I’m 19 and this is the first car i’ve ever had (300c), I know some about cars but i’ve never really actually got in and worked on one. Anyways. it didn’t give me any problems the first 2 months I had it, but I did notice there was a small leak coming from the radiator and just last week it overheated on me and I was sure it was the radiator. Long story short I took it to 3 different shops and was quoted $400-$750 to just replace it! I looked up this video and watched it over a few times , I ordered my own radiator for $95 and changed it my self in about a hour and now it has no problems. DON’T BE AFRAID TO WORK ON YOUR OWN CAR! thank you 1A Auto.

[@gearhead4005]

I've done a lot of my own work on my Charger because of this guys videos. thanks again.

God I have to really thank you. I went every step of the way on this and I swear so easy to learn by you guys. Great job. Thank you so much. I'm finished and did it all by my self.

6 yr later and still helping people save money.. Used ramps in my driveway, competition videos had you do way too much. Thanks for this proper video.

[@seriouslyseriously6666]

Great video did this job on my 07 magnum 3.5 v6 this past weekend and it’s wasn’t as bad as I thought I’d be. Video was spot on. My Maggie of course had the heavy duty radiator instead of the standard. But, all in all simple. I did remove my whole bumper assembly just to tighten up my pre installed 5 piece grill. Super duty radiator people just take your time and wiggle wiggle wiggle she’ll come out. Just watch the two a/c lines behind the lower radiator hose return. Now a/c is super cold.....burr. And heat is hellish.

[@benjaminlundell1152]

Just bought a 300C knowing it had a leak and I would have to do the work eventually. Glad to know I have a full walk through to reference and a good source to buy that part. Thanks guys!

[@sallylee8078]

Great job. Wish I would had watch the video prior to hiring someone that didnt know what they were doing!!!! He took the condenser out with the radiator! He did not disconnect them from each other! Now I will have an issue with the condenser as all the hoses have been disconnected! Being a women & watching this step-by-step I should of done it myself! Thanks for your help.

[@RobertSmith-nh6ef]

I love the 1AAuto vids, but i saw that u put the wrong coolant in it. U never want to mix 2 different types of coolant. FYI

[@jasminenelson5966]

What will happen if you do?

[@williamhutcheson9325]

Thanks for the video! Your concise instructions and step-by-step removal and install helped me on my 2008 Chrysler 300 Touring today! One thing I would mention, I saw in your video you had a cold air intake instead of an air filter box. It helped to also remove my air filter box in order to get the radiator out past the filter box....other than that, all the same. Thanks again and I will certainly keep 1A Auto in mind for future parts!

[@juanmendoza2262]

William Hutcheson yeah I ran into that issue too! Once removed, made putting in the radiator a snap.

thank you , i have 5.7 that started to slightly overheat when outside temps are high, and vents can not cool it down fast even on idle so i think that a/c radiator is full of trash and should clean it but have to remove engine radiator, that would clean it too, to raise air flow through both of them

I have a 2009 dodge charger 3.5 V6. I did everything you did in the video but, I'm having a heck of a time pulling the radiator out. The bottom right inlet hose housing keeps getting stuck where the 2 condenser hoses are. How can I move them out of the way w/o damaging them? Awesome video. Thanks so much.

What about the srt8 that has a transmission cooler mounted on the front? Will the old transmission cooler mount easily onto your Radiator?

[@chavezi4531]

man this is a great video👍👍👍👍

[@1AAuto]

+Chavez I Thanks for watching. Hope this video helped you out. 1aauto.com

[@danielotoole72]

Two quick notes: (1) You don't have to cut or remove the bracket that holds the connector on the fan (time 2:01). (2) Make sure you transfer the old plastic/rubber trim flap things from the old radiator to the new. I assume they're there to direct air into the radiator instead of escaping around the edges (5:39). They just snap on/off.

[@makantahi3731]

i done this yesterday and on old car it is very slow job- many screws are rusty and spring clips are pain in asss-very strong and hard to expand it to move - i changed it with clips on screw, cooling fans removed to above but installed from below, radiator side covers does not move, radiator removed and installed on below, and bolts that holds condenser and radiators were rusty and i could not unscrew, so i decided to remove front facia and then everything become easier, i washed condesner with pressurized water to remove dirt from it and i took engine radiator to house and washed ribs with high pressure water and there left big bunch of small sand that was in radiator grill, and other dirt, about 5 hours of slow job, i had car raised for 20cm from ground

[@05yamahayz250]

You left out how to bleed the system when done. there are two nipples on a bracket on top of engine near where upper radiator hose clamps on to, to release the air in system. but other than leaving that little bit of important information out great video.

[@1AAuto]

+mx748 Thank you for your feedback!

[@CrimsonFox36]

My radiator is fine from a technical perspective. It just has a lot of dings, and rocks littered through out, and replacing it makes me feel better. I blame the grille having WIDE gaps.

Is there a difference in radiator for single fan and dual fan?

[@DANKSTAR209]

07 3.5 300 bought a new radiator it had 2 choices at autozone one for dual fan or not i took the dual fan papers say severe duty 2 the inlet is 1.75 way bigger then my original one in the car and its a thicker radiator this new one any idea where to get the hoses as it does line up perfect with the bolting

[@mica122213]

guy must have been driving on the beach with all that sand in the rad lmao

[@neilwilliams8608]

On my 09 charger 3.5, at the top of the radiator, there is a wide long piece of rubber. is it mandatory to put it back on the new radiator? What purpose does this rubber piece serve? Thanks a lot for your video and free help.

[@1AAuto]

That sounds like it is just a plastic panel to tidy up the engine compartment. It is not required to reuse, but we recommend it as he will help keep debris from the road getting in your engine bay! 1aauto.com

[@colin_300]

Thanks man!!!

[@newwavepressure6478]

Y set the heat on the lowest setting I thought put it on high and anyone know another way to bleed a charger 5.7 I can't get the bleeder valve open an I don't have a vacuum to use

[@natrumph6772]

I didn't see the weather strips on the old or transferred to the new radiator. Are they omitted for new install?

[@1AAuto]

+Nat Rumph Thank you for checking us out. With the aftermarket radiators, this weatherstripping is not always necessary. 1aauto.com

[@meengreen52]

These cars use hoat red coolant. Green is NOT reccomended for newer chrysler vehicles. (Red and green coolants actually create clogs, some sort of chemical reaction occurs)

[@thomaspuertas9424]

Had a coolant leak was suppose to be a 20 minute job to change the hose but I have to bleed it cause there’s so much air in the system but the bleeder valve is stripped and can’t get it out without and extractor and can’t fit the drill unless I take the radiator out for more room

[@skullmaster3332]

Omg I couldn't figure out where the bolts that hold my radiator in were supposed to go and I couldn't figure out why my radiator wiggles back and forth. Then I saw you putting in the brackets and I looked at my car AND THERE ARE NO BRACKETS. Just 2 4 inch long screws with wing nuts not holding anything.

[@Texas28Redrum]

Why was the fluid in there orange at first then you added green? Does this actually matter what kind is in the vehicle? If so then what is the difference?

If it's the same as the 3.5 magnum, follow the lower hose up to the engine, it's tucked up in there behind the power steering pump. Remove the power steering pump bolts and set aside. Loosen AC pump bolts for more access.

[@bulletsforteeth5029]

This is on a modified Chrysler 300.... They don't tell you how to get around the AC Cooler lines on the stock 2.7 V6. The radiator is caged in by AC lines, I'm having to take a sawzall to cut the tab off the lower radiator to get it to come out. Putting the replacement in may also involve 'modification' with a sawzall to get it in. DO NOT BUY A 2.7 V6 CHRYSLER 300.
