Every RU-vidr should learn how to do /show details from this guy. Wow ! You Sir are the magic hand. The way You showed every detail how to replace it is amazing. 👍👍👍
Thank you man I just blew my side tank on my radiator. I have a 13 Silverado 6 L same truck and I went step-by-step by your RU-vid video. Thank you it’s still a pain in the ass to do but it’s got to be done.
ThanKs for the details. I am helping my brother with his. You helped me to avoid some unnecessary teardown at those fittings. I was ready to break out the flare-nut wrenches. lol
Such a great video man. Succinct, to the point with no fluff, but at the same time detailed enough that an idiot can understand. Excellent work. Kudos.
@@SimpleSickBuilds for real man. I'm one of the least mechanically inclined people ever, my life experience includes changing a starter. Two weeks ago your video walked me through changing a cracked my radiator. I wouldn't have tried it if I hadn't seen this.
The hard lines going to the radiator on the driver's side are for engine oil, the hard lines on the passenger side are for transmission fluid. The caps that go over the hard line fittings not only retain the clip but keep water, grit, and salt from collecting between the fitting and line.
@@jeffreyfremouw6509 No specific tool that I know of, I have always used a screwdriver and/or right angle pick like he did. Right around 6:20 he starts talking about it, 7:20 starts showing how to work the clips out. Sometimes it helps to push the tube deeper into the fitting to take pressure off the fitting. If you don't have new fittings be really careful not to launch the clip.
About to replace the radiator on a '12 2500 6.0. Thanks for the walk through! Any idea how much coolant and trans fluid you had to top off with after all said and done?
So let me get this straight, there is no drain on this radiator? I'm watching this since I'm trying to find where the drain is on my '13 2500HD with the 6.0L.
JB weld on a radiator?! That goes to show how young you are cuz any mechanic with any experience at all will tell you that will NEVER work! Radiators expand and contract you CANNOT patch them
@@SimpleSickBuilds just trying to help you for future my friend. Save the JB weld for household chores it's not good for much automotive use especially ceiling leaks.
