If your oil is 6 months old I would change it anyway. But no changing of
the oil is needed, but you will need to top off the oil.
Awesome video man, really helpful. I wasnt real sure how those fitting came
out of the radiator but i do know.
Also did you have to drain the oil to change this line? Only reason i ask
is cause i just changed and dont really wanna have to put fresh oil in
again. Thanks
Thank you Scotty, I was going to be charged over $400.00 to replace this
lines, but did not have the money to do it right now, by watching you do it
I decided
I’m going to do it myself. Thank you again, and happy new year.
It would probably take me about 2 days to do that myself.
Glad this video help! Thanks for your feed back.
The best quality of work is done by replacing with the part and not jimmy
with a quick fix of cutting. although cutting will save you about 100
bucks. My personal opinion replace with Oriely’s parts. Thank you Scotty.
God Bless!
AKMO- thanks for your sweet words, glad this video helped you out with your
repair. Stay posted for more videos, and please subscribe !!
helpful video, I wonder how different it would be for a 2000 Bravada.
Clips go in first then snap in the line.
Artie– glad these videos are helpful, I hope you continue to watch videos
from astrovans. We have more videos coming this year on a custom Astrovan
we are building.
I just replaced my EOC lines on 99 AWD Safari. It was very difficult, took
a lot of patience, and help from Above. The lines go OVER the top of the
front diff. To remove the lines, I had to take off the air box assy, the
fan shroud, and fan. The lines were extracted going to the front, not the
rear. The bolt for the bracket can be removed with a long 1/4inch drive
extension to get the ratchet out by the ball joint.
Mike- Thanks for your sweet comments! good luck to you.
Great video and your time spent doing this is a great help to a lot of
people. I would just add one comment. Please wear nitrile or latex gloves
when dealing with brakes and used oil. They contain numerous proven
carcinogens and are terrible for you. I worked for 15 years in aviation
maintenance before finding this out. We now discipline any technician
found not wearing the proper PPE wehn performing tasks associated with used
oil or carbon dust. Really enjoyed your video. Thanks again.
I have a 2000 Blazer and I have replaced both my upper and lower oil cooler
lines about 5 times. I find a leak will start after only 6 months – right
at where the clamp meets the hose. Why? Is there one particular brand that
doesn’t experience this problem?… Pls advise.
Rick Sokolowski Great information thanks!
THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEO,YOU MAKE US TO LEARN SOMETHING THANKS A LOTS TAKECARE
Thanks for the video it gave me confidence to attempt this
Fix
I have a blazer and it leaks where you pointed out .
EXCELENT VIDEO by the way! 🙂 thank you for your efforts.
Is it necessasary to also change the oil or can it be kept if the oil is
still good..as in 6 mos old?
thanks did mine today on 97 sonoma and other than the pipe bend being
slightly off your instructions helped alot. Thanks
Great video! I’m replaced the oil cooler lines today on a 1999 GMC Sierra
2500 4×4 but found installing new line from under vehicle up to radiator
was a real pain. Not much room to R&R the line but finally got it. Your
video was a real help!! Thanks so much!
great video keep up the good work
Hey I just wanted to say thank you for all of your Astro Van Videos. I own
a 2000 Astro Van that I use to haul my drum set around and for the live
sound audio engineering I do. This is the second Astro I have owned. My
Astro has 70000 miles on it. And Ive been working the bugs out of it since
I bought this one about 6 months ago . And I have learned alot and have
saved alot money thanks to your videos!! Thanks Again!!
Great video I am about to do this on my 2001 LS Astro and you really
helped. With every question Keep up the great work 10,000 people most
likely found this helpful
Take a look at that motor mount might need a change XD passenger side would
make a good video to.
I was looking for an blazer video found this one worked out great thanks.
Short and sweet. Thanks very good tube.
I’ve got my new lines pretty much in place but the 10mm bolt is a real pain
to get to. This is on a 99 Astro with AWD which requires a lot more
patience.
Also should mention that I had to remove the air cleaner, the top radiator
shroud, the fan, and the lowed radiator shroud in order to get access to
things.
gotta do this for my 01 jimmy. thanks man, very helpful.
Just had a quote for $285, glad I found this video. I’ll do it myself.
Great video!
so do you put the clips in first or snap the line in first then put the
clips in?
That’s why we are here… To help those believe in themselves. Thanks for
watching and please subscribe.
Alrighty thanks!!!!!
Why does it seem like your out of breath on all your videos? are you that
over weight?
Just replaced the transmission cooler lines on my 1994 Buick LeSabre for
the second time in two years. The last time I bought these lines from Auto
Zone and they were crap because they only lasted two years. I should have
asked about the warranty before buying them. After they failed I found out
that they were only guaranteed for 90 days. The second set of lines I
bought came from O’Reilley’s and they have. a lifetime warranty; however, I
hope this is the last time I do this job on that car
So what is your question for me?
I would check spark plugs and the timing first. If those both check out
fine you shoot for fuel delivery. A gas engine needs 3 things to work:
spark, fuel, timing.
Good video, very useful. Thanks.
I’m a young astro enthusiast and these videos really help so thanks, keep
it up just I kinda want a little bit longer videos if possible but I was
thinking maybe a custom tail light set up kind of like a charger but with
the light sequence of a new mustang’s
I have a 95 astro and when it starts it kinda stumbles a little like its
coughing up a fur ball in a sense but I don’t know what it is I’m kind of
lost
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us! I never used to work on my van.
Your videos helped me get over the mental block and now I look forward to
when I have more time to work on the van. Keep up the good work.
