Just replaced my radiator in a 2011. Appreciate the help great video

[@ExhibitTruth]

A master in action, thank you, I’ll save a bundle doing it myself.

[@jamesayers1770]

Thanks guys for helping us DIY guys

[@MrEricMcCullough]

Is there anything special you should do once your have the transmission lines connected? Like possibly purging the system or should it be fine?

[@micknolen]

Is there tranmission fluid in the radiator? If so, do you need to add any to replace what's removed with the old radiator?

[@klanster13kevo]

No

[@plumeriastudios83]

good video - worked very well for replacing the radiator in my 2005 Chevy 1500 4wd.

[@1AAuto]

+Kathie Masters Thank you for your feedback!

[@albertoruiz7793]

What about the transmission fluid that you leaked what was that fluid? cause I’m assuming you have to add more of that after you replace the radiator

[@whitesheatingairappliancer7101]

I had no idea how to remove the transmission lines on the radiator. Great video thank you.

If I were looking to upgrade my radiator to something more effective than stock, what would you recommend. I live in a place where the summers reach temperatures of 110+ degrees Fahrenheit and wanted something to allow my vehicle to be able to idle longer than 10 minutes without it nearly overheating.

Mishimoto

[@AUDIO2AUTO]

Its a tab on the bottom of the radiator to release the rubber boot. I know because I broke mine just like you did in this video.. lol it still will go on the new one, just not lock in place now.

[@sernani99]

Really nice, how much coolant do I need ?

[@RODNOCKER123]

Is this the same for a four-wheel drive 2011 Silverado 5.3

[@juliolozano1161]

Great video. Had to change one at work and it was a breeze. What is the normal operating temperature on these trucks. Thanks.

[@lanix17]

You mentioned the transmission lines having transmission fluid, is that as a just in case there is a leak os should the transmission fluid levels also be checked after filling the radiator?

[@paulrevere9071]

Thanks for the vid. First off...can’t figure out why you agonized over the bottom hose and the little one next to it. Take them off at the block and deal with removing them from the radiator when you pull the radiator. Plus, you don’t need a special tool.

[@1AAuto]

+paul REVERE Thanks for the feedback!

[@BuBea2010]

I see you have links for all tools minus the two used two remove the top and lower hoses. C-Clamp removal tool correct, but which one works best and since I have the tool used for the bottom what is the removal tool used for top, link please? TIA

[@darktoadone5068]

How much coolant did you use and how much water? I don't have an owners manual for mine, it's a used 2013 I ask because I found out I have a cracked radiator today and I'm going to have to get all new fluids.

[@connorstacherski8034]

I have a question, will a 2007 classic radiator and core support fit on a 2007 new body?

[@hosedude70]

Great instructions.Better than other vids .

[@ec6052]

Just watching to see what it looks like around the lower radiator hose because I'm hoping the clamp might be rusted.. then yours snapped and gave me hope lol

[@tuffbeard]

What size is the radiator? And what about the one with oil cooler lines on both sides. I have a 2010 GMC Sierra 1500

[@MaudsValentine]

I think my radiator exploded today, so definitely gonna need this help lol

[@quinnsmith963]

If you have an oil cooler as well as a transmission cooler, is there any more steps?

[@jacobguzman4311]

For the line with the clip if i took the base bolt off instead of wire clip would it be ok?

[@gnez6460]

If I'm replacing the radiator due to it cracking, Do I need to flush it if I'm going to use the same coolant and it was also flushed 3 months ago,

[@JR-eq3qh]

gt nez your good then if it’s been done 3 months ago but don’t hurt to do it again just filter it when u put it back in

[@marksanchez1460]

Guys are awesome

[@danparedes8706]

How much transmission fluid did you have to add?

[@mikestefanik3526]

I have a 2003 hummer H2 is the lines that go into the hummer the same as this vehicle

[@gulstan6007]

Is there any difference between 2000 2004 are they interchangeable

[@xxlayloxx]

So how much coolant do you put 1 gallon two gallons?

[@rstrauss4070]

Thanks for the video super helpful.

[@hectorgaona2081]

What’s the other radiator that’s in front of this one called and for?

[@559makavelidisciple5]

Is this basically the same process for an 02 gmc sierra 4.8??

[@1AAuto]

+559 MAKAVELI DISCIPLE We don't have a how-to video for your vehicle right now, but the basic steps in this video should be enough to do this task. Buy this part for your vehicle on 1AAuto.com: 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

[@559makavelidisciple5]

[@josephpadilla8982]

My 99 has a giant fan in front if the radiator... do you have a video on removing that?

[@1AAuto]

What does the Niple go to be tween thelines

[@theeogtriple6589]

Thanks man you aren’t a real man until you put your own hands in your truck I always like to do it myself because I always feel like they can fuck me over and say they did the work when really they didn’t

[@mikeooo219]

How much of coolant do we use

[@josecastro1682]

Great video excelente

[@1AAuto]

+Jose Castro Thanks for the feedback!

[@twiztid6977420]

You could've made yourself room for the fan by simply removing the upper hose first. Just throwing that out there.

[@1AAuto]

+Beerus The Destroyer Thanks for the feedback!

[@Soundafek]

Awesome! fellas thank you!!

[@carlosestrada5766]

I just did this and my lower trans line leaks 😢

[@daniqirl]

why not just drain it to get the hoses out of the way beforte removing lines

[@truwar6002]

good ole salt belt truck is probably a pile of rust powder by now

[@joshhayes6192]

Why does it not show you putting the pen back in the transmission lines and oil cooler lines why did you not put the pin back on video

[@klanster13kevo]

He did he put it back before right after he first unhooked it that way he didn’t lose it and that way it was already in place for when he was connecting everything back

[@Audiojesus00]

Please go step by step didn’t show ho to remove transmission line offf the fans almost broke them

[@spocker22]

Your tool broke it

[@klanster13kevo]

Chut up chorizo lover

[@pineychristian]

GM going to no pet cock in radiators is just plain stupid. Someone should make a lower hose kit to drain out cooling system when needed.
