In this video I start the process of swapping out a radiator in a ladies 2018 Chrysler 300 AWD with the big 3.6. It’s not to bad of a job until we open the aftermarket radiator from Napa only to find out it needs some “modification” to make it work like the OEM. Let’s see what we can get done today.
-Enjoy!

Hey you didn’t need to drop the transmission. Your in luck.
Been a lot easier to go swat a deer and have the body shop guys replace it
Ya I know what you mean about aftermarket. I put a rad into my buddies 2010 Wrangler 3 years ago and the dam thing is leaking from the tank where the core is crimped. He and I are both just infuriated. Of course it only does this shit when winter comes and we have to change it outside.
Nothing a can of stop leak couldn't fix.
Thanks for the video. Wishing you and your family a happy Thanksgiving.

Given how unreliable Chrysler/Stellantis cars are, they ought to make it easier to replace failed parts.
Great videos
