Overheating Issue

[ronis]

My coolant bypass hose has ripped open I replaced the hose and still overheating. My thermostat is good and coolant levels is good also. Is there anything that I could look for to fix?

You likely have air trapped in the system. You need to burp the air out.

new thermostat, trying to burp air....

Hi, I replaced a leaking thermostat gasket, and threw in a new thermostat because I was in there. I have read the procedure where you take off the bleed valve on top of housing and fill radiator and then top off bleeder valve. A few issues I'm having: 1.) When I am filling up bleeder valve it...

I also noticed I had no heat and the temp would be a little above with the rad cap off but once cap on and pressurized temps went up. I noticed it was wet on my firewall/passenger seat foot well. It makes me also think it is a heater core. Going to bypass the heater core tmrw to see if that was also another issue.

I have two lines of some fluid underneath my dashboard on the firewall on the inside. No heat at all. Overheating before I changed the hose. I believe something with the heater core.

Yes, that's correct.

I have my heater hoses looped right now. I took out the thermostat for now. New Lower/Upper Radiator Hoses New Coolant Bypass Hose. I burped the system. Only thing left for me to think of would be the radiator.

any chance the thermostat could be stuck shut?

He removed the thermostat

The problem was the radiator and I have changed it. running no thermostat for about a day until I can take off the water neck. Temps are good so far but in jersey so the weather isn’t really warm.

Hey your figured it out! SWEET!

What type of radiator did you got with? Stock replacement of aftermarket?

 

[ronis]

I have two sn95 v6s one just for parts and ones the drift car. The parts one had a brand new one which i believe was replaced.

 

[96blak54]

Good deal. Im glad you got it figured out.

 

[white95]

Good job

Sounds like there’s an air pocket. Common problem with todays motors. That’s why we use a pressurized coolant system to refill radiators at the shop

Thanks for all the help appreciate it.

New Radiator fixed my problem threw the thermostat back in and all good.

I have a 2000 v6. Near the front of the intake manifold is a screw in hex sided riser that connects some coolant lines. It has a screw in plug in the very top which is also the highest point in the cooling system. I replaced the plug with a radiator drain valve. Now when I add coolant, I crack open the valve to bleed all of the trapped air/steam out of the cooling system and then close the valve.

I had an Oldsmobile that had 3.5 ( if I remember) that I did cooling system work and it took me 3 try’s to finally bleed the air out through the bleeders

check out a zero spill funnel for the radiator.
