good

You guys take to long too much talking get to the point

Your radiator is leaking because of the shoddy way radiators are made nowadays. I' old enough to remember when they were made entirely out of copper and brazed together. These new units are made of aluminum and plastic and basically just clamped together.

people like you just let me antifreeze out on the ground have no respect for the planet we live on that's sad that you're too damn lazy to get a bucket and catch it you just let it go on the ground ridiculous you shouldn't even turn a wrench what an IMBECILE!!!

Subscribe just for the simple fact, it helps to bump it up!

Just another reason to throw out your TV, there's work to get done. Get interested and motivated to learn.

Great video. I found your video as my truck is having the same issue. One thing I have learned based on watching other videos of similar situations, disconnect the negative side of the battery and let it sit for 30 minutes prior to beginning work on the steering column as this will fully discharge the airbag system.

You are a slob. Where in the hell do think that fluid goes. Assholes like you should not make videos. You like water.

you really should have put a drain pan underneath to catch that anti-freeze

Good video, very helpful, and thanks for posting -- but the added music is extremely annoying.

Do we guess what year and engine size you're working on???

$83 radiator at Amazon. $200 at O'reillys local. Go figure. Likely all from the same Chinese factory.

I haven't watch the whole video so maybe you address it later. Did you disengage the air bag sensor?

You did a good job of explaining what you did, but let us see exactly what you were seeing. We watched you instead of the little details which could end in failure for most of us newbies. Specifically mating the radiator with the ac condenser. We watched you struggle, but we did not see why you were struggling.

40 years mech . always replace the fans when you do the radiator on a caravan. they have the same life expectancy of the radiator and the hoses .

You mentioned that you have a transmission cooler. Or were you talking about the fans?

Distilled water. Should have removed the red painted radiator support that traverses the entire compartment. It would have opened up the entire area and made it much easier. Good work even though.

Thanks for the video..best one out there by far, really helped me a lot.

Thank you for this video! I have a Dodge Grand Caravan 3.3L 2007 with 180K km, and the coolant started to leak a bit, I have seen some small wet spots on on the asphalt the driver side in a summer sometimes under the radiator. I am just wondering if this a radiator? I purchased the coolant leak stop, but it did not help.I am just wondering if I should add another coolant leak stop fluid into the radiator or just replace one? Merry Christmas!

Be sure to mix with distilled water. 50/50 mix for common folk.

Draining antifreeze on the ground. Not the brightest bulb in the box. EPA would love this guy. His mechanical skills are sketchy in my opinion.

This music is fire

I guess there's some radiator fluid in there... made me laugh because I think we all knew what was gonna happen before when you said you weren't gonna use the pan. SMH. However, great video I am in the middle of it so far and very informative. Thank you for posting.

Yeah, I think I can do this! That's what I needed to see to boost my confidence. The van is the same. You and I are like Bookends right down to the broken belt loop from pulling up our pants! Lol Seriously, I appreciate your work putting this out here for those of us who don't even qualify as a shade tree mechanic. The video really prepares me for the job. I've put in radiator "stopleak" several times so I'm going to flush out the system first. I'm hoping thar removes any of that silver or copper glitter that could stop up water jackets in the engine. I'm going to also replace the thermostat, radiator cap and overflow hose. I'll inspect the overflow tank as it sure seems to loose coolant there as well. Also, thanks to the comments of your viewers about removing the top support bracket.

Good video with useful information. Only negative was dumping your antifreeze on the ground! Please, people, don't do this. Any animal that comes along will lick it up because of its sweet taste but it will kill them!!! Don't dump antifreeze on the ground!

My whole set up across the top of the radiator is completely different even how the fan shroud mounts to it

3:45 I've got a completely different mounting bracket why is that if you look at the top of the radiator it's the mounting bracket attached to the crossmember

Hey man thanks for posting this video, I’m getting ready to do this on mine and your video was helpful.

Thank you for your video i am a senior alone and i need to put a radiator on the same van you have i have a friend who is going to do the job we will use your video great help thanks

Is there a bleeder value when you refill the radiator so the motor doesn't have oxygen in it and cause it to run hot?

10:06. Removing that crossmember ( the bar that the hood lock/latch assembly is connected to via around the center of it) would have made this soo much easier and it's easy to remove that crossmember out of the way.

? I have the same van as well but I'm trying to figure out what is the name of the part that the top hose clamps on to that connects to the engine. Because that part is leaking

Use a zip tie on your return line

Remove the 4 bolts from the support bar and it will come straight off without taking the hood release and all other bolts out, just becareful not to break hood release cable while moving it

Great video! For those of you doing this project, please use a bucket or oil pan to catch your coolant. It can be very hazardous to animals and humans.

Thanks bro

Not draining it in a pan was hard to watch.

Thank you.

You should consider including in your title that you're working on a 3.3L or V-6, or Grand Caravan. Lots of us looking for info on the 4-cyl with the 2.4L engine and it's very time consuming when this information is not included.

I can see ur stomach

Thank you for your video it really helped us out!

Thank you for your video it really helped us out!

Where did you buy the new raditor? I have Dodge caravan 2005 se. Engine 2.4. Your raditor looks the same of my old raditor. I bought new one from oreillys, but it didnt fit. They said, someone might installed 3.8 engine raditor. I just want to a year and model of your minivan please. I am trying to find same as your raditor, but i could not find. Thanks

too f-ing easy NO AC!!

Thank you so much for the video, just replaced my radiator today! You were a huge help. Not only did I save money but I learned a ton and feel empowered. Such a great day. Will be looking to further my skills and knowledge. Pc and Lv

Nice video however I agree with about removing that crossbar and not sure where you are from most states have a environmental laws against releasing anti freeze on the ground

Awesome! Yes this video helps a lot. I just replaced the water pump and had to press in a new hose nipple on water pump housing. No fun, but I sprung a bad leak. wasn't water pump. Turned out to be a broken hose nipple. Im just thinking about replacing the radiator even tho it isn't leaking. I thought your van had transmission hoses attached to it? Im very glad it doesn't. Makes removal and install easier. KZbin videos have saved me time and time again :D

no trans cooler lines!?

next time take the cross bar off two bolts each side makes it a lot easier.

I think you did an outstanding job buddy thanks for taking time out of your radiator fix to help others! Much love from nc
