Burping Your Coolant - Jeep Cherokee XJ - The Roadhouse 

i really miss the good'ol days of the pabst boys roadhouse xj videos ! hope you all are doing well !

You two are exactly what I needed after a shitty week. Keep knocking it out.

This is probably one of the simplest things you can do for your truck, but very important. It also takes more patience than almost anything else. Burping the system can seem to take forever, but it's worth waiting. I find giving the hoses a gentle squeeze now and then helps move things along as you wait. Remember, just when you think you got all the air out, give it another 10-15 minutes. Just one bubble can render your water pump inoperable and then there's nothing to stop your engine from overheating. Thanks for the video guys! Good stuff!

Ok so I'm loving the videos , for my 97 4.0 xj , sending videos to my husband to know what to do on our day off.. y'all are awesome thanx

Editing, timing, and knowledge. There's guys got good content.

thanks guys, I reference this video every damn time I need to deal with coolant on my XJ - the lisle coolant overflow fill contraption is a pro move game changer!!!

You guys earned a subscription, because finally someone actually explained how to burped it correctly! Finally; plus they were drinking beer! Requires fines! I stick to weed so I don't F something up! 😂 good job guys!

Good video, just incase anyone else is still having air issues I found that putting the jeep up at 35 degree incline allowed coolant to reach the thermostat and heater core

Great vid, liked that fancy funnel too. Thanks for the lesson

that's that beer on his hands is hilarious 😂

"Joe's got dibs on your stereo ". Funny stuff. Love your guy's videos.

learned a lot about corrosive coolant on my wife's zj when she got it was rust colored and ate through a freeze plug

Y’all would fit in good at my buddy’s shop. Hilarious and informative .....only way to work. I’d love to get my hands on one of those spill proof funnels....I like that damned thing. I’d love to see a full stock jeep 4.0 engine rebuild video. Oh...subscribed by the way.

gracias amigos... me encantan sus videos... me han ayudado a ir poco a poco restaurando mi jeep cherokee

Thanks fellas going to do this on my zj right now!

Great video. Like many people, I've learned the hard way how Necessary! flushing your coolant is. Keep up the great work guys!

Thanks guys, the funnel tool is a must and it's not expensive. Your the best. Informational and entertaining all the time. As far as ideas....man, it's kind of all been done hasn't it? But you bring a certain "flair" to things so maybe do something on making fuel lines or cooler lines. I'm not sure what kind of options are out there for us DIY'ers.

I miss these guys!

As good as / as handy as that funnel method can be... it can get you into trouble if most of the air is not bled out first while filling. Thermostat opening will allow the rest to work it's way out... just a heads-up for your viewers.

That was a frickin AWESOMELY AWESOME show guys ,thanks for all your hard work on your fabulous shows. Did you know that you're one of the most consistent channels on the tube👍👍😃always fantastic shows👍🌭🍺cheers.

lubricity... cavitation.. Hahaha, You use funny words :) Entertaining as always.

Can you do a video coolant flush for the xj?

Mine took me a little while to fill back up. Then I drove it for a couple days, they repeated the process to burp out any remaining air. I also drilled a tiny hole in my thermostat (per another youtuber's suggestion), and put the hole in the "top" position when replacing my thermostat. When you own an XJ, get used to running hotter than you would normally want in a vehicle...that is until you've done 50 coolant flushes, replaced the fans, the radiator, and installed hood vents, haha.

just found you guys like all your videos and you guy are great to watch , building my 2nd zj and had 4xj"s everything show is rite on the money ,thanks lee

"Lubricity is the measure of the reduction in friction and or wear by a lubricant. The study of lubrication and wear mechanisms is called tribology." Man, that's a $3 word if I ever heard one. ($4 CDN just because)

Who would have known this is a Pabst blue ribbon ad 😂😂

Tommy's mustache 👌🔥

I want to see a video demonstrating proper, responsible disposal and storage of various automotive chemicals, including coolant, engine oil, break fluid, grease, and even stuff like anti seize, break cleaner, ect. I guess fuel and batteries and stuff too.

need some video of that Jeep doing something outdoors

Great video guys! Entertaining and informative!

Did I miss this episode where you guys explain why Tommy does the "necessary" dance? You guys are great. I love the show!

You guys are awesome... love the videos... can you do a heater core and blower motor replacement for the 4.0 Jeep Cherokee

Attention 4.0/2.5 owners a Gatorade bottle and a fair bit of duct tape works wonders for fluid changes

hahaha you guys are a trip. Id have a beer with yall

Glad I have one of those funnels! great video guys!

good stuff. i bought myself one of these but I probably let the jeep idle for too long, when i went to remove it to put the cap back on there was too much pressure and I ended up with a geyser on my engine. lesson learned, but I'm not sure where the line is between waiting till the thermostat opens and when there's too much pressure.

Cool little funnel. Can you guys do a video about death wobble?

the funnel is an awesome tool to have but unfortunately most people who own them don't use them right...

Yo that coolant turn brown real quick I think y’all should’ve done a thorough cleaning of the system before adding that good ole green antifreeze

Yea I'm thinking a death wobble video would be great, maybe so modifications on the muffler? For people that like the lould sound

Just watched this vid. Very much enjoy your channel. Did you make that rad cap with the yellow funnel insert or buy it somewhere? I already have one of the no-spill funnels but really like that filling cap. Where can I get one?

luv this video very helpful and fun as well, thanks guys

Wouldja don't?! Good info guys, thanks.

can you burp an xj on flat ground or should you have the front end higher?

Some of the vehicle here just won't bleed easily but if they heat up a while you can shut down the engine and let the heat soak open the thermostat and watch it guzzle the coolant and then the full burp will occur...Love the show gents.

❤❤❤😂😂😊 thanks guys

Excelentes vídeo, me ayuda mucho en mi jeep. Gracias PBR.

Do you guys get paid by blue ribbon? Hahaha

Isn't when coolant going to flow thro the heater core even if the heat isn't on ?

Awesome vid, thanks for the edumacation 🤣

You guys must have to mop that floor ALL the time!

Does it matter if my blower motor doesn't work? I put the heat all the way up and turn it on high but the blower motor only works while driving LOL..

Hi dear. ¿Have you videos where show how to replace freeze plugs in a Jeep Cherokee Limited model 1993? I'm doing by myself... and I have my baby stop 3 months ago. (XOXOXO from Colombia)

Did you completely let it cool and take in anyof the coolant or just plugged and pulled the funnel when the bubles stopped coming?

Does it work if your heater doesn’t work. The heater coil needs to be replaced or flushed

I got 1997 Grand Cherokee and it gets over heated pretty fast when going up a mountain with the Air Condition on.. The Mechanic guy I went to changed the fan engine and the radiator but still it got heated again. What else do I need to do to make sure this car never gets over 210f?

Do you need to unscrew the coolant bleed while filling it up or leave it in there while the car is on burping itself?

Tommy needs help hahaha - ok what's your thoughts on using the airlift to fill with, I don't use it always wondered by pulling a vacuum I might break something- Cheers guys 🍺🍺

Would you do this the same way on the MJ to the surge tank if your radiator doesn't have a capm

won't the coolant get too got when burping the system? does the block coolant start moving when fan on rad turns on?

Why not simply open a heater hose to bleed the air from the engine while it's warming up??

Wouldn't mind getting my hands on one of those funnels

Holding out on the "NECESSARY!" What gives? Nice vid. How about AC leaks?

At 2:52, that kinda looks like me after taco bell

Does anyone have a link to that burping kit? I bought one from Autozone a while back and the rads on these don't work with it :/

sweet video

man I want the hat keep up the great work

if its not burped can it overheat within 4 min of driving ?

why would you buy premix? the prestone 50/50 from canadian tire is a dollar cheaper than the concentrate but why would you want to pay 8 bucks for half a gallon of water?

what coolant burping kit do you guys have? I can't find the right one for my 4.0 anywhere

Nice...vid..hey you Guys got anything on doing a heater core flush??

thanks guys!!!!!

oh my

How did you wire your blower motor to a switch

So if my heat doesn't work what do I need to do? Its in the temp knob or something because even if the heat is "on" it still just blows ac

Headlight upgrade! or maybe some skidplates

I have a 97 jeep Cherokee as well and I'm having problems with it while it's running if I give it to much gas too quickly it stalls out any suggestions of what could be the issue

Whats the make and model of that funnel set?

Actually, this is not necessary at all if your radiator cap is working properly. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I don't see much wheeling in the jeep though.... you guys ever drive it?

What hood louvers do you guys have?

Why would you top off your reservoir? Its not a closed system, is it? I thought it was just a puke bucket.

Where's the laugh emoji? Oh wait, this is u-tube. Love the opening with the blue ribbons!

Wudya DON'T 😂

do you have to have the rad cap on while doing this

I did this and it just kept boiling over

what about a in closed renix system ?

Open loop cooling systems will purge themselves. No need to burp.

alright! Back to howto's. It's been awhile

Great vid you guys cack me up... :o)

how much gallons of antifreeze do y'all use.

What happen to spill free lmao 😅

What if my heater doesn't work?

lol that intro

steve rob sent me

Some repair shops do not even know about this and how to do this

o2 sensors

what fenders are those?

Would you don't? Them Canader saying don't fly here in Texas boy...

Thanks. Can I borrow your funnel?
