Thanx man!!! That was very well done and useful!!
Great video Brian, thanks a ton, even though this job took way more time than I thought, because of lack of special tools, I managed with my big hands and sausage fingers to get the job done. Short tip for anyone; (always clean your bolts and screws with a wire wheel as it makes them easier to thread in those difficult areas on the buttoning back up. I do agree with Delora Hall's comment about the engineers never working on the stuff they designed. I only had to pull my rad because the tab on the drain plug was broken and needed to be replaced. Who is the fricking genius that thought it should be made out of plastic?
Thanks for the video. Doesn't look quite as bad of a job to do as I thought it might be. Unfortunately mine seems to be leaking from the driver side and I haven't been able to determine if it's perhaps a crack in the reservoir or if it's the radiator itself. It's in the 20's outside right now and no garage to work out of so not exactly the most fun time to try and figure it out, muchless do the replacement. I'll have to look through service records and see if the water pump needs changing out too. Really wish this thing would've acted up two months ago before it was freezing outside. Thanks again!
how do you tell its clogged idk if i need a whole new one or if its just clogged I haven't had to fill it up in awhile the temperature inside on the gage dont move either but when i remove the cap when cold it over flows
Good job I see your are a professional thanks for the video
Quick question: I hit a deer last week just spent last bit of my money getting a new radiator since it busted the one in my Durango, can I take the a/c condenser out for now since it too is unusable?
proof that the engineers never plan on working on what they invent, what a nightmare!
If I can get the radiator disconnected from the condenser then what steps do I skip?
Hi, sorry if this is a really stupid question, but … would a radiator for a 98 Durango fit into a 2000 Durango? So far all the local yards haven't located a used one out of a 2000, but had one from a 98.
Thank you so much for providing this awesome video! I replaced the radiator in my 2004 Dakota today following this video. You rock!
do you need to plug the transmission cooling lines
great job!! replaced mine thanks to your video.
Thanks for the quick comprehensive video. I am pretty handy with rebuilding stuff on my GTO and Harley and I have a Chiltons on my Dakota so I figured this would be easy-peasy……The Chiltons fails to mention the condenser, removal of the core support crossmember, the tubular cross braces (there is a 10mm bolt behind it that is a joy to get out with the brace in place), and replacing the o-rings on the tranny lines. After experiencing last nights little surprises and then watching your video I have a feeling that tonight will be a different story. Thanks for editing out the non-productive stuff and keeping the audio relevant and comprehensive.
Good stuff man saved me a huge ass pain by getting decent tool in advance hah
Hi I hope you can help me, I have a Durango 2002 by mistake I put water instead of antifreeze, later I saw engine oil in the antifreeze tank. The oil is not visible in the radiator cap or antifreeze in the oil only in the coolant tank. What can be then? Have already changed the large radiator and still with the same problem, greetings
Extremely helpful video. This video saved my life! One thing for those that never mess with radiators is to fill the radiator at the upper hose with approximately 3 gallons of 50/50.
this video helped me a lot. just put a radiator in a 2000 Durango. thanks
