2007-2013 GMC Sierra 5.3 Radiator Replacement

Procedure also works on same year Silverado’s. I recommend purchasing a repair manual for torque specs.

[@oxnardadrianlopez6684]

I liked your video buddy. I don’t see why other people are complaining. It taught me everything I need to know. Thanks and now I’m confident doing it myself.

[@JeremysCarRepair]

Thanks! Bunch of negative Nancy’s if you ask me

[@COWBOYZNATION]

Only use distilled water to top off your coolant mixture boys...

[@EarlSinclair97]

All the negative comments notwithstanding, thanks for taking the time to make the video. I wasn't sure how the transmission cooler lines disconnected, and now I do. Good information.

[@COWBOYZNATION]

Agreed. 👍

Wow , awesome video Jeremy. I am pretty mechanically inclined , so your video was straight forward and easy to follow. A bit jerky with the camera , but totally understood , working with one hand. Much credit to you. 6 stars

[@cdubs5738]

Nice video bro! I’m an electrician and you helped me pull this off flawlessly! I depend on guys like you quite a bit; lots of videos are close but lacking; This one was thorough

[@charlietuna5962]

Faq the haters, if they were so damn smart they wouldn't be trolling for a fix! Opinions are like ....... Hey man, you said you've done this job before right? Are the factory oil cooler lines connected in the same fashion as the trans, with those "E" clips??? Just blew my rad, roadside, heading home now to get tools, and waiting for my Napa to open, getting my KZbin masters degree while I wait. Thanks tremendously for the fine details you provide, ya, pulling that splash pan out of the way is definitely gonna be a access provider! Thanks man

[@fartdinero7135]

Thanks for the video I had everything done in about 1.5 hours including going to the store thanks bud

[@jreyorable]

Thank you very much for making this video. This was the one that I used as a reference to replace the radiator in my truck. You did a great job

[@Gilbertjames007]

I let the coolant flow thru the system without turning my truck on while it’s on and filling to the line so that I am not guesstimating my coolant levels prior to turning on with cap off like he did.

[@JeremysCarRepair]

Well then you might want to double check the level...when the water pump is running it will push air OUT of system, dropping your fluid level, and when thermostat opens it will also fill any air gaps...you have to monitor coolant level for the entire day. You’re doing it completely wrong.

[@theDHdudeJosh]

Attempting it this afternoon, thank you man keep the videos coming!

[@ammar350z]

Awesome work, you did explain the radiator fluid, is it possible to tell us how much fluid should we add (transmission fluid)?

[@walkingdeadalphaCO]

Changing mine right now. Thank you for the tips. Really helped me out

[@Mr.Mrs.Cohen1718]

Question, we have a 2010 GMC Sierra extended cab with Topper and the hose for the radiator has a small holes and the fluid is leaking. How hard to fix? They are trying to charge me 200 dollars.

[@COWBOYZNATION]

For ONE radiator hose!!!?? Top or bottom- or BOTH?

[@HungNguyen91622]

Hey you reached more than 1k subs now. When you plan making more videos?!

[@insanity0p57]

Great vid part number for the orange plugs for the radiator

[@mickstermouseter7059]

This is a good video, but would be a little more helpful if it started from the very beginning of the work you put into the truck. It will be helpful in reinstalling the radiator. 👍

[@eselowg6552]

U should of showed the most importan thing..How to drain your radiator.. But thanks..u still had sone very good info

[@sergflores2956]

I appreciate you maestro!

[@SnooppyDoobyDoo]

Glad to see you reached over 5000 subs.

[@toddgray8627]

I believe you purchased a different model radiator than your original, which cost more. The other side holes are for the models that have oil cooler lines as well as trans cooler lines.

[@JeremysCarRepair]

TG Mobile that is correct...except it cheaper...way cheaper

[@JonathanVallet]

What about the transmission lines, should you have to add transmission fluid, and won't there be air in the trans lines now? How would you get the air out

[@calebchatham7559]

Just used this to replace mine…. Preciate it…

[@Inka909]

Thank you very much for the video very detailed and great information given

[@gilzr473]

Thanks for sharing, very helpful video!!

[@larsonny77]

Hey great vid, I've got an 2009 Sierra which sometimes steam comes from the radiator area, coolant levels are good and temp on the dash stays at normal Temp. I've looked everywhere and I can't see a leak, any ideas?

[@Darth---Vader]

Same thing happening on my 11th did you figure out where it was coming from?

[@larsonny77]

@@Darth---Vader yeah I chalked it up to rain hitting my radiator and evaporatoring creating steam which is the white smoke. I'm gonna change my grill so it's no so wide open and look for a more closed option.

[@keithhudson8522]

great job good video thanks

[@djhinrg]

I never a seizure before until after watching this video

[@JeremysCarRepair]

Says the self proclaimed DJ...you suck

[@COWBOYZNATION]

🙄

[@vicentegama4779]

Is it the same as a 2011 gmc Sierra denali 1500 . 6.2

[@drolfe6217]

Great explanation buy a light

[@livewithnick]

Can you think of any reason after replacing a radiator and throttle body in these trucks why the ac would stop blowing cold ?

[@JeremysCarRepair]

Either you disconnected the air compressor or you kinked/cracked a line going to the condenser, in front of radiator, when you swapped radiator...

[@COWBOYZNATION]

What about the o-rings inside each oil cooler fitting??

[@luisg8946]

Why not. They cost $3-$6 dollars and is peace of mind

[@jayrich9240]

awesome vidbo you rock!!

[@uuulaalaa]

Shit im about to start this job

[@housemachine509]

Same for 2014?

[@hulkmadddhernandez6113]

What's the part # for radiator

[@JeremysCarRepair]

Hulkmaddd Hernandez this was an aftermarket radiator from the parts store for $130. I am not sure if the OEM part number. There are many aftermarket radiators for this vehicle.

[@COWBOYZNATION]

Yes. Depends on with trans cooler, with engine oil cooler, or either/or. Also engine size....

[@oOBCKushOo]

Literally took 20min. *sniff* literally they way these work *sniff* I kno its piss poor.*sniff* they just snap right in!! *sniff*

[@oOBCKushOo]

Cant miss it ! *sniff* I can go on and on

[@COWBOYZNATION]

But did you go back with DISTILLED WATER "BC-KooKoo"??

[@jimbob0769]

Consider sticking to mechanics and let someone else teach. It doesn't show anything in detail. Explaining what you did after it's done is useless to the average layman, but thanks for the try.

[@JeremysCarRepair]

Sorry it wasn’t up to snuff JIM BOB!

[@tumtum5123]

average laymen shouldnt be under the hood

[@oxnardadrianlopez6684]

With a name like JimBob we see why you couldn’t learn from the video lmao!!! Stick to being good at nothing JB.

[@fartdinero7135]

You should let your Boyfriend doit for you next time then sissy

[@gabrieltorres9298]

Horrible instructions & presentation

[@JeremysCarRepair]

Gabriel Torres thanks!

[@oxnardadrianlopez6684]

So funny that these people are complaining! What’s so hard about his instructions? It was a HUGE help to me.

[@COWBOYZNATION]

Me too. I am just a shade tree mechanic. I am a pretty bright guy, have enough tools, a quick learner, & have patience. Thanks for posting this video sir.

[@stephen9851]

Jesus just get to the point
