    Cooling System Refuses to bleed

    Another Update, The radiator has since been replaced and the heater core back flushed a couple times even filling it with coolant by hand (nothing much come out during flushing). The overheating issue is now gone, however I still have no heat and the temp fluctuates while driving. It will be at...

    That would make the most sense to me as they would return in the same place, I just wanted to make sure Thanks!

    Thanks, I was trying to figure out which heater core hose should go to which port in the waterpump

    They both go to the water pump. One hose fitting goes to the bypass tube and one goes to the lower rad hose housing

    The supply hose should be the one going to the heater pipe/bypass correct? It was brought up that there may be a chance the hoses were hooked up incorrectly when the waterpump was replaced originally

    Cooling System Refuses to bleed

    Thanks for the response, Do you know which hose is supply and return? and which fitting it corresponds to on the water pump? I have also heard of unhooking the return line and waiting for it to push coolant out. This will be the next thing we try. I also never lose coolant on the ground once the...

    Cooling System Refuses to bleed

    I have now done multiple tests and there is no exhaust gasses in the coolant and I have tried bleeding it while on ramps with the filler neck at the highest point and nothing has changed. Tempted to go through and replace EVERYTHING in the cooling system of this damn pickup

    It wouldn't pull more than 20in HG but we let it sit and it held there for over a couple minutes. then we drew coolant into the system through the tube

    That is the pressure bleeder I was referring to, The instructions said to let it pull to 23inHG, however we could only pull 20inHG & hold before the upper and lower hose collapsed because there aren't springs in them. It didn't seem to make any difference at all...

    Cooling System Refuses to bleed

    The 2nd thermostat we installed I made sure the little brass valve and hole was at the top. I've also looked this thing up and down and I cannot find any bleeder screw like the 4.7s have or the newer 5.7s have. The link is to the water pump I got and as far as I can tell there is no bleeder...

    Cooling System Refuses to bleed

    Thanks for the help on this guys, but the plot thickens as we have found some more strange symptoms. We replaced the new thermostat with a new NEW thermostat hoping that might be part of the issue but it was not. But we have noticed the following things, 1. The passenger side heat gets hot but...

    Cooling System Refuses to bleed

    The thermostat did have a small brass "valve" that lets air through to help bleed it, and as far as I can tell, on these 3rd gen truck Hemis there are no bleeder screws or anything similar like there is on the 4th gens. When we had the pump off everything looked almost pristine, I made sure to...

    Cooling System Refuses to bleed

    I can physically feel the top hose is quite a bit hotter after the engine is up to temp, so the radiator is doing it job and it worked just fine all the way up until I replaced the water pump

    The water pump bearing never actually went out in a dramatic way or anything. I happened to catch it by grabbing the fan one day and it had some wobble to it. Before replacing the water pump everything worked 100% everything started once the pump was replaced.

    Cooling System Refuses to bleed

    I have a 2007 Dodge ram 2500 with the 5.7 Hemi. A couple weeks ago I replaced the water pump due to the bearing going out, I also replaced the Thermostat while I was there. Filled the radiator and puke tank and let the pickup get up to temp with the radiator cap off. Thermostat opened around...
