Coolant Flush and Refill (2005 Dodge Dakota 3.7L V6)

The following video is going to show you how to drain the old coolant out of the coolant reservoir and radiator, flush out the system with DISTILLED water, and then refill the system with Mopar 50/50 coolant on a Dodge Dakota. This process is similar for other vehicles. Here are the tools/materials you will need to complete this job at home:
-Drain pan 4.5 gallons: www.rockauto.c...
-Funnel Kit: www.amazon.com...
-Hand pump: www.amazon.com...
-Mopar Antifreeze (Concentrated, 1 gallon required): www.amazon.com...
ITS CHEAPER TO BUY IN CONCENTRATE AND MIX YOURSELF
-Distilled Water (3 gallons, 2 for the flush and 1 to mix with a gallon of antifreeze): Walmart
Camera: Hero 7 Black
Video editing software: Corel Video Studio

    Made the mistake of not burping my system properly after replacing radiator yesterday...pulled over before coolant hit 225 degrees...took a tow home so I didn’t need an engine replacement lol

    Wow! I'm sorry to hear that ! That funnel kit I used in this video is really helpful with getting the air out because of how it locks into the top of the radiator and allows fluid to sit in the top of the funnel while the vehicle is on you'll see it actually "burp" itself! Hope my video helps you get your vehicle back in working order !

    Shouldn’t you use Mopar Hoat coolant in your 2005 Dakota which is orange/pink in color?

    The coolant I used in this video is Mopar hoat (or oat), Organic Acid Technology, it states it on the back side of the coolant container. Its definitely pink in color, I think in my video I said its red but that statement was not correct.

    You also needed to drain the engine block of coolant and distilled water. After your flush, there was still a ton of distilled water in the block and heater lines such that when you drained it and added 50/50 mix, you would have diluted it significantly more because of all the undrained water that was till in the system.

    I repeated the cycling that water 3 times if I remember right and then added the coolant while the truck was running until it stopped taking in the fluid. Nobody takes the time to drain their whole engine block anyway 😂😂

    @@fishing_enc3343I get. I appreciate the video. The block and heater lines are connected to the radiator and reservoir. The reason I watched was to see either how you accessed the block drains or adjusted or adjusted the mix ratio for the water that was still inside there.
