What else can I help you with?
Why would your 99 Chevy truck be overheating and radiator hoses be flat?
lower radiator hose has spring inside to keep it from being sucked closed, spring may have caroded or shifted, replace lower hose should solve this problem
How does antifreeze keep the water in your radiator from freezing and overheating?
It changes the freezing and boiling point.
Do you have to fill the radiator on a 2003 ranger?
It would definitely help keep the engine from overheating.
Why does the upper radiator hose have no pressure?
Under normal circumstances it will have some pressure just less than the bottom hose. The bottom hose is directly pressurized by the water pump while the upper hose acts as a return hose to keep the water flowing through the engine block. If there is no pressure you could be low on radiator fluid (water/anti freeze mixed) or have a thermostat stuck open.
1994 lhs it s overheating?
We had the same problem with our LHS. We first replaced the thermostate and it still happened. So we keep looking and the lower radiator hose was colapsing. You might check the hoses after you replace the thermostate. Hope this helps.
What would cause a 1997 Intrepid to keep overheating even after replacing the water pump and thermostat?
Low coolant? system "airbound"? Hoses collapsing under pressure clutch or cooling fan not working? Defective radiator cap?
Which colligative property is employed when coolant is added to a car's radiator to keep it from overheating?
vapour pressure lowering
If there is none or less coolant in the radiator does it cause overheating?
You bet! keep that baby full at all times
How do you flush the cooling system on a 1995 Chevy Lumina APV with 3.8L engine?
Remove the bottom radiator hose from your 1995 Chevy Lumina radiator. Put a water hose in the top of the radiator. Allow the water hose to run. Keep the water running until clear water runs out of the bottom of the radiator.
Why would a 1996 Cadillac Concours overheat while driving Installed a new radiator and that did not fix the problem. It will idle in the drive way all day long?
There are other things at play to keep your engine from overheating and they are cheaper than radiators. First make sure the radiator cooling fan is coming on. Cost to do this "Free" Next you may want to replace the thermostat. It may be stuck closed or partially closed. Cost about $8 and your time. Either of these two will cause overheating and are more likely to be the cause than the radiator. A collapsed radiator hose will cause overheating also but rare. Hope this helps
1969 Cadillac hearse and it is running really warm you replaced the water pump and the thermostat what else could it be?
I had a similar experience with my 68 Fleetwood Series 75 Limo. The problem was a plugged radiator. Cadillac uses a 4-row radiator for these heavy duty vehicles just to keep them from overheating. Before I replaced the radiator, I would make sure the lower radiator hose is not weak. A weak lower hose can "suck closed" starving the water pump for water and resulting in over heating. Make sure the lower hose has a spring in it. This spring is there to prevent the hose from getting sucked closed under normal conditions. There is a powerful suction created by the water pump and can collapse the lower hose without the spring. Baring problems with the hoses (and you have replaced other possible causes), I would suspect the radiator is getting old and plugged up. I did not have any success with radiator cleaning as it was so old and weak, it had to be replaced. Overheating is a thing of the past now.
What can cause a radiator on a 94 ford aerostar 3.0 to keep popping a seal and leaking next to the bottom hose new radiator hoses not overheating?
i had a similar problem on a 97 ford taurus, not overheating but it would boil out the resivior, changed the theromstat, no help, took of the water pump and the impeller was rusted, almost gone, replaced it and it works good, also before changing it, the antifreeze was rust colored. hope this helps.
