    Hi I installed an all-aluminium racing radiator in my Dodge ram v8 mainly because I did not want to go with a vinyl tank radiator again; vinyl tanks are crimped rather than welded. Six years ago I installed a new vinyl tank which started to leak for what ever reason. The thing is; the new aluminum radiator came with a 19psi pressure cap and it is bigger than the 18psi pressure cap which is recommended; so I can't replace the 19 with an 18. But should I be concerned with the 19 psi? Thank you for any thoughts. Frank

    Thanks your video was very simple and informative. I'm having issues with Toyota Tazz 1.3 carb that's overheating. No leaks of coolant and the top hose from cylinder head to the top of radiator gets extremely hot. The bottom hose stats cold even when the car is hot. The fan comes on and stays on as soon as the ignition is turned on even when the car is cold. I got an technician to check it out and he's advising me to add another thermostat switch in the bottom hose of the radiator that will solve the problem. I can't understand how this will solve the problem as the bottom hose doesn't get hot. Plz assist if possible. Thanking you in advance

    Whenever you see one hose hot and the other cold you can bet you have an issue with the flow. If the thermostat is not opening - coolant won't flow into the radiator, so the hose where the thermostat is will be cold. Another option - poor flow in the radiator (clogged radiator). I would agree with your mechanic and try changing the thermostat first though.

    How hot depends on a number of things, including variable outside the vehicle. The coolant does heat it up, but you also have (on many cars) the trans using part of it as a cooler. Then you have residual heat to deal with in the form of direct sun light, air temp (summer heat) and heat from the air conditioning condenser. The temp of the radiator is not as important as whether or not it's cooling the fluids to the correct range.

    when the engine cools it creates a vacuum and if the radiator cap is functioning correctly, the coolant will be drawn back into the radiator through the vacuum valve in the cap.

    Does the cap in the overflow bottle need to seal the air in it to create a vacuum? Can the yellow cap be opened and still operate properly?

    Yellow cap does not affect the vacuum, just make sure the hose from the radiator that goes to the overflow bottle goes all the way down to the bottom of the bottle.

    Just wondering ? does the radiator fans suck in air thru the rad to cool the coolant, or does the fans push air forward, thru the rad, and outside of the car. I get the impression after watching a couple videos including this one, that the rad fans suck in air from the outside, and thru the rad, thereby releasing this air under the hood of the car. I always thought the fans blow the air forward, and out the front of the radiator, but I think I'm wrong. Can you confirm this ? Thanks and great video. Certainly got a like from me :)
