I live by this, I’m an independent contractor wrenching on heavy equipment for different railroad companies. When I first started out my tools were whatever I could get from Napas, HF, Tractor supply etc. Guess what, they still are lol. Now I make people’s yearly salary in a week and no matter how much money I make I’ll never justify spending $700 on 10 wrenches. Instead I take that money and buy heavy equipment so when theirs break down or they just want to have another machine on standby as a spare I lease it out to them for 8k-12k a month.

Nice video. Straight to the point on how to. Thank you.

Nice video and happy you are using this Harbor Freight kit. I was looking at picking it up.

Just what i needed ! thank you man!

I think I'll pick one up from Harbor Frieght tomorrow. I appreciate your no nonsense video. Nice and straight to the point 👍

Thank you. Great video.

Great video!

Thank you! Great video

I learned it really helps to have the key in the ignition (engine off/ignition On 2nd position), then set the heater on high with the fan on low while using this device to pull a vacuum on the cooling system. The heater on/fan on low, will ensure all the coolant is sucked also from the heater core, ensuring no air pockets are left there either.

Good video, Thank you! 😁

Awesome got mine and pull the bubble right out

Thank you for this video. I just finished putting a Whipple Gen 5, 3.0 on my 2018 Mustang, and I was worried about getting all the air pockets out of the engine coolant and the intercooler/heat exchanger system. A buddy lent me his Maddox kit, but I was not sure how to use it properly, and this video has taken the guesswork out of this little project.

Thanks for posting this with the harbor freight tools..I'd almost like a little more info on how many psi is equivalent with the gauge but I'll try to look that up

Bought one of these ..pretty nice

That cool no more turn on the engine or mess it up

Great ... but how does one expell the ever present residual old coolant trapped in various location within the system ? Other units sold include a 3rd valve and line that can be opened to expel that residual old fluid into a bucket, this unit does not have that capability.

That is nice to refill but in a closed system, how do you get coolant out of the block? Thank you.

Does all the coolant need to be flushed out first? Started to fill and can't get it to burp and didn't want to have to drain it again

Will this work on a radiator?

I guess you could also use this as a way to pressurize the system to easily find a leak, hook your regulated shop(15 psi or so) to the port that would normally suck up the coolant from your pan and just add pressure to the system. Right?

I use a hand pump that comes with radiator caps that are sealed and connect to the hose. 5 pumps and the gauge is at 10 psi, I let it sit for a moment and if it's leaking, I make sure it's not the test cap seal by pressing down on it. Usually what I find during a coolant leak test is head gasket or inside of the coolant wrapped pcv modules have a crack. I assume with the kit in this video that the cap doesn't seal for filling with air and you will have to press the rubber cone tip into the rubber cap fitting piece by hand for it to build up pressure if you can figure out way to use it as pressure.

If you don't have access to a radiator cap I'm assuming you just use the overflow tank to vac and fill? Correct? 2011 Buick Regal

Does the compressor size matter? I don't feel buying this and then dropping hundereds on a large compressor I'll probably only use once or twice a year. Wondering if I would be fine just picking up one of the small ones while I'm at Harbor.

it dose use alot of air. I believe the air requirements are on the website. I think if your compressor is large enough to run air tools it should work

Can I check for leaks without draining it ? Or does it need to be empty?

no major issues with it so far, I have used it on 15 to 20 vehicles and the only thing I have to complain about and it is pretty minor, is that some times it top part wants to push out if you are using one of the adapters. a simple readjustment seems to take care of it. no you don't have to bleed the cooling system afterwards, it is 100 percent ready to rock. it is pretty slick

To pull air from a Freestar.. I would remove radiator cap and then start it up, turn the heater on hot temp and low fan control, and wait for it to heat up and bubble the coolant after about 10-15 mins it should get hot and bubble out some air burps and the level of coolant should drop a little bit and you will want to add more to just half inch below the cap. Then put the cap on it and shut off the heater. Then shut off the car.. Then wait 5-10 mins or longer, 1 day etc, Then take it on a drive and test for difference. Shutting off the car afterwards will reset the sensors and ecu temp readings from previous and give the car a chance to startup with fresh ecu and coolant test parameters before test driving for changes.

What about the air you let in from the line before the anti freeze filled it?

For these types of refill kits you should bleed out the air from the coolant line prior to using on vehicle

That would be "lacking in air" considering you are under vacuum...

@fakenamejones4254

Жыл бұрын

It's minimal, but if you are worried about it, you close the fill hose when it sucks up some coolant. Then draw vacuum again, then open the now "primed" fill hose.

Can you use this to force coolant out after draining? Or does draining it with petcock and reservoir cap off generally do the trick?

@kylechristopherson4361

3 жыл бұрын

it is for vacuum filling and testing. there is no way to pressurize the system with this too. generally remove the cap and opening the petcock or removing the lower hose is the best way to drain.

yes, you need a compressor with a good size tank to operate this
