[QUOTE]Originally posted by NK2186: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by 03SlowMach: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by NK2186: [qb] did you fill the coolant up in the crossover tube? u gotta let it run and burp the bubbles out of it and keep filling till its full. Then seal it up and drive it a bit see if u still got the problem. I assume this is on a mach right? so DOHC 4.6. otherwise its different. Why did you change all the cooling system parts did you have a bunch of rust in it or something? Car sit for a while or have oil/water mix? Radiator could be plugged try flushing it out. [/qb][/QUOTE]Car started to overheat out of nowhere. Changed a couple parts but, still overheats. My crossover over tube is stripped and can't find a way to remove it. Tried burping it through the reservoir tank but, nothing happends. Could the problem be because of UDPs? [/qb][/QUOTE]Your car has a closed cooling system. Adding coolant to the expansion tank will not put coolant into your motor for shit. Either weld a nut to the top of the crossover plug as mentioned already or pull the tube off and get another one. I have no idea how people can strip these plugs with a ratchet lol. once you get that plug out start filling and make sure you are not pouring COLD water in a HOT engine :) if you hear creaking STOP! and use hot water or let it cool down.
