Should had covered that those fucking springs on the hydraulic hoses are next to impossible to replace!
Excellent, thorough, & detailed! I really appreciate it.
How did you determine it was the crack that seems to be happening on this type of vehicle?
I have a 2001 Silverado 1500 LS 5.3L V8. I have a mystery leak that maybe originating where you pointed. I replaced the heater core 2 years ago myself over 2 days. This video looks like it is a great help to do this.
What’s the size on that radiator? I have a 2002 Chevy Tahoe LT 5.3 V8
Quick Tip. The bottom of the fan guard, I found it's MUCH easier leaving it in. Just moving it out of the way so I can get to the hoses, then putting it back into place once I got the hoses attached to the new radiator. It didnt seem to prevent me from completing any of it. Thanks for the video though, saved me today when mine broke in the same spot as yours did. 🙂
Well done sir ! Good instructional video !!
Do you have to flush the radiator beforehand & bleed it afterwards?
Might be obvious to other people, but I didn't tighten the bolt things at first where the metal tubes pop in. I thought they just popped in. So make sure you do that before you put the radiator in because it's harder once everything is hooked up. Thanks for the video! You helped me get to school!
tnx for video,,,i always laugh when i hear people complain about car when they brake down,,,like some comments here faulting gm,,,fkn lol,,,its a fkn 20 year old car, depending when you bought it,,,,,mines a 01,,,i cant complain at this point if it start breaking down,,,sht its better than my 16 tahoe,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I have an 01 silverado 5.3L v8 . I'm not sure what size radiator to order because I have the exact same crack.
That hose you referred to as an overflow hose is actually the drain hose for when you are draining the radiator. You simply pull it out of the plastic holder and point it down to the ground, open the drain petcock and it drains out through the hose. If you took the drain petcock completely out, that explains why you had a huge mess. Nonetheless, great video and very informative. Nice job.
Since we disconnect the transmission coolant line do I have to refill my transmission fluid?
Wife deserves a big hug and a nice night out
2 3/4 gallons is how much antifreeze mine took ..FYI…
Did you have to add more transmission fluid in before starting or did you just put coolant in
This was super helpful. Thanks for all the tips!
Awesome video but a quick tip that little hose on the driver side is not a over flow. It’s a drain hose to drain the radiator there is a peacock you can turn to drain the radiator out nice and easy into bucket.
You are the best I had no idea what I had in store for me,thank you
Helped my dad and I change my grandma's radiator, which had the exact same problem, we had a few hiccups like we had a different air intake, and the left coolant pipe was stuck on one end because of corrosion, but it went fairly smooth because of your help. Thanks a ton man!
How in the hell were you able to get the bottom fan shroud out? I'm changing my radiator right now and I still can't get the shroud out
How many times does he say radiator ?
