Thank you. I'm glad I could be of some help.

Yeah Gary, if you're getting a code as a result, I would switch back. I hope what caused your overheat issue isn't serious.

Did they break off flush, or are they sticking up a bit? If up, you can try welding fresh bolt heads on them so you can get them out, or clamp a vice grip on the tip and try to remove them. If flush, you will either need to try a back-out bit, or drill them out carefully, so you can insert helicoils and then thread in new bolts. Only other option is a new intake :(

Sorry for the delay. I only ever use one gasket. Thanks for watching!

@@justinloxley7300 Thanks. I still have not completed the repair yet because I am having a hard time getting the rest of the old gasket residue off. I kind of figured I should only use one of the gaskets.

@@mysterybuyer3738 I would try putting the old thermostat back in place if you have it, or a rag to protect the inlet, then apply a generous amount of goof off, goo gone or similar mild solvent to the remaining gasket. Let it really soak in, then remove the remnants with a razor blade. Good luck!

A fine grit sand paper works nice if you can get your fingers in there once you get all the old crap off just use a really fine sandpaper to clean it up.

Thanks DSX :)

Hey Joey. I'm sorry to hear it. It could be any of several problems. How long has the overheat problem been going on? Did it happen suddenly or gradually? Have you added anything to your radiator, such as radiator leak seal, head gasket repair, etc? Are you sure you got the right thermostat for your truck? And while I know it seems like a silly question this time of year... does your heater blow hot air? Your radiator or heater core may be clogged. Also (sorry to ask, but...) do you have the correct mix of coolant and water in your system and did you fill it cold, then run it with the cap off until it warmed up, then top off the fluid? Is everything else good? How long since your last oil change? Plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor button all good? Is your air filter clean? Is your serpentine belt good... tight? Is your fan clutch good and spinning your fan like a champ? Is your fan shroud intact, top and bottom? Give me some feedback and I'll do my best to help you out.

What's happening is my bottom radiator hose it gets fat like if no water is actually getting to the motor cuz everything is Flowing my radiator but when it gets going to from the radiator to the motor it's not to me seems like it's not receiving no antifreeze to the motor and once again my bottom radiator hose swells up without a thermostat do you know what the problem is

@@joeysoler5535 hard to say without being able to see it and having answers to questions. But it is most likely a clogged radiator and / or heater core. I would usually suggest attempting a flush before replacement, but if you have no coolant at all flowing through the lower hose, that would suggest a pretty severe clog. You can get a new radiator at Advance Auto for between $170 and $251, depending on which one you get. It is a pretty straight forward job.

No. I have on other vehicles, but not that one. Depending on vehicle, it is either an independent part that can be removed and replaced (hopefully, if you don't destroy the threads removing it), while others are part of the intake. I had to do a 4.6 mustang intake replacement because the inlet cracked at the base. Much easier to unscrew the bad and screw in the new. Unless, like I said, it goes wrong and you end up having to replace the manifold anyway.

My sincere apologies, William. I have been in a [figurative] coma for months and just now saw this. 1 - Are you running a 50/50 mixture of coolant / anti-freeze and water? 2 - Your radiator might be clogged up. 3 - Every once in a while, even a new thermostat can be defective. The only true way to check is to put the thermostat in a pot of water on the stove. Set the temp on the stove just above the temp of the thermostat. Once the stove reaches that temp, you will be able to see if the thermostat opens. If not, it is bad and needs replaced. 4 - Do you have an electric fan or pulley-driven clutch fan? If electric, make sure it is functioning. If clutch, the spring might be worn out. I'm guessing that after 2 months, you have already found your answer, but wanted to reply for the sake of others and to apologize to you for not being there when you needed an answer. I really am sorry.

William Kennison it could be cloge some wher you can't see so consider flushing everything.and it looks be time to replace raidator

Hey Jack. Yes, that's fine. Lots of people do that. Just try to keep a smooth, uniform bead and you will be good to go.

@@justinloxley7300 Big thanks for doing thos video!!

Lo siento, pero no tengo ni idea sin poder verlo. Podría ser uno de los muchos problemas. Desearía poder ayudar. La mejor de las suertes.

Yes?

Change the thermast like he showed you...are you putting right oil in?

@@kylephillips2386 Sold the truck, thanks for the reply tho!!

So sorry. Don't know how I missed this :(

So I was wondering if the head gasket is blown. The coolant burning off and oil leaking into coolant system.

Hello Tyga. Did you have a specific question that I can (try) to answer for you? Unfortunately, I did not produce a video when I did a complete front end tear down to replace timing gear and chains and water pump. And for the heater core, you have to remove the ENTIRE dash to replace it. Any chance it is just the hose that is leaking and not a damaged pump? And did you by any chance put any type of sealant (radiator or head gasket) into the radiator? If so, this more than likely clogged up your heater core which will cause the odor as well as the heat / defrost will not work.

Justin Loxley no i didnt use any stop leak, why did you end up changing these parts?

@@Mr.DIY69 Because I had over 300,000 miles on the engine and it needed to be done.

Where was yours leaking? Looks really wet at your thermo housing

@@Mr.DIY69 The hose at the water inlet housing had a split in it.

I have never used those in 36 years, so don't know what to tell you. Sorry.

I rarely use form-a-gasket / sealant. I scrape the metal clean with a razor or wire brush, making sure to remove all old residue, then install a new fel-pro gasket. I've never had an issue. If the housing is severely pitted, then I replace it. If the metal on the intake is pitted, then I might use some form-a-gasket.

The 2003 is the last year that they put the 5.9/360 in these trucks. The history of the progression and transition is actually very interesting. You should read about it.

5.9L (360)

Thanks, Keaton. I replied to Louis and stated that it was 5.9 (360)

Sorry, but I don't understand your comment. And no, it hasn't leaked in the last 4 years since I did the job.
