Best YT video on this procedure, and I've watched many. Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
Why wouldn't you just detach the fan shroud and leave it so you can just pull the radiator out without detaching the fan clutch?
Excellent video. No rambling, no unnecessary background music, no joking around, etc. Everything Brian said was straight to the point and very informative. Thank you so much.
Thank you!
This was the best! It took me a little longer but was able to replace my radiator and thermostat! What a difference. Thank you
You are one of the BEST youtube. EXCELLENT explaination and camera work-Keep up the good work
Thank you!
Never did this before but this video was so helpful, took me an hour and a half to complete the job. Thanks a bunch
This is a very well produced video, all "meat and potatoes," no wasted time. I didn't have to toggle back and forth between this and Minesweeper while some "expert" jabbered and rummaged about for tools. Well done, Brian!
Thank you 🙏 and thank you for watching!
Very well done, great pace and just the right amount of narration. And you admit your boo-boos! Thanks so much for doing this.
Thanks! Very clear step by step instructions. Great video perspectives as well. Narration was detailed and helpful also.
Good trick, paper in the socket, as a mechanic of over 20 years!
Very straight forward, and such a big help.
Thank you sir for helping me save some cash 👌🏼
Wow you’re probably one of the best TH-camrs on installing & uninstalling parts that I’ve ever seen. You’re very thorough and giving direction on where you are on the vehicle helps out a lot for people trying to DYI my question I have a 2008 Tundra had alternator replaced ($650)😩 thought that would solve the issue of temperature gauge rising when I take a grade and...he (Jester) the name of my Tundra🤣🤣 likes to spit out fluid? so now I’m thinking it’s got to be the thermostat? am I right? The temp only rises when I take a grade on a hill soon but as I get down the hill temp goes to normal never heats up just on the daily drive (45 min to work) only when I go up a steep grade... any thoughts?
Very nicely done vid. I just need to replace the thermostat and this is very helpful. Very tight spot, so I’ll probably remove the fan clutch and shroud to open up more space.
Excellent video for sure. Straight to the point and easy to understand.
Excellent video: precise, thorough, and a few tips! Thanks.
Thank you and thank you for watching!
Very well done video,,did not hear one “you know” my pet peeve. Will look for more vids!
Watched your video a few times. Excellent! I do want to remove and replace the lower hose and thermostat housing on my 2007 Tundra 5.7. I see where the overflow container is touched to the shroud. How can I remove just the overflow container to make more room to get to the thermostat? Thank you.
its so nice when those small bolts come loose in the rustbelt you got to get lucky for that. please tell us about that clip on torque angle meter you have ive never seen anything like it
Did you get the new radiador at a Toyota dealer or did you buy it else where, will appreciate your feed back thank you
I have a Question What sizes are the clamps the hoses use?
This is a really great video. I'll definitely hit the Subscribe button
Great demonstration and instructions.
125 SM thank you!
I’ve got a 2015 tundra 5.7 and the coolant doesn’t circulate in the radiator. Runs at normal temp and the heater works. I ran it pretty hard today and a lot of my coolant came out of my overflow. Checked the rad cap and it was in pieces. Got everything out of the rad from the cap I thought but the coolant still isn’t circulating? What could cause this? I have no coolant in my oil either and tuns fine so don’t think it’s a head gasket
Hi Brian..I have a 08 tundra v8 5.7..I just finished the water pump, thermostat, belt and tensioner etc..when finished I noticed leaking. Looked over my work and no leaks from water pump..turns out my damm radiator started leaking from the seals all of a sudden. New Rad cap also, Sankei oem...
Seems like such a coincidence..sometimes these things happen like this..I ve been working on cars for 30 plus years and you never stop learning. Even the most basic work sometimes humbles you. My question to you Brain as a professional mechanic after 12 years do radiators just crap out like this, when you do a lot of work to the car. ?? Coincidence or Maybe some mistake..
I did this job on my own truck 6 years ago also so not my first time..have a great one new sub!!
Noticed the front tires are worn out the outside. Worn out bearings or alignment?
Every helpfully thank you sir
Nice. Do you ever do oil changes on Cummins diesels? We could send you our new cap off tool to try out.
Motivx Tools unfortunately I do not see many diesel engines at all. Once in a blue moon.
I'm camping on our way here on a steep hill I felt something wrong I pulled over and the truck got hot can it be the fan clutch or thermostat? After it cooled I put antifreeze and didn't happen again radiator is not leaking . Frustrating the he'll out me in supposed to be relaxing 😒. Not till I get home ..
No link to the aluminum radiator wow
This is the best how to automotive repair video I have EVER seen. Straight to the point. This is what I like. Whachathink?
Great video, thanks.
Mine had an oil cooler that had to be removed to access the top left bolt
When I drive my tundra over 80 km an hour
The engine coolant gets hot 🥵
Heat in the car works really well
It never over heats in city
Would you know what it could be
what kind of customer would reuse a hose after replacing the expensive parts
I have a 07 tundra . The radiator always leak on the cap . Even if i put new cap on . You k ow whats wrong with it.
Is radiator removal necessary to only replace the thermostat? It seems like a tight squeeze but I would hate to lose all that coolant since I just had a flush done.
No it’s not
Is it necessary to drain the coolant from both sides of the block ?
For this job not really. If you're doing a complete coolant change I would drain the passenger side of the block. When I did mine I also drained the drivers side, about a 1/4 cup came out, not work the effort.
u don’t have to take the fan off at all to change the radiator, just did this job n that step is a waste of time
Question I live in california I feel as if the radiator hose feels hotter than normal , should I look into replacing the fan clutch ,or the thermostat? I believe it's the stock one . Also since I live in a hot area
Should ireplace the radiator nothing is wrong with it just wondering since we pull a travel trailer should I put a new one ?
BRUT3MURD3R3R I would start with the thermostat. It’s a very common feel your pain.
@@HowtoAutomotive thanks I will do that.
How long did that job take you to do? From start to finish!?
Gunner Waldmann I would say about 11/2 hours. It’s not to bad.
What is the capacity on that koyorad radiator?
I can't find any info
I don’t remember exactly but I believe it hold about 2 1/2 gallons of coolant
Any reason why replacing thermostat and radiator?
Lebron Jordan The radiator was leaking the thermostat was replaced as preventive maintenance.
Have you done a starter on one of those 5.7L ?
JJ. Gears They’re a bitch if you’ve never done one before
First one took me 6 hours
Spent Saturday replacing mines didn't take the manifold off I was able to get it out 😅 frustrating
I just bought this exact truck lol
MrGert150 great truck
MrGert150 it’s a nice truck for sure.
Customer may regret not changing the radiator hoses at this time, not that much more in time and dollars.
ICU2 I agree 100% but it was up to the customer and he chose not.
Not to mention the serp belt.
