what year is this denali

[@robertweeks8664]

Do you have to top off the transmission fluid? You mentioned losing some tranny fluid and want to make sure I have the right type on hand if needed. Thanks!

[@kingg1823]

Following for an answer ?

[@glarson2]

Thanks!

[@richrivera92]

Thank you. The deets on the tranny lines regarding the clips were good to know. Because I may have ripped them off not knowing. Makes everything a sail when removing the radiator.

[@kennycantrell9779]

Just trying to remove the cap off the radiator on 2004 Yukon Denali

[@ryanknutson912]

Thanks for the video, this video and 1AAuto's videos will be a big help. I have a 13 yukon slt with radiator splitting on the drivers side and im replacing it with an all aluminum 2 row unit this weekend. Couple questions if you don't mind. Would it be wise to flush the coolant system before the replacement? And what do you think about going away from dexcool? Thanks in advance.

[@ryanknutson912]

Also would need to top off motor oil and trans fluid for fluid lost in the replacement?

[@alexb2471]

@ryanknutson912 you don't lose any motor or transmission fluid when replacing a radiator

How much would a mechanic usually charge to replace the radiator?

[@THETINYMALEK1]
