2006-2009 Honda Ridgeline radiator replacement

How to remove, and replace the radiator. This truck had a transmission cooler leak that pumped trans fluid into the coolant. I also had to get as much old "coolant" out as I could, and change the transmission fluid. 2007 2008 06 07 08 09.

Saved this video for when I got home. Rusty, your skill and video's are nothing short of brilliant, I love the comments and content. Always something to learn. One of the best Mechanics/Techs on KZbin.

Watching everything get put to back together in fast motion was super satisfying. Thanks for the video man.

I have a 1st gen ridgeline. As a preventative measure, I will be replacing the radiator. This video is helpful and gives me the extra " can do" needed to tackle these jobs.

If you take the transmission hose leave it disconnected after you put the radiator in then have a transmission funnel in the fill whole with 10 quarts of fluid ready to dump start it up and keep dumping it in until it comes out clean. Then check and fill the pan as needed.

Thx for your thorough Break Down and NOT using the Mechanics second Language every other foul word in the book, thx for just the Facts.

I laughed out loud when you talked about the crazy jizz. You earned my sub. I'm picking up an 06 ridgeline in a few weeks and am going to have the radiator done as a preventative measure.

GREAT JOB BROTHER.

[@kdeltatube]

nice job, good thinking on how to purge the muck out😆

[@johnbayliss1098]

Excellent my brother thank you I have a 2011 model and I'm going to take a look at that radiator also to before I have any problems I'd like to know if you're going to put an external transmission cooler on it instead of using the radiator it might work out better this way you have no problems with the transmission ever

[@shamoy1000]

The exact same thing happened to my 06 Ridgeline. Including the fitting popping off when I went to remove the hose.

[@mishazubovnik3070]

Oh so crusty rusty! I love yer accent and methodology of griping whilst explaining. That's some real popi . Salute!

[@grantanderson4452]

This video is amazing....what was the yellow funnel that you had on where the radiator cap would be....how did you make it or what is it.....also thank you for no foul language because I can share with friends and younger folks without that bad language knowledge. Thank you so much, Grant C Anderson

Hey hey...This was fun and very helpful. tHanks for posting the video.

[@Nicedesk]

Thanks for showing this! Maybe better to flush with out the radiator inline? Filing this in the long term memory bank...
