Dude, so glad I found your channel, it's like being in a virtual auto shop class; your tutorials are high-level and I feel like I have the confidence to the same repairs you're doing. Thanks for sharing, much appreciated.
Good tip on labeling thing so you know were they go.
Oh man! I’d be so confused if I didn’t. Haha!
That’s a lot harder than changing the radiator on my YJ or CJ!!! Great vid Dale!
I had a '97 Cherokee that I could have the radiator out in bout 30 minutes.. Not my '12 Wrangler...
Great video again! Lost some time trying to find the bolt for line support on the lower driver side. My 2012 rubicon doesn't have one.
I ordered a new radiator from autozone and it was missing the mounting boss for the trans mount. I had them order 4 radiator and none were correct. Glad you got a good one from TYC.
Aw man, a lot more daunting and intimidating than I had assumed from other radiator videos. 2015 JKU Sahara has been visibly leaking coolant. I just got back inside from removing the coolant reservoir tank to inspect for cracks and unfortunately it wasn’t that easy. I’m not sure what signs say it’s the head gasket, but I do have a droplet that is hanging out on the bottom corner or possibly bottom radiator hose on the driver’s side, it slowly drips all the across the bottom of the radiator, and there’s dry coolant on the side of the top hose closest to the reservoir tank. I really want to learn how to care for my Jeep, but this might be a professional job in my case.
Sorry if I made it seem daunting. I tried to show all the steps I went through. Sometimes looking at a project as a whole seems overwhelming, but if you just look at it in steps, it can look better. Steps 1&2, do this and that… then step 3 do this… Don’t rush, make sure you have plenty of time, get a friend to help, and keep things well organized.
How mindful and thoughtful of you! Don’t worry, you were incredibly informative and I appreciate the detailed steps. I really appreciate you taking the time to share and upload, means a lot!
Nice write up! I just finished putting in a new radiator after the dealer wanted to charge me $1300 in labor. Hardest part was taking the physical radiator out and then putting the new one in. Just take your time and pull all the tubes and hoses aside as you go. Of note... I have a 2012 JKU. There was no 8mm bolt holding the tubing in place on the lower/outer driver's side. The 2 tubes were held in place by plastic push in squeeze type holders? Not sure what they are called. But the new radiator had the same setup as well as a bolt hole for the 8mm just in case I guess.
Nice job Dale..👍👍
Thank you!
Crazy, this is exacly the problem I’m having with my 2014 jku sport. Changed the radiator cap, got a new thermostat and reservoir, even had the bottom hose replaced. Still went through coolant, no visible leaks and afraid to get another pressure test. Might try this next. I really hope it does not end up needing a new head gasket…
What did you come up with
@@SwaveyTv a good engine bay rinse seems to of made a big difference, coolant level has been static.
@@The_Speed_of_Darkness did you have a problem with overheating?
Just wondering how many gallons did you use to fill up the cooling system
I just put a mishimoto radiator and coolent filter system in mine and now theres no room for the overflow tank, so it looks like I'll be ordering a small universal one, just a heads up if your installing the JK mishimoto one.....
Did you ever do a video on cutting the filter open to see what it caught?
Top class work my friend.
Thanks!
Great video except it’d be nice if when showing where one of the last bolts down underneath are, if you didn’t cut the video then I could find it (7:16)
Total front end rebuild to replace the radiator. Insanity. Has to be one of the more complicated radiator switch outs. Thx for the video. I don't have a Jeep. Just was watching to see how complex it IS. I bet a shop get a NICE price for this job.
Welcome back. Looks like a tedious job.
Thanks Scott!! Back at it
I just found a leak today. It seems to be coming from where the hose and thermostat connect. It seems to be dripping there. I tighten up the clamp but if it keeps leaking do you suggest the hose needs replacing if the thermostat opens up? Thanks and great videos!!
Sucked a Rat into the Air intake ! That'll make it run hot !!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Does it run cooler on the gauge?
Yep
How has this unit held up after a year? My radiator cracked today and if this is a viable replacement that lasts I'd much rather do this than switching to aluminum.
Still works great!
Someone makes a 2 row replacement for the jk, seen them on Amazon
Ah! Haven’t seen that
@@JeepSolid I have a 16, and have had to flush out casting sand from the cooling system, the radiator & Recovery bottle had some in there too@56k miles, thinking of just replacing the water/thermostat and radiator... I've flushed out the heater core really well...
@@leskobrandon538 All the motors were die cast ( no sand). The coolant from the factory had stop leak added to it. Over time the stop leak builds up in your heater core. Eventually clogging the passages. The long life coolant actually bonds with the metals and it simply won’t flush as you surely found out. You have to replace the heater core and use new non Mopar coolant to get your heater running properly again.
my fan wont shut off so its not regulating i guess. keeping the inside from heating up. what part needs to be changed. 2015 sport
Same! When I turn the engine off, it takes a few seconds for the loud fan to stop. Thought my coolant tank was cracked, but I just checked it and it’s crack free. I’m wondering if it’s a crack in my radiator or the upper radiator hose. I’m trying to figure out if it’s my head gasket which I hope it’s not, I’m still learning about the specific mechanics of my 2015 JKU
Sahara.
@@wolvenfae i got emanuel which shows you how to take apart but it doesnt tell ya if a problem is happening whats the cause
Operating Temperature
How did the new radiator affect your operating temperature?
+, or - ?
It was running hot. Now runs at normal operating temp. Around 200
Thanks for the reply.
I'm new to Jeeps and Jeep-isms.
My Jeep has a brand new water pump and coolant flush. It rides between 200° and 219°. It's not overheating, just never realized this 3.6 runs so warm.
Is the engine cover needed on a JK?
No
Screw that! I only watched so I could reassure myself that working on my YJ is a piece of cake. And I never have to move the horn for anything.
no one cares
Did it stop leaking with the new rad?
Yes. New rad and hoses. Working well
@@JeepSolid good to hear. I changed my rad on my 03 jk a few weeks ago thanks to one of your videos
Changing a radiator on a Jeep should be a *lot easier than this.
🤣
Check your pet 🐔
Yep. She’s doing well
