How to Change Jeep Wrangler JL Radiator

[@bryanbro_]

what a great tutorial, thanks. there's not alot of videos on here helping JL owners.

[@Lowriden013]

Thank you for watching. That is exactly what made me try to make this video.

Thank you for the video. Ive been aware of my leak for a while now and it looks like its in the same spot as your old radiator. Im also just 3 months out of warranty so thank you again for this.

[@Lowriden013]

You’re welcome! I know there were recalls on some of them but mine was out of the recall range and well out of warranty period as well. It wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. I was able to get it done within a day while recording.

@@Lowriden013 You wouldnt happend to know the specs on the hose you use for the outlet? inner diameter?

[@henrybucki7813]

pretty dam good video i must say. dont have the need right now but we save your video thanks

[@Lowriden013]

Thank you! Hopefully you won’t need it but I’m glad you saved it just in case.

HI! congratulations on the tutorial! Is the system self-bleeding? Do you think I can do it without using specific vacuum equipment? I have a 2.0T Thank you

[@raulgarcia6218]

One of the best videos I seen explained it very good

[@Lowriden013]

Thank you! When I was researching to change it, I didn’t find a detailed video so I decided to create one. I’m glad my video was able to guide you through the process!

Thanks for posting this. After my last trail ride, my radiator fins are packed with mud. Your vid helps me get to it from the fan. I'll make sure to cover that air intake. Worst case i drain and pull the whole thing out to clean those fins really good.

i have the same issue, im about to order a misimoto but if i can wash my radiator ill def try that first !

[@Lowriden013]

It is a pain to get it all the mud out, but mud riding is fun so kinda worth it lol. I am glad it helped.

[@nvfaiz]

@@bryanbro_ you can also look online for a "fin straightener" a guy I know told they make a rake type tool that straights the fins on Corvettes, so I don't see why that would work on ours. If someone to powerwash the radiator. Soak over night and then use a garden house. Midwest Clay is a pain to get out. Also tip I learned is to place a lawn sprinkler, you the one that fans from left to right, under the Jeep to loosen and clean under carriage

@@nvfaiz I just bought a Mishimoto radiator, I’m having someone help me install it In tired of all my mopar brand parts breaking, the plastics don’t last

[@karladanielafurr7010]

I feel like i can do it myself now lol

[@Lowriden013]

I’m happy that my video gave you the confidence to do it!

[@bertoescobar5953]

So with these new 2018+ jl. You bleed air out of the system through the reservoir. Since the radiator doesnt have a cap. Correct.?

[@Lowriden013]

That is correct.

[@biohazardshrimp]

I am in the process of replacing mine right now. That lower radiator hose clamp is a bitch!

[@Lowriden013]

Yes it is! I struggled with it for a bit when taking it off as well as putting it back on.

[@biohazardshrimp]

@@Lowriden013 so far though your tutorial is spot on!

[@raulgarcia6218]

For some reason I had a hard time placing back the fan deep enough
