Great video. Thanks. Regarding Preston coolant: It is strongly recommended using HOTA antifreeze 50-50 mix, Mopar 68048953AB or equivalent. because of aluminum head, cylinders and pump. provides corrosion protection. Don't use OTA, (they go into 2011 GC and newer), some say that gaskets will be "eaten up". (If you mix HOTA and OTA-mixture creates gel and plugs your cooling system). Per the manual, the minimum antifreeze percentage is 44%, optimum cooling and protection at 68%. Some people say "it doesn't matter" if you use green coolant (and I used to be among them), as the difference/damage is not immediately visible. Takes years for bad stuff to happen (corrosion, seals, bearings). But, there is a reason why Jeep engineers specified HOTA coolant. Do yourself a favor in the long run, make that extra trip to auto-part store, and buy the right stuff.

@Mc-nn6nj

The way I've done it, several times, when you fill the system... make sure the cap on the reservoir is closed, the radiator cap is open and the bleed screw on the engine where the upper hose goes to, is open. (it also helps if before doing all this you start the car, Turn the heat to MAX wait a few seconds and turn the car off. This should help get coolant into the heater core as well) Put a funnel in that bleed screw and a funnel in the radiator, if you need one, and fill both sides simultaneously. It will fill the radiator, most of the reservoir and it will get into the engine and travel thru to the thermostat. Fill until both sides start to over flow just a bit. Give both hoses a few good squeezes, the coolant level should drop on both sides a bit because you're pushing coolant into the air pockets and forcing air out. Add some coolant until it overflows a bit and repeat until the level no longer goes down. Remove the funnel from the bleed port, pour a bit of coolant into the radiator side while you have the bleed screw hovering over the port, as soon as the fluid starts to spill cap it off and thread the screw until tight. Cap off the radiator and top off the reservoir to the full mark and start the car. Let it run with the heat on for a few min, then turn the heat off. Whatever air is left in the system if any will be purged out on its own. Let it run about 10 or 15 min and as long as it's not over heating, rev the motor to about 1500-2000 rpms to get it up to normal operating temp so the thermostat opens. Once at normal temp the fan should kick on, this indicates the car has reached normal temp or higher and the thermostat should have opened. Check both hoses and make sure the hose coming from the thermostat housing is hot, not just warm. Good to go

Easy! What the heck is that vacuum coolant device you have? I suppose it removes most if not all air in the system. The eco nazis probably love it. No spill! On the old LT1 engine I have, it has a bleeder, When I crack the bleeder first, THEN fill it up, it has no air! In any vehicle I am sure it would work in that sequence.

I take it that this is all the same for the 2006 Grand Cherokee as well? I had my heater core go out and now it still gets too hot while idling. I am guessing that it is the water pump. When it is moving it gets up to right before the half way point on the temperature gauge. I wouldn't mind any advice. Thanks again, this video was the most helpful I have found so far.
