Can we get the unedited version where you curse the placement of those two lower cooler bolts?
Thank you! I tried watching another channel and my lord I am thankful I found you explaining what you were doing! I’m a mechanic too! This job really sucked!😂❤❤
Word of advice to someone. Not all replacement radiators come with the rubber bushings on the bottom mounts. Make sure you swap them over from your old radiator to your new one! You're welcome!
I am not the greatest of mechanics and was a little weary of trying this myself. Bottom line, oldest son's 2014 Wrangler had a coolant leak and after checking everything found another video that was just like his problems. It wasn't the best video did show a changing out of the radiator by a garage mechanic like me. So after finding this video, I was very pleased with your step by step process of removing the old and installing the new. I know that you can't show every single step and that's fine, but after watching this video, we went out one afternoon and removed the old radiator in about an hour (but I could be slow sometimes). I did remove the upper and lower heater hoses while I had everything apart and open. I was very pleased that everything I saw in the video was exactly like my son's Jeep. The biggest problem is that his is raised up some so the height was awkward and I had to sometimes stand on a step ladder or up on the front bumper. Actually, that was a lie, the biggest problem was putting the new radiator in at an angle to attach everything (condenser and cooler). That took us about an hour, when the radiator came in and then another 30 mins to get it out of the garage. The fact that you show the bleeder valve is a lifesaver. How much easier can that make it? I actually said one time, "this dude put it on all by himself, so how hard can it be?", but my son laughed and said, "I bet he had 15 guys helping out of camera sight!" Total time for us 3.5 hrs, and 3 cuts to one finger and thumb. Can't say thank you to you guys enough.

Just like that. Man it was like an act of congress pulling the old radiator up and out once I had everything disconnected lol
Taking a lunch break and about to "slap in the new one real easy like"
Great video, very helpful! Thank you
Thanks for the honest tutorial which showed you actually struggling. I watched this video after removing my old radiator with no tutorial. I wish I would have watched this 1st. Some tips that helped me during install.
Best how to video on changing jeep wrangler radiator. Will definitely check out more and hope to buy parts from y’all soon. 😎
Great tutorial. Thanks for taking the time to record. Had a beast of a time bleeding the coolant with a normal funnel. Might have been user error but it worked fine once I bought a funnel with a pressurized cap. Thanks again
Super good instructors' detailing the hard-to, blind get-to aggregation attaching points. What novice would have ever known of the two blind hexs?
Really, really good tutorial man, saving us some serious money here. Keep up the good work on the JKU DIY's!

@@1AAuto Just finished the radiator and thermostat install on my 2013 JKU with your tutorials! Went so well thanks to your video.
Getting the new radiator in, and lining up the condenser as well as the plastic shrouds that you take off the old rad was a pain doing solo. Removing those constant-tension hose clamps without that handy tool was absolutely brutal too, had to remove then and replace with standard hose clamps. Thanks again guys keep up the GREAT work!
You guys should think about starting a Patreon so I can donate/tip you, after all you did save me from a $1300 quote :)

thank you for this! Saved me from having to breech the A/C system
Great video. I just got mine from you guys earlier this week. Working slowly with my teenage son it took me an hour or so. We forgot to swap the lower rubber pieces at first and had to undo it partially. Otherwise perfect video. Apparently some don’t have the lines bracket through the wheel well. I had a bolt there. Thought I lost the bracket, but internet search had others missing it too. Thanks again.
Great how-to video, thanks for sharing this procedure with us all!
Great step by step instructions. Awsome job!
Great video! I was able to swap out my radiator successfully and couldn’t have done it without you. Thanks so much!
How long did it take you
This video was accurate and very helpful. I was able to find all of the "hidden" fasteners and brackets making the R&R of my radiator much easier. THere just isn't any easy way for those lower cooler bolts though. Thanks for posting.
I agree with the other comments! I replaced my radiator perfectly following this video. It was soooo helpful. I will be buying my future parts from 1A Auto!
Great video. Precise and to the point
Awesome tutorial, good camera work too
Great video, helped me tremendously. Whoever replaced the radiator on my jeep didn’t put the bracket @ 20:30 back. Do you know the part number for this by chance? My a/c hoses just rest against it now. Thanks
Did you damaged the radiator protector screen? It seems to have more damage after the installed.
Thanks for this video! I'm doing this on my 2014 today!

Hey did you ever get this done on you 2014? I am doing it right now but I can not find the right radiator. Everyone I find is missing the mount for the transmission cooler on the left.
@@ragtopbuggy hi there.did you ever find the right radiator.
Very helpful video. Thank you!
Great info and job. Thank you
Question, Does this Jeep have an aftermarket oil cooler? My '08 Wrangler Rubicon has the stock AC condenser with Oil cooler integrated on the bottom. I was watching this video to get an idea on how to replace the AC condenser, mine has to be replaced. Their are no videos out there on replacing the AC condenser.
This is a job I need to do. Thanks for this video. I'm getting ready to order the part. How many hours do you estimate this will take?
Thank y'all for the great vid! Sure helps us DIY men out! And ladies too I"m sure!
Thanks for the video! Helps a lot for not mechanic 😂
Great video. I used it to replace my 2015 wrangler radiator. I have one question. Along the hose on the driver side there is a braided wire connected by a clip, but there is also a small rubber hose and i can't find where it is suppose to connect to. I see it in your video at 21:30 mark but it's not connected. It's under the braided wire which is under the hose. It's arched and right to the left of the mechanics hand. I don't see anywhere is was removed or replaced. In looking at the end it appears as though it was never connected to something because it appears new and unstretched. Can you tell me where it goes to. Thanks. I have a pic with hose highlighted. How can I send That.
(2014 jeep wrangler jk) Today I added coolant to the reservoir, then I opened the radiator cap and the top opening showed no fluid like it did when he took the radiator cap off in the video. For someone trying to learn , am I messing up my jeep not seeing any fluid under the radiator cap?
Thanks for the vid. Doing the change over now. Wish me luck!

Do you have video of 2014 jeep compass? Radiator Replacement
Thanks for the video. I'm going to tackle this project this weekend. One question...when refilling with that funnel, is there no need to worry about pressure build up and fluid spewing everywhere?
I cant seem to find the right radiator for my 2014 Wrangler JKU. All the ones I am finding are missing the left mount for the transmission cooler.
Cuz said "Sometimes they break like that..... don't worry about that."
Thx great video
Very good video. Some of those front cooler bolts sucked but in all not to bad of a job.
@13:00 The doctor said I had a fever, and the only prescription... is more cow bell.
How much coolant will JUST the radiator hold? Only getting half a gallon into mine. Trying to determine if it's plugged from casting sand or something from the engine replacement a year ago.
The motors were all die cast. No sand.
Just did mine. Thanks
Whats the part number for the coolant cap tool?
Did Jeep try to see how many places and other components could be attached to the radiator….?
As easy as I thought it would be 😮😮😮😅😅😅
What’s with all the clips and plastic? 😕
got one for the front cooler for the ac?
thanks good job ,,,, looks like another jeep pain in the ass radiator i just did a 2003 liberty ,,,sucked ,,, wed i have 2016 wrangler stick rad ,,,,,,,, thnx
Thank you I installed my brand new radiator yesterday without painting it, it still looks great.
Is this a video of an automatic or manual transmission, or does it matter. By the way, great video!
+Mike Gray The fitment of this part is not dependent on whether the vehicle is an automatic or manual. Thanks for watching.
@@1AAuto Thank for the quick response. One other question about the fluid. I have a 2016. When I look online I see that I need MOPAR 68163849AB. However, I read that this antifreeze is purple in color. My fluid (straight from the factory) looks link a pinkish color to me. Just want to make sure I buy the right stuff. Thx again. This is the best video I have seen for replacing a part. No shortcuts!
I cannot find the bleeder on the thermostat housing for the life of me. Everything up until that point was wonderful!
Can’t find any other good resource to find the bleeder. :( pls help
The bleeder looks like the the top of a screw.
I would have to disagree with the fact that this is a little different in wrangler 11 and older. Different motor and things are also different on removal of parts! Decent tutorial but if you own a 2011 or older this isn't going to help a complete newbie on how to replace the radiator correctly!
+Brandon H Thanks for the feedback!
I agree. This is for a JK, JKU
I'm about ready to go beat some Jeep Engineers ass, from those lower cooler bolts.
Alot of work to change a radiator how much would a dealer charge
$900+
How much coolant do I need two jugs?
It helps if you use a 90 degree attachment for those stubborn lower bolts😂
+David D Thanks for the feedback!
Thank you very much
+محمد عبدالله Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Is it true you have to drain the frion while this is being done ? This is what the dealer is telling me.
No not true
The dealer is ripping you off
at 19:43 does anyone know the part number to that bracket? apparently mine is missing lol
Looks like a nightmare luv my chevy
+ROBERT Austin Thanks for the feedback!
Is it OK to spray paint the radiator black?
+Galleos This is not suggested as it could impede the air flow to cool the liquids. 1aauto.com
Why When i called about my 2014 jku they said you have to evacuate the coolant system....wtf does that mean
Drain all the coolant/ antifreeze. When you disconnect the lower radiator hose, you’ll drain the whole coolant system. You can skip the drain part and just drain the system by pulling the hose. Just be ready to catch it all.
The radiator they shipped didn't have the hole on the left for the transmission cooler only the two on the right. It only lasted 4 months it is leaking on the drivers side where the plastic and aluminum join. Plus as an added bonus for your warranty to continue you have pay for return shipping on the radiator that only lasted 4 months. Very disappointed and will now factor in these things when ordering from 1A auto in future. Plus I can't update my review on the 1A auto site.
+Mike Ready We are sorry to hear about the issues you have had with the radiator you purchased from us. We have a 60 day return policy. After 60 days, the manufacturers warranty kicks in and to transfer the warranty onto a replacement part, the defective unit needs to be returned.
2007-2011 are different from 2012 - present.
Good video. But unless I missed it (I watched it twice) I don't think you ever show removing the big round silver 10mm bolts from the radiator?? You do show putting them back in.
An easier way to do this is at the 7:52 mark, take the 2 10mm bolts out of the top of the radiator and tilt it back. That gives you way more room to take out the 8 and 10mm bolts on the cooler and you don't need a wobble socket. Put them back in the same way.
The plastic should last another 10 years
Correction. 2011 to 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK. Please know your vehicles before posting videos.
Just one more bolt huh😅
I'll just stick to chevy 😅
Wow you don't believe in power tools huh.
Do you guys have a video on how to replace radiator on 2019 Cherokee latitude 2.0 L
No. But it's a similar process. Remove all the stuff in the way to get to the bolts. Remove those, pull the radiator. Then same process in reverse.
