Problem after radiator replacement

Asked by GuruXY23C Oct 09, 2018 at 01:37 PM about the 2007 Nissan Frontier LE Crew Cab RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My Car died in the middle of the street, They found milky substance in radiator
and said I need a new transmission.  Having done that they sent me to
someone else for a radiator flush.  That ended up with a new radiator, hosed,
caps and flushing.  Now after all that work, the water temp seems to be spiking
and the AC turns from Cold to warm. Any suggestions?

Possible air lock. Try purging air out of the cooling system. Youtube has how to videos.

Bleed air from system like this remove cap from overflow tank fill with antifreeze to full mark leave cap off and start vehicle and let idle you will notice level in tank start to rise this is normal once thermostat starts to open level in tank will drop add more antifreeze to full mark then put cap back on.
