything went smooth as clock work, but then overheating....thanks to your advice, problem solved.....i even have a heater now, not that i need it in this sh*t, but i will.....much appreciated
Hate to say it,,,, but this looks like something I'd do.. I put a brake pad on the back disk of my Ram 2500 with the metal side towards the rotor a couple weeks ago. Went out to bed them in.. Jolly good show, plus $$$. You explain shit very well. I'm 63 years old and I don't think I have ever bled air off a radiator..I guess I always thought I was overly smart about this. Turns out; not so much. I wish your shop was in Eastern Oregon. I'm getting to old to screw rigs up myself anymore. Need to finally let somebody work on them that knows what the hell they're doing for a change.
April Johnson Well I’m in Missouri near St. Louis. The cooling system may not have been properly bled after it was opened if it’s just overheating now.
Left cap on huh?🙄 Mine overheated today. Just got new water pump and thermostat. She's an 09 and has never overheated before... Yes, I know, maybe air...
So I hv a 2016 Dodge Ram bought it new. Never have I had any problems. I get it serviced. Take good care of it! The heater started acting up and stopped working about a month ago but then it started working again so I figured maybe nothing was wrong. Soo then a few days ago heater completely stopped working entirely and only cold air comes out! Cold air when it once was very warm and hot with heater. And my car randomly started making a small noise when driving that it never did before... it also felt like the car was not shifting gears almost like it was too accelerated when its on! It never did that before. My truck feels different. I’m not sure if it’s a water pipe or something else. I never get the engine light...Tonight the temperature (red) thermostat lit up red! And I looked and it was on max like the truck was overheating! Any thoughts on what this might be? This might be totally unrelated but someone was putting sugar in gas tanks around my neighborhood could this symptoms? I know nothing about mechanics and don’t want to be taken... thanks
The first thing you can check is the coolant level. There will be an easily accessible and labeled reservoir under the hood. Owners manual will point you in the right direction for exact location. The heater works in part by cycling hot antifreeze (coolant) through a heater core inside the dash. If heats not working, and now engine is overheating, the coolant is almost certainly low. You probably have a leak somewhere in the cooling system that needs to be addressed ASAP. Serious damage to your engine can occur if you continue to get it too hot. I recommend adding coolant and limping it to a shop before it gets worse.
Im having a problem with over heating too. Changed clutch fan, water pump and thermostat. Drive it for 10-15 minutes and the dash thermo gauge starts climbing to almost 260. I temped the thermostat housing with an infrared thermometer and it temped at 210. The upper hose is temping at 195°-200°. Lower water house is at about 165°. Any suggestions? Radiator maybe?
I got a problem of my my engine over heating at stop light my fan comes on when it wants to but once it comes on it stays on till it's cools then doesn't come back on
Getting hot while you aren’t moving is a pretty good sign the cooling fan is not working. A 2013 should have an electric fan located right behind the radiator. Start there.
50/50 mix is highway robbery. What you are buying is 1/2 gallon of antifreeze and 1/2 gallon of water..compare the cost of the water they are selling you.on the back of the antifreeze bottle should be a chart showing the percentage of antifreeze and water and give you the protection you will have at the different ratios. Running straight antifreeze is not good and running straight water is not good. Buy 100% antifreeze and mix it yourself.. you can use a measuring cup, a quart jar, a glass, anything that holds water. A 50/50 mix is the same as 1 to 1 . 1 cup of water and 1 cup of antifreeze achieves your 50/50 mix. Full strength antifreeze is $15.19 and 50/50 mix is $11.99 the only thing extra you get is a plastic jug.
@@c50ge Ha, never thought of that, makes sense. What about using HARD water? My water is really bad, if it was any harder it'd knock you out when showering. A ton of minerals and such, I feel I would be damaging the cooling system or flushing twice as much.
@@cornfusedatbest3980 if you have a dehumidifier you can use the water from it or guy a gallon of distilled water from the grocery store for $1.34 also use distilled water for your car batteries.
@@c50ge Again, a great idea! I'm definitely into recycling. Thanks for your advice. Just goes to show you're never too old to learn something new and beneficial.
Well done Eric. Thank you

Great job and great explanation buddy.
Thank you but I found out what mine was it was the Fan Clutch on my 97 Dodge ram 2500 5.9 magnum gas, I replaced it and that helped :-)
Thank you bro do more videos !!! 😋

Dude I had the same problemmmmm!!! It is so easy to miss things like these as a mechanic especially when you fix several cars a day
Tell me about it! To be successful in this business you have to be fast, but precision is just as important!
Ur a real one
The radiator plug 😂😂😂
Wow, I need a guy like you to troubleshoot my 89 Dodge D-100 that just started some overheating mess after the thermostat got replaced...
April Johnson Well I’m in Missouri near St. Louis. The cooling system may not have been properly bled after it was opened if it’s just overheating now.
Skamps Automotive I’m in Kc Mo.🤜🏼 Any chance you can go over my 04 Ram
My 88 w100 is a bitch with heat no matter what I fix, she just runs hot
I got an 012 dodge ram two wheel drive. 5.7 hemi.
Its overheating had the thermostat change , new cluck fan , ran it still over heated!
Water pump?
Bypass hose or possible radiator cap if you didnt change out the waterpump with the fan
Gaskets probably
Left cap on huh?🙄
Mine overheated today. Just got new water pump and thermostat. She's an 09 and has never overheated before...
Yes, I know, maybe air...
Where can I find a thermostat that runs a little cooler than my standard thermostat?

What was it
Hey Boogie Woogie... what did you find out the problem to be?
what was your problem, got the same issue
I got a problem of my my engine over heating at stop light my fan comes on when it wants to but once it comes on it stays on till it's cools then doesn't come back on
@3:10 of the video how to properly bleed and fill up a coolant system
Looking for a mechanic I have a 97 1997 Dodge ram van wagon 2500 it's overheating and I changed I changed the the thermostat and the water
Where are you located
I have problem with my 2013 ...gets hot when my truck is on and stop ...can you give me any advice

hahaha I am cracking up dude. That's awesome.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I chuckled a lot. That’s hilarious
mine had a bleed screw by the waterneck , must bleed out air
Bleed screws make the process all the easier. Some cooling systems can be a real PITA to bleed!
What if you run 50/50 coolant, Should you use coolant instead of water? Thanx in advance.

Wow.
What if it boils over while your trying to bleed the radiator
It won’t if you have one of those funnels
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I would've been pissed lol 😆
Can't make this shit up...
Bruh...
LOL!
Are you serious? 😂
water pump
DAYUM
Hahahaha 😂
