Pontiac Grand Prix Radiator Replacement

[@panzerfaust5046]

If people like you weren't making these niche repair videos i'd be pretty SOL trying to finger through the book; Great work

[@neptunefitness1866]

Panzerfaust bro you don’t finger the book 🤦🏽‍♂️ you read it.

This video saved my car and my wallet. Swapping out the radiator, without a garage, in the middle of an arctic blast was rough though.

[@AnythingAuto]

Just bought a 2004 Grand Prix GTP Comp G with 94,000 miles. It had been sitting for 3 years before I bought it. The radiator is leaking now, looks like I’ve gotta do this job this weekend. New hoses and thermostat (180 degree) while I’m at it. Then a right rear hub bearing the same day, and a oil level sensor too (easy). Thanks for the video. Only think I’m not looking forward to are those damn transmission line clips. I’ve never liked those things!!

[@AnythingAuto]

They suck! Be prepared to replace those too if it's so rusty. i hope this video helps. feel free to like and subscribe for more & if you can, please help the channel out by giving a super thanks.

Didn’t lose em, the new radiator had new ones on it though. Took 2 of us 4 hours to do this job!! Now come to find out, one of my transmission lines is leaking! DAMMIT!!!

[@AnythingAuto]

@@jeffb243 knew it. I'm telling you they are hand on hand

[@patdawson1842]

Great video, thank you. Have to replace mine in my 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix.

[@AnythingAuto]

Since this video I have done another one. They seem to be crap after about 10 years. Glad it helped. Like, subscribe and enjoy. I will note both times had some different items to be removed but mostly the same process

[@hassantisdsle3254]

I think I have a leak in my Radiator how to find out

[@AnythingAuto]

@@hassantisdsle3254 once your car gets to normal operating temperature jack the car up and look at the radiator. You'll see quick where its leaking. Be safe. It will be hot. I'd check hoses first. Sometimes they tear or are ruined by the clamps and old age

[@hassantisdsle3254]

Jeffery Wayne is it anyway I can send you a picture of it

[@hassantisdsle3254]

Jeffery Wayne Do you have a Instagram because it’s not letting me send it

[@mcdavidhome100]

I really appreciate you bro! This is a great video with great HD quality. Thank you for your time..

[@heroknaderi]

Thank you for your time. I have a 2002 3.1l Grand Prix and the radiator is leaking now I can take my time and see if I can do it😎👍 I also with they would make a radiator that’s all metal so it’s indestructible😁

[@AnythingAuto]

Right but got to keep thr weight down some how. Glad it helped. Please like subscribe for future videos

[@Jinkins100]

You freaking rock bro. I ordered my radiator from your auto shack link too.

[@AnythingAuto]

I am glad the video helped please hit that light button and don't forget to subscribe. I use auto shack for all my radiators and I've still yet to find one that has failed

[@Jinkins100]

@@AnythingAuto I love how detailed and fast you make your videos. Some other videos will be like 30 minutes long of mainly just wrenching. I just now pulled out my old radiator with the help of your video. You are amazing. :)

[@AnythingAuto]

@@Jinkins100 a funny story is way back then i didnt plan on filming or making money off of any video. that was one of my first videos but it has one of the most views and i make the most money off of lol. since then i have editing programs & 4k cameras i film with but glad that crappy video still helps. that car still runs today around 270k miles on it or so.

[@Jinkins100]

@@AnythingAuto Right on man. you have a natural talent. I have always wanted to try filming and editing videos. My kids want to get into it because we still don't have any idea how the making money works. My 9 year old makes some freaking funny tiktoks. He put a gallon of dirt down my bathroom drain and filmed me getting pissed. :) Right on about your Grand Prix still running. Mine also has 270k miles. I bought it from an auction last year for a project.

[@Daniel-gk2sq]

The factory clamps are not screw-type clamps they are squeezed type and you need a pair of tires or a special tool to release it

Great video sir! Thank you! The ac condenser clips was the tip I needed.😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@dmtripreport8542]

This was very helpful, thanks! Just a couple notes for anyone with an 02 Grand Prix Gt. On that one you actually don't need to remove the two wire harness' from the fan motors or the plastic clippies holding on the harness', you just need to remove the top center(blue with the white safety clip) electrical connection, and all of it comes out perfectly with the fan. It also doesn't have the annoying useless clips connecting it to the a/c condenser. Check and see if you need new transmission coolant lines beforehand, mine were super rusty. Lastly, when your about to be finished, don't drop one of your mount bolts down into the bumper and scrape up your hand trying to get it like a giant idiot, they sell replacements at Ace hardware for three quarters.

[@That1towncar]

Thanks, that's the EXACT car I have!

[@ilyjandrothunderhawk2473]

i have a 3.8 L 2007 pontiac grand prix and im wondering if it has the drainage plug on the driverside as well?

Do you have to put a jack under the motor when removing these mounts

[@AnythingAuto]

Not sure about this one because I'm not watching the whole thing but I put a jack under it to raise and lower the engine if need be. i hope this video helps. feel free to like and subscribe for more. also head down into the description and check out the link for some high quality led bulbs for this and any other vehicle. use my referral for a discount.

[@MsBPaxton]

I hv a person working on my radiator & he cant put one of the pins in Do happen to know why?

[@AnythingAuto]

Can you explain what pins and maybe I can help you. Its been a long time

[@JamesJohnson-td7ur]

How did you separate the radiator from the condenser? I can't move the condenser upward even while prying on the clip. Wouldn't you need to do both upper and lower clips at the same time?

[@AnythingAuto]

yes, separate one side then try your best to keep them up and out of the way so they do not lock back in place while doing the other side. as i said in the video its the hardest part of the job. i have done another one recently and same issue

[@JamesJohnson-td7ur]

Thanks so much for the video. It was a tremendous help. They finally came apart after taking a fresh look at it this morning.

[@taurus38splul]

The wire clips on the fan open rather than pulling them out and risk breaking them like I did.

[@glenhalstead2301]

Could you attach that A/C condenser to the radiator before you drop it back in?

[@AnythingAuto]

Sorry it was so long ago I couldn't tell you. I work on so many cars they are blurr together

Why didnt you buy OEM radiator? is this a good radiator to buy?

[@AnythingAuto]

Because my customers want the cheapest job done possible so I have to weigh in price but have to use my best judgment on quality. I've used many radiators from this Canadian company and never an issue.

[@EzMDr]

@@AnythingAuto Are they made in Canada?

[@hermesgestistruism]

How much money does this repair save, on average, for these models? We have a Pontiac in this range, and I'm thinking of using this video as a guide to replace ours. ✌️❤️🔮

[@AnythingAuto]

I cannot really give you an estimate on parts because every shop up charges parts to a certain degree but as far as labor you should be looking at that $320 range but again that also depends on the shop and what they charge per hour

[@hermesgestistruism]

@@AnythingAuto Yeah, that's definitely a considerable amount. Some DIY seems worth it. Thanks for the guide. I'll need it!

[@AnythingAuto]

@@hermesgestistruism I am hoping I can get another Pontiac in the future to do another radiator because that is when I 1st started filming before I even wanted to make a channel so the quality was pretty bad

[@hermesgestistruism]

@@AnythingAuto If you lived up here in Maine, you could definitely do this one. I'm not looking forward to it at all. 😂

[@AnythingAuto]

@@hermesgestistruism Do not overthink it that one's an easy one I do many radiators a month and and that 1 is pretty simple try it on a Chevy Captiva and you'll want to blow your brains out

[@brittanyf348]

How long did the shipment take ?

[@AnythingAuto]

Its from Canada but came within 4 days or less. I think 2 or 3 but was a while ago. Last week I got a radiator in 2 days

[@kkeithf]

Thank you!

[@apolloeggo3677]

Know that this 19 yr old and his friend are going to be following this while cursing and drinking energy drinks😭, I got dex cool sludge, need a new radiatior, wish me luck.

Is it the same for series II? I have a 99 gp

I do believe the only difference between the 2 and 3 is internal upgrades not redesign
