Here is how to replace the radiator on a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a 3.6L V6. I went with the front bumper removal method. Linked video on that.

Hey man just wanna shout out my HUGE thanks for your video. My gfs 2014 jeep GC was leaking coolant and after replacing the thermostat and upper hose I finally saw the leak in the radiator. Same exact spot as yours. Ended up tackling the water pump while I had it all removed but I had your video up following step by step and it was a godsend. You have another very grateful viewer! Was my first time doing this and you made it easy. Cheers!

Thanks for the detailed and simple DIY video. My first time changing a radiator and I was able to do it in two hours with the help of your video. I had a problem with bleeding it at first but I eventually got it. Again thank you 🙏🏾

I replaced my radiator a 1 1/2 yrs ago now on my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.6l V6. I avoided taking the bumper off which saves some time for sure. I watched a couple of videos which showed how to without removing it. It is quite the job for one person. One step frustrated me putting the radiator back in its place. It all hinged on the angle that I had it to snap back into place. After almost an hour frustrated, I put it on a slight angle and it snapped back into place. Not for the novice DIYer

No doubt it's a tough job. I think the 30 min to take off the bumper made this easier for me personally but I can see if it's someones first time removing it that adds another 1.5hrs like you said!
@chrised1115Ай бұрын
Removing the bumper is the easiest part of the job. I rather spend 10 minutes taking it off then spend a half hour fighting around it. To each their own I guess.

Hi, i have a question, can i also swap out the condenser while at it, other videos show you have to pull bumper off ( wrote this as you were saying don't need to remove) but i don't want to do that,i have a bull bar and its also got headlight washers as well as being a diesel, its too much work having to remove all the front part, so i'm hoping i can change the condenser out after the radiator.. sorry if that made no sense. Nice vid thanks

That's about right. I did the radiator fairly easily, would have been about 5-6 hours but I did the water pump too which took another few hours, hell just cleaning the mounting surface was an hour of scrubbing away with a scouring pad. 2ith the right tools it would have been quicker for sure.

How do I tag LJs Garage? The engine antifreeze/coolant SHOULD NOT BE RED!!! That is the wrong antifreeze/coolant for the vehicle. He needs to be using a HOAT Antifreeze/Coolant which is either orange or yellow. A red coolant is most likely OAT which is not the same as HOAT.

I used the Mopar OEM stuff so im not sure what you are referring to so hopefully I used the right stuff. Thanks for caring to pass on that though!

@@LJsGarageyes you used the correct coolant which is the OAT coolant, he's referring to the HOAT coolant which was used in model year 2011-2013. He doesn't know what he's talking about, you're all good dude. Thanks for the awesome video, I'm about to tackle this tomorrow.
