David, Thank you for creating your videos. They are HUGELY HELPFUL !!! Please keep producing them !!!!

Thank you MotorCity Mechanic, your videos have helped me do a lot of projects to my Ram.

A professional mechanic. I have watched ten vids on the air pocket. This one had it all. Thanks David.

NIce ! I never even considered air trapped there , I always added antifreeze until it quit taking it . Very informative video and well presented , Thanks

You are awesome brother 👍🏻 my family and I have had 8 hemi powered mopars since 03 and we had to crack the seal for the very first time. Water pump went bad on my 2013 R/T. I replaced it yesterday with a mopar pump and this helped me bleed the system property. I will like and subscribe!

Thanks a lot. Just replaced my radiator in my 06 5.7 Charger Daytona. Your videos both helped me out a lot. Watched the video and got,it done within the hour.

I love it. I've had my nitro for a year and was pleasantly surprised that the 3.7 has a simular plug. It seems that all newer chryslers do. I use to do a simular procedure on previous cars by pulling an upper heater hose. I had a bad overheat once due to following the "run with the cap open" method.

Most dont know about the bleeder and others think you need to be running the engine to use it. Engine cold and plug removed...add until it comes out the hole. Simple enough and save alot of time. Thanks for watching and for the comment. Make sure to subscribe!

Dang. Got a blower port beside your Arby's to-go and hat is in race position. This dude is truly unstoppable. Thank you for the real vid, sir!

Heater hose connected to the coolant tank busted. Coolant kept making a weird gurgling noise when it was cooling down. This video helped me removed all that trapped air. Hope you continue making more of these cause it really saved me.

That's amazing thank you so much.. I was just about to fill everything and I realized I have to believe the air somehow. Really appreciate it brother, keep it up

Video is 5 years old but still very helpful. For anybody doing this on a jeep commander you will have to remove the box connecting to your air box and your throttle body to get to the bleeder valve. Once that box is out the way it’s clearly visible just like in the video

Part 2 of this video saved me because the bleeder screw was hot and I didnt have an allen wrench big to fit. So I used the coolant temp side.

I used your technique and it worked great. Thanks for taking time to make video.

working on a 5.7 Hemi dodge charger police edition. Vehicle was over heating while my daughter was driving. Thank God she pulled over and turned off the car. It did get hot enough to hiss from the radiator cap and spit out some coolant. I put a new thermostat and radiator cap. Car still overheated but temperature gauge was still in the middle. I believe air is in the system so tomorrow I will bleed it cold just like this video and change our the fan. Its one big fan....not two. I tested the fan by running a wire from the positive side of the battery to the positive side and the negative to the negative side of the plug in of the fan. Two wires going into a three prong but I aligned them with the wires. Fan wouldn't cut on. Fans wasn't working while car or AC running. No crack head or anything. No milky color on dip stick or inside where you pour in the oil. Coolant not leaking and water pump sounds fine. I'm thinking it has two issues.....air in the system and a bad fan. Will fix tomorrow. Your thoughts?

That was super helpful, I just replaced the leaking thermostat on my 5.7 ‘15 Challenger and bled it perfectly. Thank you!

Something you should also do while the car is running,turn on your heater in your car,that will open up your thermostat and will let you get the proper amount of coolant in your moter and also give you a more accurate level when filling your car with antifreeze,I did learn that.

Never knew this 5.7 had a bleeder valve. I definitely think you are a lifesaver. My engine didn't overheat, but the coolant reservoir acts like it wants to explode everyday. It's hot here in Texas, so I had to flush, and now bleed. I certainly hope that resolves the issue.

No engine lights, no sputtering! Just the temp gage went to red. So my dad and I replaced the thermostat. Which looked band new! So we replaced the water pump. It looked good when we got it off. Also the ECTS. Still over heated after adding 50/50 coolant! Then! I Found this video! So thanks!

Thanks a million my dude. My heater stopped blowing hot air so I replaced the thermostat...still didnt work. After a little research I stumbled upon this and tried it. There must have been a sizeable air bubble trapped because once I took out the plug I was able to add another 1/2 gallon of coolant and hot air returned! Subbed.

Started to drain the coolant. 1/4 of a bucket, that's it. Then pull the thermostat. The coolant was not full. I found the plug. That guy never bled the air out. Had to verify the bleed port. Thanks a lot. You answer my question. 🎉😊

Thanks David for sharing. My reservoir was bubbling after a test drive . I replaced the water pump initially and the bearings were terrible on the old pump. I put it back together and do a test and it begin to boil in the reservoir. I went to purchase a hex bit to bleed the pump. I poured 50/50 in and later it begin to come out the port. Now what? Help please. I have not started it and where is all that antifreeze going ?

According to the shop manual, there should be some cylinder block drain plugs as well. I'm trying to figure out where those are as well. This is really helpful however.

I may have stumbled on a better way. Last year when I had to replace my radiator, I left the upper radiator hose connected to the radiator. I pulled it up as high as I could and filled it up that way until the antifreeze started to come past the thermostat (it was bad and I didn't realize it at the time) today I replaced the water pump and filled it up the same way only I knew I would have to burp it. I took the bleeder screw out and I couldn't get much more than a spoon full before it was running out and that's with the front of the car jacked up. I'm sitting in it letting it idle now, have been for 30-45 minutes alternately running the heat and A/C to see if it'll overheat but it's running just fine, temperature is dead in the middle just like always.

Jiffy Lube refused to flush the coolant in my 07 Charger 5.7. Something about a TSB. Now I know why. They cannot or will not bleed it. I was adding refrigerant to my A/C and cracked the reservoir cap open. Apparently, I pushed air into the system somehow and it boiled over (read fine on the gauge) the next day. I parked it and will try this bleed procedure. Thank You for the fine video. FOLLOW-UP! The bleeding process worked. The air pocket was the whole problem.
