I love 1A auto - I've had several vehicles that would result in me wondering "Before I replace this part, I'm gonna see if 1A has a video on this for a refresher..." and of course they do for most of my vehicles. It's awesome to see their dedication to maintaining such an expansive database of videos across several makes/models.
+Channing Brown Thank you! We love empowering our customers and showing how to perform DIY auto repairs with our high-quality auto parts. 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Thanks for the video Jimmy! I will say that for the 2005 ram 1500 you do not need to remove the fan at all, and you do not need to remove the transmission cooler or whatever because it's in a different location. Took me 15 minutes, amazing.
I used to call and ask dad, hey I need help, but he’s been passed for 6 years now, so I turn to you, thank you very much sir! I sure do appreciate you showing me this. I gotta change the 08 Ram radiator now thank so much for showing me everything!
I see you didn't get many likes but this deserves infinite likes. Thanks so much for the step by step I changed my trucks radiator with ease thanks to this. Many thanks again
5 stars plus to your company.... I purchased the radiator thru you at a great price, then i put my laptop on my workbench and step by step followed your directions. Start to finish in only two hours.... couldn't be happier. You are now my first pick for auto parts Thanks again, Joe Z

Great video. Followed everything exactly step by step. Was done about 1.5 hours. Only thing not mentioned was to removed brackets and spacers from old radiator to the new one.
This is the best video on youtube for this swap. But if you remove the cross brace that runs in front of the radiator, lleft front fender to right front fender. You dont have to remove the fan and the shroud can come out, still attached to the radiator.
I JUST SAVED A BUNCH OF MONEY BY SWITCHING TO 1A AUTO! seriously best price i could find and really great "how to" video saved me a few hundred bucks. u guys are great. nice job

Bought radiator from 1A Auto Parts, it is a quality replacement. This video made it easy to do myself. Like others I could not get fan clutch nut to budge but was able to easily remove the 4 nuts that attach the fan to the clutch which created enough clearance to remove the fan shroud. This was for a 2008 Ram 1500 5.7L 4x4 QC Big Horn.
Thank you! That made my job so much easier than it would have been otherwise. Turned a replacement job into a simple hour-long job. Thank you so much for the help!

Fyi people just did radiator replacement on 2006 ram slt 1500 hemi, you do not have to remove fan, shroud and the retainer tanks for coolant and windshield washer fluid, can simply unbolt shroud from radiator and set it back toward engine and slightly pull over on a/c tube at top left corner of radiator and slide it up and out. But the rest of disconnecting is correct.
This is the first video I’ve seen from you guys and I have to say I was impressed. I’m a novice as far as auto repair goes but I’m always willing to take on a DIY project , take my time, follow the steps, and so far all of them have been successful. I’m a bit apprehensive when it comes to auto repair but your instructions with demonstration were great. Very thorough, clear and concise. I subscribed, going to y’all’s website now to see about ordering the radiator. Thank you!!
This video saved me so much time!. One thing though. The water pump pully kept spinning even though I put tension on the tension pully. I had to improvise. None the less great tutorial video on removing and installing a new radiator for my 2006 Dodge Ram
I have to say this is one of the best videos for installing a radiator your explanation and everything you did was perfect I am so glad I found your video like I said the best videos great job very very detail and explaining how to take it off and to put it back on thank you so much that helps out so much and will save me a ton of money😊
Another fantastic how to vid. Just replace the radiator today and did the brake pads and rotors on the rear Saturday. Wished you would have mentioned to take off the bottom rubber mount and bolt inserts from the old radiator though. New one didn't come with anything. Thanks again for all the good info.
Hey just wanted to thank you guys for making this video. The step by step really helped. Only issue I had was getting fan off so I ended up removing radiator and leaving shroud around fan until it was time to put it back. Other then that, this video helped me get the job done in an hour rather than a few. Thanks again.
My plumbers wrench that I had handy was too small to hit with a good whack, so I used a clutch fan tool positioned on the radiator fan to keep the belt from spinning while I loosened the fan bolt.
If you detach the shroud from the radiator. You can hang the shoud up on the fan. Take the top 2 bolts off that hold the radiator. Disconnect the upper and lower hoses. Disconnect the transmission cooler. Pull the radiator straight up. Don't worry about the fan. Done it a few times like this.
The Fan did not come loose as in the video,,,,,, Instead of trying to break the fan from the motor , which can be impossible , if you cant break the nut loose. Disconnect the 4 bolts holding the fan to the clutch and slide the fan towards the motor . the shroud can be removed with ease. the rest of the video was spot on.
Jimmy Page I'm doing this repair today. the dang fan didn't come off. radiaotr fluid had gone everywhere and all over the belts making them slide over every pulley. I'm managed to remove shroud and fan the hard way.
Thanks so much for the quick and easy video. Install was a breeze, the only thing that was not correct was the tabs for the transmission cooler. The slots on the radiator were not the correct size. No worries, zip ties worked great. Thanks again!
Thank you again for an awesome video! Was able to change my radiator thanks to you guys and you guys sell one from your website for a really great price compared to other places I've looked. I drive a 2008 dodge ram 1500, 5.7.Hopefully you guys keep making more videos with the same truck... Fixed my driver side door, alternator and radiator thanks to your guidance. Thanks again and keep making more videos.

Hey Mike thanx for your video,at least I know what I'm in for.I bought my radiator from Amazon for $75. and it came with all new bushings and hardware.I just need a decent day to do it.My truck won't fit in my garage so it's the driveway. Thanx again.
I got the job done easily thanks to this video and the part (shipping was wicked fast). Thank you. However, the radiator was slightly different from the original. It didn’t have the slots to hold the transmission radiator but it’s ok because you can bolt it on with 2 10mm bolts. No need to remove the fan at all. It’s a waste of time.
+PA B Thank you for your order. If you would like to leave us a review on Google it would be greatly appreciated. Here is a link to our reviews section. Have a great day! goo.gl/i5JFNY

+Kurt Lindgren Thank you for checking us out, as well as the compliments. We did this to provide better viewing access, but you are correct that in most of the models the fan will not need to be removed. 1aauto.com
There is enough room to slide the shroud back to the engine allowing you to pull the rad out easily. I left the washer fluid container on the shroud too. Works as a counter weight so it won't fall forward at you. 👍
This video is spot on except I didn’t have to take that fan off to do the swap...I didn’t want to have to play with that tensioner..but other than that Thanks a lot!!!
So for those having trouble with the fan nut on a 1500 5.7 (2006 or so range), I just grabed a regular Philips screw driver and on the side of the water pump, facing the fan, are 4 holes. After putting on my pipe wrench, I carefully put the screwdriver into a hole (left side, to hold against the spin of the water pump) and I hit the pipe wrench as I held against it. BE CAREFUL OF THE FAN BLADES FOR YOUR ARM CAN GET SLIGHTLY PINCHED.
That would have been bad if that wrench would have slip and hit your other hand but good video I'm doing my radiator right now. I will be looking for more 1A Auto videos good job guys.
My sons 2007 1500 4.7L (Mercedes engine) got a crack in radiator. Does 1A Auto recommend any type of repair to radiator? Or is it better to replace? Great videos guys!!!
+Ed Anderson Thanks for watching! Modern radiators are really not suitable for repairs, they are meant to just be replaced if crack appears. Here is a link to the radiator that will be correct for your son's application! www.1aauto.com/dodge-radiator/i/1arad00864?f=850748&y=2007
+Alex Hampton We currently do not have an auto repair video specific to your vehicle. You might be able to apply some of the basic steps shown in this video to your application.
The part where you are putting the transmission cooler tabs into were they slide into the right on the new radiator and in your video it's at the 5 minute 53 second time slot. My question is they are not the same now as they were in the radiator slots that you had in this video they have changed they are now Square pieces for each tabs but they have holes in them now they do not fit if you slide them in the tabs are too wide for them so now they go right on top of them with the holes matching up is it safe to zip tie them or do you have to use a bolt and if you do a bolt in a nut a locking nut what size?. You're probably going to have to re modify this video because all the radiators now do not come with those slide housing
+David K Thanks for checking us out! If you purchased the radiator that is shown in the video then it should the same tabs. If you received something that is different please contact us right away and we will try to identify a suitable solution for you! 1aauto.com
Video got me stuck on the fan serpentine belt. Me following along it kept spinning not clear how to free nut when this happens or how to lock in place when trying to free nut to fan.
+Robert Twomey Thank you for your order. If you would like to leave us a review on Google it would be greatly appreciated www.resellerratings.com/store/1A_Auto_Parts
-Looks at list of tools needed and gathers all tools listed and stated at beginning of vid. - starts video and immediately notices mechanic using a tool not listed (pipe wrench) 🤦♂️
U do not have to remove the fan just hold radiator down and pull the fan protector plastic out of the clips on the side of the radiator and move it back
Take the air filter completely out put the reservoir where the air filter is no need to drain all that fluid least that's what I did also don't need to take the fan off just the cover you gotta work it out but not to hard to do least this is how I did mine.

Great price on your radiator. However the pipe wrench and ratchet on the pully didn't work for me. Gave up after and hour on it. Luckily though the install is possible without taking the fan off. Just unbolt the shroud and let it rest on the fan then you can pull out the radiator.

An adjustable wrench is literally the worst thing you can take a fan clutch off with. You can literally rent a fan clutch tool for $20 at any auto parts store.
gave a dislike because.... you say to use the tension pulley.... to get the fan removed....but failed to mention that the arm that pulley is on is weak... and breaks easily....so end up costing me another 50 dollars.... to replace that arm for the pulley.... guys if you remove the air filter housing which is rather easy to do... you can jockey the fan shroud around enough to get past the fan it self...aka don't cost yourself another 50 dollars.
The stock radiator in same year make and model does come painted from factory. There is special radiator paint that's available Designed for radiators. Your input and thoughts are appreciated thanks.

You DO NOT have to remove the radiator fan, the fan shroud slides back over the fan enough to remove radiator
Thanks for the video Jimmy! I will say that for the 2005 ram 1500 you do not need to remove the fan at all, and you do not need to remove the transmission cooler or whatever because it's in a different location. Took me 15 minutes, amazing.
Did you just slide the shroud over the fan to get radiator out?

I had the same question. Can't you take the shroud off without taking fan blade off???
Do you have a link to the other videos?
There is enough room to slide the shroud back to the engine allowing you to pull the rad out easily. I left the washer fluid container on the shroud too. Works as a counter weight so it won't fall forward at you. 👍

Do you think it's a good idea to swap coolant type? Currently has orange coolant but I am trying to replace it with Mopar brand...
So for those having trouble with the fan nut on a 1500 5.7 (2006 or so range), I just grabed a regular Philips screw driver and on the side of the water pump, facing the fan, are 4 holes.

U do not have to remove the fan just hold radiator down and pull the fan protector plastic out of the clips on the side of the radiator and move it back
You do not need to take off the coolant and windshield wiper tanks or the fan.
If my trucks heater don’t work how do I flush the air out
No need to remove the fan, just the shroud. Plenty of room to pull the radiator withe fan still in place
Are you SURE you have to take the fan off?
Take the air filter completely out put the reservoir where the air filter is no need to drain all that fluid least that's what I did also don't need to take the fan off just the cover you gotta work it out but not to hard to do least this is how I did mine.

Great price on your radiator. However the pipe wrench and ratchet on the pully didn't work for me. Gave up after and hour on it. Luckily though the install is possible without taking the fan off. Just unbolt the shroud and let it rest on the fan then you can pull out the radiator.

An adjustable wrench is literally the worst thing you can take a fan clutch off with. You can literally rent a fan clutch tool for $20 at any auto parts store.
+punkrocker10115 Thanks for the feedback!
I drained my coolant into a pan and then accidentally dropped my 3/8ths Snap On impact in it. ☹️
gave a dislike because.... you say to use the tension pulley.... to get the fan removed....but failed to mention that the arm that pulley is on is weak... and breaks easily....so end up costing me another 50 dollars.... to replace that arm for the pulley.... guys if you remove the air filter housing which is rather easy to do... you can jockey the fan shroud around enough to get past the fan it self...aka don't cost yourself another 50 dollars.
+Shocke89 Thanks for the tip! We'll pass this info along to our production team.
DO NOT DO IT THIS WAY way to much unessesary work
The stock radiator in same year make and model does come painted from factory. There is special radiator paint that's available
Designed for radiators. Your input and thoughts are appreciated thanks.
I noticed he did not paint the radiator. Why not?
+Strong Addictions Thanks for watching! We would not recommend painting the radiator, especially the core as this will effect its cooling capability.
Is it the same process for a dodge 3500 2005? 5.9
Great video, thanks
