Bro absolutely perfect!! This saved me so much time and energy. Hands down best video! If I had any suggestions, I would show the boltd and screws that were taken out after each segment.
Great video!!! I knocked this radiator replacement project out in a day on my Pacifica because of the great work you did on this. Loved the simple way you showed things, not too much info, but just he right amount of info. You were spot on with the process and there wasnt a single surprise fastener or hurdle you didnt go over. Highly Recommend this for anyone with a 2018 Chrysler Pacifica that needs a radiator replacement the way i did.
I want to commend you on a very very excellent video. I have watched many that should have followed your formula. You saved me hours! Thank you thank you thank you. The only thing could be better is showing how you take the bumper of of the speed bracket. It took me a few to figger out u have to push down in the bracket to get it started. It would have been helpful to show that. Again ty sir!!
Well I'm glad the video simplifies the steps needed to get the job done easy, but yes I'm sure there is few steps I forgot to show, definitely thank you for the opportunity to help out saving you money and hrs on this job.
@@kennyadriankc Chryslers are kind of a bitch to work on in general. I just did the rear brakes on my coworker’s Pacifica, and it’s great that I learned how to do it because my 200 has the same stupid electronic parking brake. I watched TH-cam videos before I even took a tire off because I had a feeling it was going to be different than any other vehicle I’ve done brakes on before.
@@DiligentDave1966 Yes they are trying copy Germany cars, trying for the clients to depend only on the dealership or auto shops because everything its done with a scanner to put on service mode lol
I have a leak right where the upper rad hose connects to the radiator and its gotta be a crack or something in that upper hose connection, I replaced the hose and it still leaks, but thanks to you guys I see I will have a ton of stuff to remove to have room to patch that crack since you get like no room to reach it from above normally
Glad I could help out guiding you , but I can tell you a patch on this radiator it's not a fix , the problem the plastic when it gets hot it will open the crack and it will leak again and maybe next time you are in a position that can't even patch it and it will be more $$$ just a heads up, best of luck.
Leave it ingenious Chrysler to have to remove all these parts just for a radiator. I have to replace mine as well. Thanks a lot for this video, really appreciate it. 👍🏻
@@kennyadriankc I feel you brother. My older 2005 Subaru Outback you remove 4 upper bolts and 2 switches and the whole radiator comes out with fans and all..
Started do this today. I removed the front bumper but believe it or not I’m having the hardest time removing the driver side front bumper main connector. 🤦🏻♂️
Thanks for sharing. I'm 45% through this. Rad started leaking pass side. You helped clarify perfectly the areas I was skeptical to touch and was hesitant to fool with. I have a 2017 with 130k. Owned since new in '16. I guess I 'should' feel lucky this did not happen to my Pacifica sooner. Just recently changed the oil filter housing due to failure. Staring at the front of the engine working on the rad it's clear I'm leaking oil out of the front valve cover on to the alternator and exhaust!
Glad I could help, but yes the most normal problems the have its oil cooler housing leaking water or oil mixing with the water inside engine, get the oil cooler update out of aluminum, radiator, valve cover best of luck.
Great video thanks for sharing. I am replacing the oil filter housing and wanted to drop a little bit of coolant out so that the level is below the top of the engine and hopefully I will not have a hard time getting any air out. Is there a drain plug at the bottom of that radiator on the drivers side. i have looked mine over pretty good and can only find what LOOKS like a drain plug possibly on the drivers side bottom but I don't want to crank on it till I know for sure that is not like a bracket for a support in another application. It flush with NO flange to grip, it is recessed inside with splines that fit a 3/8" drive socket extension. Sure looks like a drain plug. Radiator hoses are a real pain to get to so looking for an easy way to do a controlled partial drain on it....please let me know if anyone knows where the drain is on these and has a picture. I have a picture of what I am looking at but I cannot figure out how to post it here! Tks D
Hello I glad I could help out, I'm sure I should have a video on the oil cooler / housing replacement as well, if it looks like a socket it s most likely the drain, but what you could also do it take the thermostat out and that will drain.
What process did you follow to bleed air from the cooling system after refilling it? I’m asking because I changed my water pump and thermostat, but I didn’t see a bleeder screw anywhere, so I squeezed the upper radIator hose in hopes of pushing any air out. Now, I’m getting a P0118 engine code for the ECT sensor which is also new as it comes with the water pump. Besides that sensor or thermostat possibility being faulty, which I doubt because it’s new, another possibility is an air pocket. I used all new Mopar parts too. Thanks.
You will need to turn the car with the heating system on front and back with the cap of the radiator of keep checking until there really hot air coming out of the vent inside the car.
@@kennyadriankc Thanks. I did that and I ran it with the coolant reservoir cap off while squeezing the upper radiator hose when the engine was at operating temp. I’m pretty sure if there was any air it’s gone now.
Get to the point on the video where I remove the fan and try going from there what you need to do to make it lose and you should be able to take it out
I'm told that you have to recharge the A?C after replacing radiator in the Pacifica. I didn't hear you mention that. Can you clarify, please? And thank you for a great vid.
I wouldn't do it that way. Reason been the torque converter holds the most of the oil inside , so anyways you will still have it running with old oil, so you will have to do it a few times anyways to really get as much of the old oil out, unless you have it running with the lines off and gravity feeding one line and the other dumping into a tank. But that will take a lot of oil.
@@kennyadriankc Yes I would run the old out and fresh in with the motor running. Lots of vids here show how, using the cooler lines. Takes a few gallons to get it all.
It was definitely a process and 2 people working are it so , if you do it your self one person depending on how practice you have but ill say take the day off lol it will be from 4-8hr give or take if you get any set backs lol
Well it all depends how handy you are as a mechanic, but if I remember correctly we spend about 4-5 hr, im sure now with this video and knowing how its done we can cut sometime off. But plan for around 4-7hr job.
@@kennyadriankc I’m pretty damn mechanically inclined, but I see from your video that it’s still pretty time consuming to get everything apart and back together.
@@MrJoeltrain I can already tell he’s not gonna get off cheap if he wants me to do it. He would also probably have to leave his van at work for a few days because I can’t work on a vehicle for 6 hours straight due to my schedule.
I did the job a lot faster because we where 2 on the same job normally any shop will only be 1 person doing it. But ill say with today's market on parts and cost of things ill say easy $1800 including parts been around $600 or so.
2018 Pacifica have problems where the coolant leaks into the engine causing a misfire in the cylinder, requiring a complete engine replacement. Beware!
So this POS needed a new radiator in 4 years????? Another reason to avoid all vehicles produced by Fiat/Chrysler like the plague. My 1994 F150 still has the original radiator.

MUY BUEN VIDEO AMIGO YO TENGO UNA 2017 PACIFICA LIMETED Y TENGO QUE CAMBIAR EL CONDENSADOR DEL A/C SALUDOS DESDE VENUS TEXAS
Gracias tigre , que bien que este video definitivamente te ayudará a llegar al condensador 🤣 saludos desde naples florida
Thanks for the video. You saved me thousands because my van needs a radiator.
That's what I'm here for if I could help im glad to do so, thank you
A shop quoted my coworker $900, and the radiator is only $150. Now I see why they were quoting so much. It’s all the labor just to get it swapped out.

@@mf9309 radiator has a drain cap, lower passenger side in radiator
Is the 2017 replacement about the same as the 2018? I'm thinking about replacing it myself.
Hello yes it should be the same
Where did you guys purchase the radiator, I have been looking for one and can’t seem to find it nowhere?
If I'm not mistaken it was an order for next day or over the weekend from advance autopart
Thanks
Welcome
Do you have a video just to replace the fan?
Get to the point on the video where I remove the fan and try going from there what you need to do to make it lose and you should be able to take it out
I'm told that you have to recharge the A?C after replacing radiator in the Pacifica. I didn't hear you mention that. Can you clarify, please? And thank you for a great vid.
No you don't have to , just have to move the condenser a side , don't disconnect the lines on it, look at the video you will see.
@@kennyadriankc Thank you. This is tremendously helpful.
Would you think you need to remove the front fascia(bumper) to remove the transmission cooler lines to do a tranny flush?
I wouldn't do it that way. Reason been the torque converter holds the most of the oil inside , so anyways you will still have it running with old oil, so you will have to do it a few times anyways to really get as much of the old oil out, unless you have it running with the lines off and gravity feeding one line and the other dumping into a tank. But that will take a lot of oil.
@@kennyadriankc Yes I would run the old out and fresh in with the motor running. Lots of vids here show how, using the cooler lines. Takes a few gallons to get it all.
Correct if you go that method you will need to get to the oil cooler line one to drain and the other to do the suction
do you have to do all this just to replace the FAN or is that easier than replacing the whole radiator?
No fan its way easier then this
@@kennyadriankc do you have a video for just the fan?
Just advance the video to where the I start taking the fan out and try doing it with out the rest of the process it should come out
how long did this really take
It was definitely a process and 2 people working are it so , if you do it your self one person depending on how practice you have but ill say take the day off lol it will be from 4-8hr give or take if you get any set backs lol
How long did it take you?
My coworker is going to want me to do this for him, and I’m trying to figure out how much I should charge him.
Well it all depends how handy you are as a mechanic, but if I remember correctly we spend about 4-5 hr, im sure now with this video and knowing how its done we can cut sometime off. But plan for around 4-7hr job.
@@kennyadriankc I’m pretty damn mechanically inclined, but I see from your video that it’s still pretty time consuming to get everything apart and back together.
Took me 6 hours and I'm pretty good I think lol

@@DiligentDave1966 I did it for $350 but he's one of my bf's
How many miles were on that?
If I remember correctly it had about 60-80k somewhere in there not much
what city and state are you from
Naples fl
Radiator last round 10years ,, why only 4years it gone???
Same as chevy suburban/silverado ac condenser they get a small pin hole on a corner an its game over and normally diver side top corner. 😕
@@kennyadriankc Yup. All due to German engineering and plastics.
Mine has 55k and leaking as well

Yes they all have the same problem. It just depends how soon you get it lol that's all.
@@kennyadriankc thank to this video I’m repairing it right now.
2018 Pacifica have problems where the coolant leaks into the engine causing a misfire in the cylinder, requiring a complete engine replacement. Beware!
Yes this engine they have a few problems, with heads cracking, valve , compression lost in cilynder, oil cooler , oil pump just a few lol
Definitely not doing this myself 😅
Yes its not a 5 minute job or a battery replacement, it takes some courage to make it happen lol 😆
Bro..u didn't have to do any of that
I'm sure I didn't have to its not my car, but if there is a better way please show , because this was an intensive operation lol
