Perfect video. Not unnecessary long or too much talking. Thx keep going

[@soulohthru2973]

A1 Auto had the best videos I could find my for my truck so far, until this year. In February, I found a video on a rare part replacement. And honestly I think someone could really capitalize on those super out of the way parts like the blend door actuators, or clutch safety switches. Thank you so much for taking the time to make theses tutorials. You’ve made me a better DIY mechanic. Love from Washington!

[@UFOGHOSTHUNTER]

That lid flip.
Nice✅

[@christinebaker3293]

[@lowellirish]

That was a great video, and helped me alot! However...you didn't mention about the TWO lines entering the radiator on the DRIVERS SIDE??!!!

[@seth3054]

[@sawyerbarnes7439]

So here in a weird situation lol will a 1995 radiator fit in my 1997 c1500 with the 5.7?

[@TateReggie]

[@angelguzman05]

[@juli0cesarrobles738]

💯

[@user-jj7fu5wz9n]

I got a strawberry milkshake going on with my atf mixed in with coolant on my 7.5 liter chevy

[@davidmiller9056]

according to your video this is how to change out a radiator in a 1988-2000 chevy. now are these radiators enterchangable

[@HOTRODRICO]

depends on the engine and tranny... and/or packages associated with your truck.. like a manual tranny truck won't have the tranny cooler connections in the radiator for example... etc

[@Arizona_Vineyard]

@@HOTRODRICO ahhhh… you take all your measurements and go to a junk yard. You’re going to see how many radiator s will actually fit

[@dandub6826]

At 4:15 what the purpose of that hose

[@tcibutler]

Goes to heater core

[@tdw5933]

Save yourself a headache pull the radiator hose leave the pet cock alone, there is no room around the pet cock, that's why I am pulling my brand new radiator the plastic wing on the pet cock broke less than a month old, leave the pet cock alone, you have been warned, and I was foolish for thinking it would work, beware!!! What size socket for the shroud? It's a ten mm. After looking at the pet cock on the new radiator I have not a clue on how it works, Chi-com crap, if you are outside at four in the morning, little things like this help, it looks like all I have to do is put the pet cock in the original position. LEAVE THE PETCOCK ALONE, Unless leaking.

[@BigBADSTUFF69]

if you are going this deep, change the hoses! great video though
