In this video I have a look at a customers Chevy 2011 Silverado that came with a customer complaint of overheating. Customer also says there is a mysterious fluid leaking a trail on the ground everywhere he goes. Doesn’t take long to see the leak in the radiator tub. Let’s get this radiator swapped out and get this guy back on the road.
-Enjoy!

Eric and Mrs. O kissy face on the live YouTuber! Just doesn’t get any better! ❤️
You made me laugh about the jugs. I thought I was the only one that complained about that. You are totally correct about aftermarket radiators. You never know how they are going to fit or last but you can't beat the price. Luckily I didn't have too many comebacks and they all had radiator leaks mainly at the tanks,
Great job just a strait forward radiator job no drama thank you!
I generally like oem radiators better because the tranny cooler thats built in always seems to perform better than the aftermarket ones.
you are a very lucky man good wife wife good health!
OH! So NOW I see Watch J R Go used a “Chivvy” part for his ‘Xcalade.
Those GM intakes are interchangeable!
happy wife happy life
Your show is great down to earth ,UP state NY
Putting back the OEM sleeves if one of those nice touches, like it
The tranny coolers are a joke! Had to put 1 on our truck from the men's department! The stock 1 was the size of a wallet….
She sure does love you for sure!! 🙂
Buy once cry once on radiators.
