Thanks

GREAT VIDEO, HOWEVER I STILL CAN'T FIGURE OU OUT WHY DODGE DURANGO ENGINE 4.7 OVERHEATING AFTER HEATING UP THE THURMASTAT IN WATER IT OPENED UP AND CLOSED IT ALSO FIT GOOD IN THURMASTAT LOCATION AND I DO HAVE HEAT COMING OUT OF HEATHER ,I ALSO FLUSHED REDIATOR AND DID BLEEDING JOB HOWEVER BLEEDING JOB NOT WORKING OUT I STILL SEE BUBBLES AIR. DON'T SEE ANY VACUME LEAKS I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO NEXT ..ANY SUGGESTIONS ADVICE
Use a spill proof funnel to fully bleed the system. Many RUclips videos on this
Sometime accelerating while bleeding can burp any air trapped in your system...
5 TOO 20 DOLLARS FOR A THURMASTAT ? I WAS JUST CHARGED 35 DOLLARS AT AUTO ZONE..I DIDN'T BUY IT 😅
