My truck has recently been having issues all around. From the cooling system acting up, to my mirror falling off, exhaust hanging low, gas gauge, etc... I think it was most definitely time to start tackling some of those issues.

These videos are awesome! I have a 1972 F-250 pickup myself that I work on and on almost all your videos I discover a new way to fix something or you give me ideas for the future. Never knew I could raise the fender like that, my gap is also very big. Keep 'em comin!

Craig to solve your mirror problem. the next time you are in the junkyard or at a swap meet, look for the mirror base off of a 1967 Ford f-100. they mount to the sheet metal above the windshield. they also have a place for the ends of the visor to hook onto.

+lilorbie lilorbie I did know that and I’ve contemplated doing it but I didn’t want people that know a thing or two about these trucks to see the mirror and think my truck is a 67 with a 71 grille. Or something weird like that. I may still do it if the thing falls off again. Thank you for the reminder I forgot about that. The downside is there aren’t any junkyards around me that have any 67 f100s..

Doesn't water have a higher boiling point than coolant? The coolant is mostly a lubricant. Because just straight water would corrode the coolant system.

Sorry, I think your analysis of the radiator is off. More water then coolant will cool better. Water is what does the cooling and the antifreeze keeps the system from rusting and freezing. In warm climates you can run 75% water for better cooling since you don't have to worry about the system freezing. Your right about bleeding the air out on how you did it, with the thermostat opening with the cap off, then top it off. But the cap spitting coolant out onto the engine, your conclusion is off I thing. The radiator cap on how it works, there are 2 seals on it. The inner seal, seals on the inner land of the neck, when system is cooling down or overheating, or a boost in pressure, this seal opens because of pressure and suction, (this is the part that has the pressure rating). The small hose going to the cap is for this seal, for the overflow tank or it drains onto the ground. If it drains onto the ground then it will suck air back in when it cools or gets to operating temperature, end result is coolant loss with no overflow tank. The engine doing what you described is normal but with no overflow tank, the coolant is going onto the ground and sucking in air. Then the second outer seal, seals on the locking part of the neck, when you turn the cap for the 2 step lock. This second seal seals the cap onto the radiator. For coolant to pass this seal and get onto the engine means this seal is bad. Should be clear to see that it is bad. Pretty sure you need a radiator cap. Should be a 16 lb rated cap. I got a bombed out 84 grand wagoner, I put one of those "Hello, my name is Monster. I eat Hybrids." on the fender.
