hey buddies does anyone know where is the air bleed screw at on a 01 durango 5.9 r/t

 

Nick:

If you are referring to the cooling system air bleed, I don't think they have one per se other than to leave the radiator cap off and idle while you fill and let the air work its way out.

If I am wrong, others will chime on and correct me. I have the 4.7, and I know where that one is for sure.

air bleed screw for what?

 

Just pop the radiator cap, it is at the highest point in the system and warm up the D adding coolant as it goes down.

 

He means on the T-stat housing.

And no there isn't one on the 5.9L

 

There is not a bleader valve on a 5.9 cooling system.... To properly (burp) your system..starting with a cold engine, remove the rad. Cap, turn on the heater, fan off...if possiable, find a container that fits the rad cap hole firmly where no coolant will leak past and pour coolant half full, start engine and allow it to run until it reaches normal temp, keep the level of coolant in the container above the highest point of the coolant system.... Which is the bend going into the thermostat, after the thermostat has opened and the all the air has been purged, you can remove the filler container and replace the radiator cap,do this quickly to keep air from returning into the bend of the hose. Refill the reserve and turn off the enging....... ALLOW TO COOL, THIS SHOULD PROPERLY PURGE ALL THE AIR
