The heat hasn't worked in my 2005 Ford F150 pickup in years. Haven't wanted to spend the money to have the hearer core replaced. Going to show thus video to my husband so we can try this! I'm sick of not having a defroster, nor heat, in the colder months. Thanks for this super easy solution!

@hcote4457 2 года назад

Thank you for the video! I was having heating issues in my Nitro. I followed your instructions and wow! Went from 60 to 140 degrees… nice and toasty now! Thanks.

@dustinharnden6373 3 года назад

@catgray1 Год назад

You are THE MAN!! Haven't had heat in our Ford F150 in like 10 years. Your video popped up in my RU-vid feed. My husband watched it, did what you said and it worked beautifully!! I have heat in my truck again! Can't thank you enough fir this video! Was easy, and only cost us about $65 for hose, coolant, cleaner and a radiator flush kit! Couldn't be happier! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@tomstapp2344 3 года назад

Great idea! My brother and I just did this and it worked perfectly. Can't believe how much gunk came out. Glad I didn't pay my mechanic $1,200 to replace it. Thanks for being so informative and I appreciate how you explained everything.

@ronmassaro9527 6 лет назад

Great video - followed every step and it worked. My 2003 Chevy Tahoe is blowing hot again! My only problem was both hoses felt equally hot, so I couldn't tell outlet vs inlet. I checked a few other videos and found one that said that the outlet is normally higher to allow for hot air to rise out of the system; that worked for me. Anyway, loved watching your video; great no nonsense style. You are the King!

Very informative video. Having had 4 sons and rebuilding many motor vehicles, I can't stress enough, don't use stop leak. It is a band aid that will eventually turn into major problems in the future. I am currently having issues with no heat the on the drivers side of an '06 Land Rover LR3. Wish me luck........ ;-) Thanks for the video!

@MarzNet256 7 лет назад

Great how to. I know some people use a garden hose or compressed air but the high pressure can rupture the heater core. Using gravity-like you did-is much safer.

@bdrichardson403 5 лет назад

Use garden hose only.

@kevindemoss1347 2 года назад

A little update a year later. The problem has come back, so my advice when you are doing this for the firsr time is to use low pressure compressed air in borh tubes after doing this proceedure to make sure the core is totally open.

Interesting way of cleaning out the heater core. Thanks for the novel approach that directly cleans the heater core. Myself I would take the drain hose and hold it up. Then mix the cleaner and hot water and let the chemicals sit in the heater core for maybe 10 minutes. Then drain the heater core. Then drain & repeat as needed. Thanks for the new trick!

@geekhillbilly2636 Год назад

You can reverse the coolant flow thru the heater core to quickly get heat. Use the engine to clear the blockage. I use a remote Oil filter Relocation kit as a coolant filter on the inlet side, going thru the filter then to the heater core. It catches the gunk that stops up the core and clears it from your coolant. You might have to change filters often at first for a real dirty system, but it pays for itself very quickly. I use this on my 1999 Ford Ranger with 213000 miles (2.5. L4 Engine). BTW I live in Southeastern Kentucky

Another thing I've found involving that stop leak stuff is sometimes it clogs up the thermostat and holds it open which causes lower than normal temp through the vents as well. Cheers Brian!

@Nuke21 7 лет назад

I'm glad you mentioned to not use stop leak. People don't realize those cheap "fixes" either don't do anything, or they cause more damage than before. I have a million idiots bring their car to our shop and wonder why their injectors are bad because they ran injector cleaner in their gas tank. They don't realize it doesn't work. It is common sense that if it is safe for your plastic gas tank, it isn't going to eat carbon. Anyways, on-topic, as a last resort for a customer that flushing didn't work because it was so blocked, knowing I was going to have to replace it anyways, I put a low pressure heated pressure-washer to one end and that was enough to break the blockage without rupturing the heatercore. Just a thought as a last resort especially if it doesn't work or breaks the heatercore, you had to go in and do it anyways.

@All2Skitzd 7 лет назад

There are service manuals and TSB that beg to differ, On some Cadillacs and other aluminum blocks it says to ACDelco cooling system tablets (which are Bars stop leak tablets according to MSDS) and on the trucks that had issues with the fuel sending unit they say to use ACDelco complete fuel system cleaner (Chevron according to MSDS) and ACDelco injector cleaner (also Chevron) on injectors and ACDelco fogger (forgot what brand it really is) on the carbon buildup Using a pressure washer with either a soap tip or no tip at all on the gun works about the same as a pulsating cooling system cleaner (and surprisingly enough cost about the same)

@boondock6055 6 лет назад

@killawattgarage 7 лет назад

I typically run a garden hose with full pressure through the heater core to flush.

@leebarnes655 7 лет назад

Dangerous advice as automotive coolant systems aren't rated for more than 17 PSI typically. They will pop apart at 60 PSI which is the typical water hose pressure.

@killawattgarage 7 лет назад

I would love to have 60psi out of my house hose. Would be lucky to have 10psi!

@NebukedNezzer 6 лет назад

Heater cores are likely not a tough as long ago. I had a air injection to a water hose and would hook it up reversed. turn on the water slowly till a little was coming through then add air to the water. the air bubbles would really loosen up crud. yes, its dangerous to the core but if done properly it worked great. another thing I never get twisty or rough with the hoses. Don't want to bust the heater tank connections. Like your video. Your method is safe and effective.

@Wheels1026 Год назад

Hey Bobby. I got the same hot driver, cold passenger heater temp problem after attempting to resolve an overheat problem. 2010 Subaru Impreza outback sport hatchback, 150k miles. Coolant was way too old, so flushed, added conditioner and subaru coolant and new thermostat. Burped. Vehicle still overheated but also the hot driver, cold passenger heater problem began. -10 January in Iowa. No good! The top radiator hose is Hot. The bottom radiator hose was quite cold. Figure the thermostat was good since new OEM so started to focus on water pump. Its not a hard job but not easy either. Sooo, i researched heater cores and figured that would be a cheaper easier thing to fix. Flushed the heater core with water, did get some fine sediment but nothing major. Current status? Car goes a 100mph for a hour, doesn't overheat, but the top rad hose is hot, bottom rad hose is cool, heater core inlet hot, heater core outlet warm.....and still the darn driver heat is hot, and passenger side cold. Just don't make sense to me. So, my question for you, the blend door actuator, did you do it yourself and did it solve the hot cold heater issue? Heater core replacement looks like a huge pain in the rear. So my next steps are: change cabin air filter, use an actual flush product with hot water on the heater core both ways several times. That don't work, change the water pump. Id sure like to do the actuator door first but havent found a single video after days of searching.

@bobbybanks7554 Год назад

I have more than one blend door actuator I have to change the one on the driver's side... I've already flushed my system and changed my thermostat.... I'm gonna do that And I'm pretty sure that should solve My problem bruh.

Couple years ago I used two bottles of Bars Stop Leak two-part system mix. I used two bottles. At the time, I had a leak coming from the top of the 2000 Ford F150 engine. Didn't have the money or time to fix. Was hoping it would give me some time. Now I hear Brian telling me I screwed up.I will do this job when it warms up. I still need to replace my upper intake manifold, crossbar plastic cracks and leaks on all of these engines, 5.4L and the 4.6L.

@spelunkerd 7 лет назад

I don't know of any professional mechanic who recommends Stopleak, and there is only one popular but sloppy online mechanic I know who uses it. Mostly it seems to be guys who put it in with the intent to sell the car and pass future problems on to the next owner. That's a cool trick to permanently backflush the core! I wonder if burping is more difficult when flow is reversed -- presumably if flow goes in the top and out the bottom of the core, air bubbles might be reluctant to travel downward before getting back to the radiator. I guess if there was any problem you could burp the core manually before finally hooking the bottom hose back up....

Who cares, except the people who were able to fix their problems from the aforementioned video? Is there something you don't understand about cars being complicated machines, and not a 2+2= 4 equation? The machinery and electronics are far more complex than that! Every potential "fix" does not work for every scenario, as I'd hope you'd already know by now. The problem is not always what it might appear to be, and different cars usually end up with different problems, often depending on how the car was used/abused. A+ Ira!

Do you think I copied his idea to do this? Chris is a friend of mine. You'll find a link to his video in the end cards for super flushing a cooling system that was there before I read this comment. He reached out to me when his channel was a small fraction of what mine was at the time. I added him to my recommended channels as per his request and he did the same for mine where you'll find them today. I've given him advice that's helped his channel and lively hood and he's done the same for me. He's made several videos on subjects I've covered before he did. I see tips and things from my nearly 1000 videos show up in others videos verbatim without reference and then others see and copy them. That's fine. Welcome to the internet. As for the origins of this subject, people have been doing this since before the 1930's. Ericthecarguy did a video on it before Chris did. I have seen his thumbnail, but I haven't watched his video other than to see he used a garden hose (very common practice). I have however been working as a professional mechanic for the last 20 years on on a wide variety of disciplines (more than most professional mechanics). I may just have something to offer in making a video "that's been done before." Therefore, I reserve the right to do so when the opportunity arises.

briansmobile1 I don't think you copyed anyone. Your work is original. My comment was met for the person who pointed out Chris did it before you. I met no disrespect towards you. I hope you take no offense to my comment.

When you reversed the hoses to the heater core at the end to continue the back flush process as you drive, aren't you sending any knocked loose particles into other parts of your closed system?
