mkay well walmarts open 24 hours but i'll just drive up there tomorrow after work out and get it....and just drain it and fill it

 

I thought our trucks required Zerex, normally found at Napa?

 

no just to the overflow bottle...and it was the De-icer stuff windshield washer fluid...i'm going to get some antifreeze and drain and fill it here soon!

 

okay went under my truck to look where exactly is the coolant overflow bottle drain at?

 

Funny you should ask... It does not have a drain. I just did my coolant flush today and was trying to find the damn drain also. Pretty much all the overflow does is hold fluid. It does not recirculate back into the truck. What I did to clean out the old fluid was unhook the tube near the neck to the radiator fill cap. Then took compressed air and a rag and placed it in the overflow fill cap and presto the laws of displacement forced all the fluid from the overflow out the tube.

 

If you look at how the overflow and windshield bottles come together there is a vein between them. Excess poors into the top of the overflow from the radiator. When radiator fluid becomes low vacuum pressure from the cooling system pulls it back in. Drain your radiator, fill your overflow bottle and start your truck. Your overflow will be empty in no time, so yes it does recurculate back into the system .

WTEBOY, if your's doesn't have a drain you can either pump it out, or disconnect the bottle and just turn it upside down. Either way isn't hard, every time I installed a blower or bracets into a G3 I have to remove and modify the overflow bottle. LMAO, sometimes I forget what is stock vs what I've modified.

 

Hmm you know what... I was not really thinking about that vain that goes to the bottom would work both directions. DUHH

 

Thanks guys appreciate the help!

 

LMAO, it's all good brother. I really never paid attention to it until I blew my headgasket. I was filling that overflow bottle daily, lol.

WTEBOY, good luck man.
