- This video is of a radiator change on my 2003 Dodge Caravan. I speak throughout the video of how to do the remove and replace. I sped up the video to 1.5 to make the video shorter and in doing so my voice got a little squeaky. This job actually took me 1.5hrs to complete and it was a very simple job at a low cost, if you do it yourself. Good luck and fire off a question if you have any.
This video is best served for people who already know how to replace a radiator. Someone wanting to learn and first-timers, not so much.
Maybe so……..but it’s really not that difficult……..straight forward removal and installation. Thanks for watching and commenting.
As of today May 10 and a few thousand kilometers later this radiator has been flawless. Great value and I recommend this product.
Those tend to leak at the top above the hose. You won't notice a leak but you'll be smelling anti-freeze and losing it. There will be no pressure either as the plastic tank is cracked.
You are probably right but I sold the van before it failed again. Thanks for the comment.
@@codraven57 I replaced the radiator a second time, this time with an all-aluminum one.
@@adotintheshark4848 oh crap! She should last now.
Thank you for this video! Question - what is the typical radiator lifespan nowadays? I replaced the radiator two years ago on my Dodge Caravan 2007 with 190K km (the original) Now, the new one I installed started to leak 212K km on the side where the plastic and metal parts join. Can it be that the lower manifold gases leak and create extra pressure for the coolant and that is why the radiator goes?
The lifespan can vary a lot........no not the gases because your rad cap will take care of any extra pressure in the system. It may be instalation and the fact that they don't make shit as good as they used to. Some of the aftermarket parts will last a long while and some not so much. Good luck with it and thanks for viewing and commenting......I hope this vid help you.
Nice video but you need to be more careful with your tools on the battery.
I agree! Thanks for viewing and commenting.
Does the radiator need oil and transmission lines
The radiator doesn't need it but the transmission needs the cooling of the radiator. So you have a seperate section of the rad that cools your transmission.
@@codraven57 does it leak when you change?
@@redsealjourneymanreviews6647 a little spillage but not much.
is there a tranny cooler? is it ieasy? what type of coolant?
I don’t remember but if it is it’s not interfering with the rad switch out. You will capture most if not all that’s required. You can get a universal all compatible coolant now for a top up.
great video....why do you have to lift the tranny and a/c coolers to get the coolant radiator in? are there clips or tabs?
Yeah, they are all attached to each other there. I don't remember if it was clips or small bolts. It will make sense when you get in there at it. Good luck, and thanks for watching!
Why does the video keep pausing and skipping at a few places? What didn't you want us to see? lol.
I'd rather see you make a mistake than to make the same mistake because you didn't show me what to watch out for.
No reason, only to shorten the video and not to make it longer and boring.
Donald Duck working on cars?....lol.... thanks for the info... did this a yr ago having to do it again due to deer xing...dangit... radiator and a.c. condenser both again 😨
Hope you got some info from this.
Cartoon voice did not impress me and the video froze a few times
Thanks for watching and your opinion. This was back in my early editing days. I encourage you to view my latest video series involving fixing up a 56yr old sailboat.
