Sir I watched your video only yesterday. I followed your advice and wrote down the Dorman Y part number. I went by auto zone here in the Memphis area yesterday. Today is 9-23-23 and I did exactly what you said, got up 530 this morning, drank some coffee, and got to work. It took me couple of hours but it's all done and NO LEAKS! You saved me a bunch of money! BTW, my truck is a 2007 silverado classic crewcab, 4.8 but it looks exactly the same as your video so far as the set up is concerned. Thanks again 😎

What can cause your vehicle to slowly reach operating temperature I’ve changed all my hoses the water pump radiator the T connectors thermostat twice new expansion tank flushed the cooling system until water came out clear the only thing I haven’t replaced is my heater and it find I flushed it as well until water came out clear I basically re did the whole cooling system and there are no leaks as I can see and my Yukon is not overheating just slowly rising to operating temperature. What would be your take on this my vehicle is a 2011 Yukon Denali xl 6.2 engine.

If you have a code scanner, even a cheap one, you could diagnose your temp sensor and or gauge pretty quickly. I would do that so you can find a definite answer. The code scanner will pull the accurate temperature from the ecu/ecm in real time. I'm curious to see would it match up with what the gauge is reading.

Oh, you gotta bleed the system. Remove the reservior cap and let the truck run. Watch the temperature hand closely. The hand will probably get close to running hot but it will eventually settle in the middle as the air escapes. Once it's running normal for 10 minutes or so, you can shut the vehicle down and then top the antifreeze off. You can also top it off as it is running during the bleeding process.

Do you have a video on heater core flush for this vehicle I was thinking of flushing through the hoses where the y connect is towards the water pump instead of unhooking hoses from the firewall since they are hard to get off. My heat is lukewarm but not hot I’m thinking it might just need flushing anyway input you have would be great happy holidays
@TerenceDIY8 ай бұрын
I don't have a video, but have you checked your thermostat? If it's an original thermostat, years of coolant build up can cause it not to function properly. Although it's not running hot, it can result in the heat not getting hot. You can check by feeling the hoses going to the heater core to see if they are hot when the vehicle is up to temperature. Also, if that's not the case, I would flush the entire system by just disconneting the top radiator hose and run a garden hose there, remove the cap from the coolant reservior so the water can discharge from there and the radiator or vice versa. Then, fill it with concentrated coolant only adding 25 percent water to the mix.
