You helped me bro thank you. Putting coolant on the hose was brilliant. You helped a already stressed out distress guy
Dude I could kiss you right now. I spent hours on this thing and couldn't figure out why my engine was overheating. I had to change the coolant reservoir tank and some hoses, then it started overheating, You're a trick worked like a charm. So many people told me to do different things which would add a lot more work and money. You are a lifesaver. Thank you so much! I appreciate that. You're the man!
I replaced a broken heater hose connector. Followed all your steps and it fixed the menopausal symptoms of hot flashes my Tahoe was having. Thanks Doc!
Dude..... I've been fighting am overheating issue for a month after replacing water pump and radiator. I tried bleeding several different ways. And came across this. Had heat almost instantly after starting the truck, and so far so good since. Thank you so much!
Clutch tip at the end of a very frustrating day. Thank you Brofessor, your wisdom was vital to success!
I just want to thank you for this video. I have been working on my 2018 Silverado with 60,000 miles 5.3. The truck had intermittent overheating because of a stuck thermostat I replaced every single thing I can possibly think of, and no matter what it kept overheating. I finally did this and it’s freaking perfect. Thank you so much Hailey spent three weeks back-and-forth trying to figure this out. Thank you again!🎉
I recently purchased a 2000 Silverado with a low/no heat issue. I followed the instructions in your video and now I have Sahara desert levels of heat. I wanted to thank you for posting this video, it helped immensely. Happy New Year! 👍
Thanks Bro!!💯💪🏿 I had replaced all the water and heater hoses, thermostat, water pump and it started running hot!! Wasn't running hot before. Just was leaking water. So I was figuring maybe a bad water pump or thermostat. NOPE! I found your video with easy to follow instructions, and now its not running hot anymore. Thanks again!! 💯💪🏿🙂
Worked like a charm bro. I’ve got a turbo Silverado and I’ve deleted my overflow tank. This helped me fix my over heat issue. Brand new thermostat and water pump. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the video! I blew a coolant hose(cabin heat plastic quick connector).
Backfill the engine with upper hose did the trick!
You made my day! And saved my truck!
A genuine, simple video!
Thank you so much!
Definitely my next step! After changing so many parts in the way of fixing the overheating I missed this major step! Thanks! Totally deserves a sub! I sub’d
I have replaced just about everything. Still was running hot. Its 12:50p.m on 10-20-21. I tried this and my 2007 Chevy Tahoe has stop running hot. Thanks for this tip!
Danny I swear, you always make videos that support my causes. First with the g35 all the way back in 2017. The first time i ever worked on a car. Back today for my 04 Escalade
Elimination of the radiator cap is one stupid engineering decision.
Stupid people dont want stupid people getting burned.
having to do this is the dumbest shit i have seen. my wife loves her suburban, but god damn, i wish dodge made a bus like it, Chevy is just garbage.
Thank you so much! I just changed a stuck thermostat, and couldn't get all the air out of the system. You are a saint!!
thanks for the advice !!!!!!!!!!!!and this does work if anybody has a overheating problems this may work for u .thank u Dannys Johnsons Garage ur a life saver
Very good video. Did my R & R of the radiator today. I did a slightly different method of filling the radiator. I did leave the top hose connected to the thermostat housing, and did fill it as you said. I found that a piece of 3/4" flexible electrical conduit slipped into the top hose outlet on the radiator with a snug, leak free fit. Filled the radiator till coolant just came out, then slipped the pre-filled top hose on quickly. I think your way of filling the radiator is the best way. Thanks again.
Hey man thank you for your video you help me out with my truck problem YOU R THE BEST
I’m gonna try this today now. Been fighting luke warm heat all winter. Thought it was a clogged core, but it’s fine. Noticed it happened after doing a water pump. Flushed the whole system today and same symptoms. Makes complete sense now. We both got SY cobras and gmt800s haha
Thanks Man, this video saved my ass today after I replaced my water pump. At first all it was pumping was air, had to fill it as you showed 2 times before it started working right. Too bad they couldn't put a fricken radiator cap on the radiator like back in the good old days.
Exactly! Without the cap people just dump in in the expansion tank and it overheats. Glad you got it!
There is a video on the utube, putting a normal cap on by splicing it into the top hose.....

Omg thanks brother. I changed everything and this worked instantly.
I have a 2004 Silverado z71 that was overheating due to a stuck thermostat( lower hose cold- no coolant running through it). Changed the thermostat, replenish coolant through the expansion tank and overheating continued. I noted that there was no heat coming out of the vents event though the temp gauge was reaching almost to its hottest and at this point I knew there was a blockage issue or the water pump was bad. I got a coolant testing kit from the auto part store and system held pressure. At this point I was about to pursue the replacing of the water pump when I saw this video. To be honest, I didn’t have much faith on this procedure but I went ahead and refilled the system as directed in this video. My overheating problem got fixed !!!! Definitely try this before getting to more expensive/complicated repairs.
Thanks a lot man!!!
Did you drain the fluid that was in it and then refill?
Your a genius...I always have just toped of the reservoir...on like a dozen Tahoe's Silverado...u name it never had this problem but sure enough it fixed the shit . .thanks man
Broooooooo, did this and this helped cool my 07 escalade after water pump replacement
Thanks for this video bro really helped me a lot I had to do it twice after I changed my thermostat and engine temp sensor was my issues as well hope this helps out you guys
that was my exact problem after new water pump and thermostat forgot u have to bleed the system thanks a lot man
Thank You Danny! You saved me alot of Time and money!
Thank you so much for making this informative video!!!

You got it man ☝🏼 that fixed my problem ,,, I was 2 gallons low on antifreeze 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I'm glad you found the video!
2 whole gallons? Gah damm🤣
Just wanted to say thanks. I had already changed the thermostat and water pump when I came across your video, when it turns out the only problem was air in the system... DOH!!!
It’s the killer lol. Glad you found the video! Feel free to browse my playlist and subscribe if you haven’t! Thanks th-cam.com/play/PLIjr-uSYDZi5bgjpfPCFEe8dRfHaBK0HT.html
Appreciate this a lot my friend!
Good vid man ...subbed 👍
I changed the War I change the water pump on a 2011 Cadillac Escalade. The temperature before changing a water pump remains at half now it's 25% pass time most likely the problem
Alright guys if any of you have tried this and your upper hose gets really hot and boils still. Make sure your thermostat is good and if that checks out and you are certain that you don’t have any clogs. Try unplugging the intake hose on the heater core. I was having so many issues with my upper hose over heating and it would start getting too hot because I had air in my system. I tried doing this like 4 times and when I took the hose off my heater core it literally blew off so much air pressure out I instantly had a feeling that was my culprit. Plugged it back in and started her up and sure enough the car drank the rest of the coolant it needed to bleed out the rest of the air .
Is that what you would consider burp the system or just refill it
Hello, at what point would you add the coolant in the resovior? And after the procedure, would I need to start the truck and turn the heat on to bleed the air even further? A couple years ago I replaced every bit of my cooling system and forgot to the bleed the system, no issues overheating, but I noticed that when the winter time comes, the heat will work for a couple of minutes and then get cold, then back hot again. I assume this is an air pocket.
Should I run the truck with the heat on when I'm done or does the reservoir handle that automatically? Great video. It decreased my anxiety greatly! Thank you!
Run it with the heat on Full blast so that the coolant can also cycle through the heater core. Full as shown in the video to burp it
Will have to try this just replaced the radiator and now it doesn't even get to operating temp which is 210 and my heat is warm but not hot
Great tip, just replaced radiator and now it’s overheating again. Gunna give it a try
Did it work?
@@nicks7434 I am wondering the same thing
Thanks
Ok- so to back fill with coolant I am disconnecting the hose from the radiator and pouring it directly into the motor? Is that correct? I've been fighting my system for 5 days. Also, just to ensure I do this correctly, I am making sure the motor is cold when I do this? Correct?
Correct. If the engine is hot it could burn you and will spray everywhere from the pressure. Yes, Pour into the hose so it goes directly into the radiator, and have the expansion tank off so it can flow without pressure.
Question. Is it normal that if I take off the cap on the expansion tank whit he engine off and the I turn the engine on the boiling water raise up in about 5 mimutes and start it trow the water out? All this whit the engine already warm. I have a 2007 Silverado 5.3. Classic style
No, I’m guessing you need to burp the system, or you have another issue like a bad water pump or thermostat. Make sure the radiator is actually full as seen in this video
Nice floor!
Thanks. I have an install and review playlist for it. Rust-Oleum Floor Coating Polycuramine

I still got air in my system but it doesn't overheat
Should I leave the reservoir cap off while letting it come up to operating temp so that it let's the air escape?
It should be fine either way because there is room in the expansion tank for air to escape (de-gas tank as it’s called)
Can I do the same procedures in my2003 Chevy Tahoe?
Yes. It’s the same
Five hundred 20s not much will come out of you disconnect the hose at the top as shown in the video. Do it when the car is cold.
what if when i took off the hose from water pump coolant started spilling out the water pump does that mean system is already full ?
I would also pour it towards the radiator side and if it keeps pushing coolant out the thermostat end then, yes. Make sure the thermostat isn’t stuck closed
So my 04 gmc sierra isn't over heating. And yet after it warms up it takes a while for the heat to pump threw the vents. And I can smell almost a metallic smell coming threw the vents. And there isn't any codes popping up threw the code reader. I had the top end rebuilt and it was great then a year after I noticed white smoke and checked oil and coolant and both were clean. Then a year after being now the issues at the top are going on. Anyone know if this is the solution for my problem
Also after it warms up it almost sounds like the steering pump is gone. Has that whine to it. And I assure you it's not what's making the noise.
did you ever figure that out?
@@rmkurmit
Does hose have to be disconnected from both the water pump and the radiator? Or,can it be one or the other?
One or the other. Just gotta get the hose high in the air
@Danny Johnson’s Garage thank you. And to anybody who's curious, it definitely works!
So my truck temp maxed out i changed the water pump less than two years old filled it ran it still went all the way up. Changed the thermostat and temp sensor the system was full while changing the sensor nothing came out nothing but a drop. Is there a posobility that side of the cooling system is blocked causing this engine coolant hot issue? The radiator is good no leeks and fills up good the same as in this video.
Yeah, feel the hoses as the truck starts to warm up and see if any hoses are still cool. That would indicate a block. Perhaps the thermostat is in backwards
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage the thermostat wont even fit backwards. Im thinking it plugged up on the driver side because when i changed the temp sensor nothing came out but the system was full. I did what the video shows and after awhile it still got too hot so i shit it off and gave up for the night.There are no obvious signs of blown head gasket. New water pump , thermostat and temp sensor along with coolant.
@@samuelwalker6783 having the exact same issue. Did you ever figure it out ?
Yes i flushed it and refilled. Been fine since
@samuelwalker6783 I'm having same issue now. Radiator full etc pulled temp sensor no coolant came out. Run it hoses all stay cool. Did you have to drain all coolant and start over? What steps did you take to resolve this issue. Been a nightmare.
hey brother did this yesterday and when i start up an incline my temp will slowly rise to around 230-40 when i start down or level out it will pretty much immediately start cooling back to around 200. it's driving me nuts. have replaced every hose, clamp, and fitting including water pump in the cooling system any ideas???? thought maybe reservoir cap or bad thermostat but don't know
I would think the thermostat may have something to do with it if it’s not the water pump or burping. Worst case would be a bad head gasket and it’s trying to keep up
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage ok I just replace pump and thermostat about a month ago
If the overflow is higher than the radiator and engine, do you have to do that?
To fill the radiator first, yes. With the pressure, you’ll fill the expansion tank and it will slowly drain but not fast enough to fill the radiator.
I’m trying to do this after replacing my thermostat I opened the water pump side to fill the radiator and it started spilling out the water pump. I opened the radiator side and it started spilling out the radiator. I left it on with the cap off to burp it out and it started coming out of the cap. Any suggestions or thoughts?
Once it’s coming out both sides as you fill the other, the system should be full. From there also fill the degas tank and when it’s coming out all areas it’s full and you can put the hoses back on
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage I’m thinking it’s the radiator cause I panicked and put the tube back on the waterpump before I could try to fill it cause it was pouring out so fast, I then went to the radiator and as soon as I pulled it slightly I saw some drip out so I just left it alone. My friend is coming over as soon as it cools down to try and cover the water pump while I pour it down the tube to the radiator. I’ll let you know how it goes
How is it going to c9mw out of the radiator when it has to have the thermostat open to go through....mine just went into the overflow
Thermostats do not completely block it off, they only slow the flow down when closed
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage then why does coolant not come out of my radiator when I pour coolant into the upper hose...
The thermostat is brand new
Should I drain the fluid that’s in it and start fresh or just leave it in and fill like this??
If you’re just adding more fluid, just add more into the hose as shown here and burp it. If the coolant is very old it wouldn’t hurt to start fresh
Why not just flush the radiator through the overflow. It sets higher and should force the air out.
The expansion tank is intended to vent, and at a small rate, mostly vapor. You’re best off filling it as shown and allow the coolant level to rise and push out air, not cram it down the car’s throat so to speak 😉
Well I feel like a jackass, four silverados later.
It seems like a real pain in the ass to get air out of the system otherwise.
Love the video but the radiator cap Joke was not funny water everywhere
Weird. You can't just fill the radiator and squeeze the top hose and continue to fill the radiator tell it is done burping. Damn score 1 more point for ford over chevy.
Yea cause everyone 5.4 swaps everything..almost guy..almost..
