Buick Lucerne Radiator Replacement How-To 

What a tremendous help this video was. I’m sure it was a pain in the rear moving the camera all over while doing your work, but certainly was helpful to the viewer. Thanks again for making this. It saved me a LOT of money!!!

Thank you for making this video. I need to do this on my 06 Buick Lucerne after I hit a deer. I was afraid to do it at first but after watching this I realized it's not that hard. Very very helpful!!!!

I have to say that this is one of the best videos that I have used for repair work. And the step by step instructions and descriptions were so helpful. I can’t even describe how grateful I am. Thank you for this.

Little late to the party, dinked the back of an suv and busted my headlight and quarter panel. This is super helpful for showing me how to fix it all. Thanks bro!

You guys are rock stars. This video allowed me to take on the project with confidence. Buick made the job difficult. Blue collar garage made it possible.

I cannot thank you enough. My dad and had to take all of this apart to replace the front bumper and more after I rear-ended a jeep. We had no clue where two brackets went due to it taking a couple months off after taking it apart. Your video has been amazingly helpful.

Shop charged $1300 😢this is a great video to save you money

Good video, between you and a GM tech friend (my savior) I was able to get this done. I was doing a 2008 subjected to Minnesota salty winters, had a few broken bolts and rusty parts. Slipped getting up off the floor and broke my bottom parts of passenger headlight. I tested for leaks right after connecting radiator and trans lines, didn't want to wait for complete reassembly. The bumper assembly was intimidating, good to get some experience, and your video helped. Thanks. Onto trying some JB weld on headlight.

Good video. I just did mine this last summer. After you get the radiator out I suggest you inspect your transmission cooler lines and brake lines. They are prone to rusting thru. Better to catch them now when you have the front taken apart. Thank you for showing the Buicks. I get tired of seeing all the honda/kia repair videos :)

You sir are my hero. I followed you step for step and this video answered any possible question I could of had as well as guided me. I felt like you were right next to me instructing me on what to do next. I did have a minor issue getting my transmission cooling lines off. Not the actual clips off (though the bottom one was tedious). Mine were really stuck in there. I found that if I jockeyed them back and forth and up and down while I was pulling on them they came loose.

Great video with lots of detailed information. I assisted my grandson in replacing his radiator and this video was a huge help and time saver from having to do a lot of trial and error.

I have the exact car in black. My coolant is disappearing from the expansion bottle.No leaks on the ground after sitting. Ill fill the bottle before a road trip and come home to an almost empty container a few times already. Ive ordered a new bottle as its original from 2006 and pretty discoloured. I don't see any visible leaks of coolant sitting anywhere so Im assuming its leaking under pressure when driving. Im thinking it could be the coolant elbows which I will change when its warmer as well as check the hoses really well. I don't see any overspray or anything of coolant residue. I am so happy to have come across this video should I have to change the rad. They said it was impossible to change the rad in our 2009 F150 without evacuating the AC system and you bet I did. No issues and its been 2 years already with no AC issues. Anyways thank you so much for posting this with extreme detail and perfection.The lighting, sound and detail were perfect. I so appreciate you tubers like yourself who genuinely want to help.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! My daughter's lucernes housing for her upper hose broke. I dreaded tackling this job, but it was a success, and your video was alongside me every step. Thank you!

This is extremely helpful because of this video I think I could do this on my 2010 Lucerne 3.9l the shop I had it at wants to charge me almost $3,000

Thank you very much for the video. Great details. It made the job much less stressful. 1:04:14

I took that top crossbar completely out, made it a bit easier

Have to do the alternator on the v8 version of this car… have to remove rad and bumper this video should help thanks

More quality GM engineering for you. To replace the radiator, the front bumper has to be removed....

Just wanted to drop you a line and say thank you for this very detailed step by step video. I've got general knowledge on cars but these modern cars are rediculas on working on them. This job kinda makes me miss working on the older stuff for example only spending a couple of hours to change out a radiator. You have the only video on you tube that was very through. I have to change lower intermediate steering shaft as well so if you have any tips on taking lower kick panels apart on drivers side to acess would be helpful. I'm sure I'll figure it out but most of it is snap on but I'm guessing there are a few bolts hiding lol. I appreciate all your knowledge and by the way I got 2 bids on radiator and both quoted me like 800 and couldn't get around ac so thank you for that. Later

I finished one today. Good video. Great job.

Where is my radiator bleeder located on my 2009 Buick Lucerne 3.9

Excellent job. Appreciate explanations.

Was careful still lost a clip and had to buy an assortment of clips for around $14 with 12 clips and three different sizes

My defrost vents are clogged. How do i uncloge them

How do I remove the transmission line its stuck in, so I had to get the bolt off radiator. Now I have to get it off to be able to connect to new radiator

Been working on vehicles over 35 years. I didn't remove half of that.. think I'll start making some videos

i just wrecked my lucerne on christmas, so i guess now i’m gonna learn how to repair the whole front end🥲 hopefully the radiator replacement will be the hardest part

Taking mine to a shop 😉

My Buick has 98k miles but sometimes I get a jerk is that transmission fluid

How much does this job cost to get this done at a dealership? or a mechanic shop?

does your radiator fan come off and on, or does it stay on when the engine is hot or when you run your AC? My fan just comes off and on during both ways but has never over heated, It is a new radiator fan, TY

Thanks!

I didn’t have to remove latch cable.

I and the Father are One John 10.30

I don’t have top or bottom cover 😂
