I so loved your video. You got right down to the point smoothly, and it was easy to understand and follow. Where is your shop located, I would love to bring all my vehicles someday for service/s?
@@FierceMotorworks 🤣🤣🤣 Oh my gosh, my mistake, I thought I saw a video about your shop, I thought you were talking about a shop owned by you, I'm sorry and thanks for your reply. 😅😅😅🤭🫣😊
I really wish you filmed while you were doing it. I have overheating problem rn and while searching for answers I found your video to be the best information. unfortunately I can't see how to do it because you didn't record it 😢
Would it be possible to get the complete procedure for refilling with funnel? I screen shotted the page you showed for it but was hoping to see the next page! :)
I notice when I press the brake I get a pattern sort of squeeking sound, doesnt sound like metal on metal I'm about to change my brake pads to see if thats the culprit but wanted to check on hear if anyones had this happen and what it ended up being just to save myself the time
It is possible to do (I think). My Dart is a manual transmission, and I haven't looked into how to change the oil. If you or your son plan on turning wrenches yourselves, I highly recommend finding the factory service manuals. It has everything you need, descriptions, diagrams, and torque specs.
Hello, I had to change the radiator on my car, I put it on myself and added Coolant as usual. when i start engine the radiator Fan starts spinning and the temperature does not exceed 85 degrees Celsius. Can you tell me what it could be?
If the radiator fan turns on, it means the car is opening the thermostat and cycling coolant through the radiator to cool down. 85 degrees Celsius is fairly normal. If it goes much hotter than 85, you risk overheating. It sounds like the car is cooling itself normally.
Does anyone know the bushing size. Im not sure i want to spend that kind of money. Will a 32mm fit in the coolant tank. Great video by the way. Sorry im a cheapskate 😊
Chris Fix has a great video for engine bay cleaning. The engine has a lot of aluminum, so rust prevention is pretty good from factory. If you live somewhere with snow and salt, try to wash it more often and flush the salt away and prevent it from eating through stuff
The factory coolant is a bright pink color. It may fade over time due to contamination from the engine to a light red or pink/light purple color. I would recommend replacing with the same thing. I went to the dealership and got 50/50 premixed coolant. If you already bought some, check the container to see if it is pre-mixed or concentrated. If it is concentrated, you will need to add distilled water to it.
@@FierceMotorworks I did not expect a reply so fast so that is awesome! I finally got the answer to the color question: When Fiat and Chrysler merged, they found they each had a pink and an orange coolant blend and it was causing confusion. To remedy this, they changed the coolant color in ~2014-2015 to the purple and reddish-orange for Domestic cars. Adding to my confusion is that my coolant was supposed to be changed last year at a service at my dealership. Turns out that the dealership never did the coolant flush they charged me for! They pulled up the record for the service and checked the serial number of the coolant they supposedly added and it came back to the purple. When I showed them pictures of the pink, they half-ass apologized but also said "you or someone else must have changed it since then". I was so confused as to why it was still pink since that was phased out!
The factory anti-freeze is more of a pink color. The main thing is to match whatever is already in the car. I replaced pink with pink, so if yours is green I would recommend replacing it with more green. The colors should all function about the same, just don't mix colors because that can cause problems.
You should fill to the max level line. Mine got a little overfull, but as the car ran and the coolant cycled through the system a few times, the level eventually dropped to the proper level. Also, I have a tiny pinhole leak somewhere, so I have to add a little bit of coolant every few months because it gets low.
I haven't used it before. If you decide to use it, you could mix it with the coolant in the bucket before using the vacuum tool to pull it into the car.
So you bleed the system with the cap on and just rev the rpm and have the heat blasting? Some people say to do it with the cap open so im a bit confused. Also, my water pump is leaking and i have work all week. Is it fine to drive it still aslong as i keep the reservoir full?
If the leak is slow, you should be able to drive it and keep adding coolant to keep it full. The darts have a pressurized coolant system, so the factory repair manual recommends bleeding the air (revving it with the heat blasting) while the cap is on.
@FierceMotorworks great thanks that will give me time to replace it on my days off. If i drive it Will Distilled water be ok to keep it full instead of wasting coolant since it is leaking or would you suggest to use coolant still? Also do you know why when I fill the coolant level, it gets empty while driving but once it cools down and I open the cap it gets back to full?
@FierceMotorworks Could it be air in the system stiil? If I choose to use distilled water. Will it throw off the 50/50 ratio to the point where i have to drain the coolant and use fresh new 50/50 or will I be ok using the same coolant after the water pump change? I had just put fresh 50/50 from fixing top radiator hose not too long ago.
@@fallenone6 If you use distilled water, it will throw off the ratio, so you would need to drain the coolant and install with fresh 50/50 to get back to the proper ratio, after you fix the water pump leak.
I purchased this one from Autozone. Currently this is listed for $230. I can't remember what I paid for mine. There are cheaper options out there, just find something that can fit under your vehicle and is rated for the weight.
Very informative and easy to follow. Thank you!
Very well made video. Thanks my son just got a Dart.
Thank you for making this video it's easy to follow and very informative.
💪😎👍
Thank you I enjoyed this and will be doing it on my 2015 dart!
When are you making more videos? I need more from you, you are amazing.
Thanks for the info 👍 great job

Thank you for the comment! Unfortunately my "garage" is not a public business, so I don't take clients or offer services at this time

That vacuum system is pretty neat. I didn't know they used tools like that.
It works really well to get the air bubbles out quickly
At 4.43 you can see a circular hole ahead of where your tube is coming out. You can go through that hole with your tubing.
I really wish you filmed while you were doing it. I have overheating problem rn and while searching for answers I found your video to be the best information. unfortunately I can't see how to do it because you didn't record it 😢
What part of the process are you referring to? I made this video a while ago, so I don't remember what I left out
Would it be possible to get the complete procedure for refilling with funnel? I screen shotted the page you showed for it but was hoping to see the next page! :)
Thanks for making it simple

Just subbed Can you do a transmission oil change for the dart

Do u still have the dart I was wanting to ask some questions if I could
I have one and got some questions
I just took the whole splash guard off since mine was broken anyway
Where can i get my hands on that dope beany?
I think I googled "dodge clothing" and found a website selling shirts and hats. There's a few out there.
@@FierceMotorworks i couldn't find it 😭 i did go to a dodge dealer and picked up a redeye beany its sweet but i still jock yours 👌
Can you make a video on engine bay cleaning and rust prevention?

This was really informative! However, I'm very confused because my coolant is bright pink and I don't know what to use to add to the system! LMAO

@@mindofmyown333 Glad you got an explanation for the coolant. Hope everything goes well for you and your Dart!
Mine had orange coolant when i flusehd it? Am I using the wrong one?
Is that the green antifreeze?
The factory anti-freeze is more of a pink color. The main thing is to match whatever is already in the car. I replaced pink with pink, so if yours is green I would recommend replacing it with more green. The colors should all function about the same, just don't mix colors because that can cause problems.
Inst the overflow tank way too full?
Should it not stay at the max level line?
You should fill to the max level line. Mine got a little overfull, but as the car ran and the coolant cycled through the system a few times, the level eventually dropped to the proper level.
Also, I have a tiny pinhole leak somewhere, so I have to add a little bit of coolant every few months because it gets low.
What do you think about adding Lucas super coolant to the reservoir with a 50/50 pre-mix coolant??
I haven't used it before. If you decide to use it, you could mix it with the coolant in the bucket before using the vacuum tool to pull it into the car.

@@fallenone6 You can use distilled water if it will never get below freezing. Not sure why it appears low but fills up after opening the cap.
@FierceMotorworks Could it be air in the system stiil?
