    Get your daily "FIX" here on Instagram (like the turbo kit I am about to post): instagram.com/ChrisFixit/
    Also, I got another discount code for 25% off your entire order from Advance Auto... Use code "RADIATOR" for 25% off anything (not just radiators). I got that code for you guys and for myself lol... I dont make any money off of it and the idea is to try to make fixing your car even more affordable, so put it to good use!!!

I found a radiator at a salvage yard I will grab this weekend and with this vid and the super flush vid, I’m confident I’ll get it done and back on the road. Plus, save some $$$. Big thanks

    When I was 14 I got my first truck at a local scrapyard it was 1994 ford ranger XLT extended cab 4.0L standard. It was in horrible shape it needed a clutch and the interior needed to be redone and they ripped the radiator out for scrap and the A/C didn’t work so I spent my summer fixing that truck up and the first thing I did was replaced the water pump and radiator. Then I did the clutch then the interior I put a new headliner in and took the carpet out and washed it and the seat covers as well then I got the A\C working I put propane as the Freon and it puts out 15or20 at its coldest. It was a fun learning experience! I still drive it to this day! (I’m 17 now) Amazing truck. I love how stock it is and I plan on leaving it that way!

    Hey Chris,
    I just wanted to say thanks so much for making these videos. I've already saved hundreds changing oil, cleaning the MAF, cleaning batteries, restoring headlights, flushing radiators brake lines and transmissions in my car. Will replace the wife's hybrid battery too, when that happens. I follow the mantra "do it once, do it right" and I'm glad you show the complete methods (torquing, threadlocking, etc).
    Haven't owned a car in 6 years (until now) so working on this thing has been a blast because of your vids.
    Thanks for your time and effort buddy, it impacts plenty of us!

    One tip to throw out is that the thermostat housing on most cars have a habit of cracking and leaking due to thermal fatigue. If you are going through all this trouble, it's probably worth at the very least looking to see how much a brand new one will cost. I'd also suggest replacing the bolts that hold it on, and the hose if you're able to find a new one (which tends to dry out and crack if you're car is old enough..

    Chris’ simplest videos are sometimes his best. “Looks like I need a new radiator” *teaches millions how to do 90% of the cooling system work they’ll ever have to do*

    This place is so tight, also puts the camera in most unconfortable places.😅 nice view points. From you I learned how to change the radiator, hoses, oil pan, filters, transmision, cracked windshield, how to do oil/antifreeze flushes and many more. Now I learn how to change my distribution kit - timing belt, water pump, bearings and at the end pistons, valves, camshafts, springs etc. Thank you Cris
