Good.
I just done my97today I did not take that much crap off to do it. First thing take the battle cable loose at least the negative.
What a pain in the ass with that cross bar above it. There was some corner damage that never got fixed on the one I am working on so it is likely gonna take a herculean effort to get it out of the joint.
If ur gonna pull those water pumps, you should also remove the balancer and replace the timing cover gaskets
I'm trying to quit. Unless it leaks. Then I'll ask for my job back.
my upper tranny cooler line just got destroyed attempting to loosen it. Found the part but no idea how to proceed FML at least your video shows them unlike most , question does the truck need a tranny cooler if i dont tow?
Yes it does
whats up
THE PRICE OF WEEEEEEED
😂
Ironically ever since it was “legalized”
One of the best videos that describes how to. Great job
Great video getting ready to change out my Radiator my 2000 dakota . Those O-Rings i think im going to have to replace is their a certain kind to get ? Or it doesn't matter ? I don't want it to leak after i do all that work . Any suggestions anybody?
I have an assortment box from harbor freight, I usually just match up for things. HNBR for A/C.
@@RustBeltAuto Thank you for that info ! their is a harbor freight not far from me , and thanks for the quick responce back.
Take the water pump off with the fan put the fins of the water pump in a vice and i fan will be easier tp get off. Thats what i had to do
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO. Helped me a great deal replacing my water pump!
YOU'RE WELCOME.
I have a 2004 Dodge Dakota 180000 MI it was an excellent shape until a deer ran out in front of me took out my right fender headlight radiator bumper the grill air condensing unit I'm not a mechanic but I have all but the fender taking apart trying my best while I've got all this apart would it be smart to replace my water pump before it goes bad or should I not invest the money into the truck at all,? I'm not rich and where should I get my parts online?
If its not broke, don't fix it.
Anybody that can tell me where I can get that type reservoir with the longer upper and lower shroud, I'd really appreciate it. I'll be back to see. My 2004 3.7 had no fan and the electric can't keep up in hot weather. Great video!
Use a torque wrench because you're you. Use an impact because you're you.
Use an impact because you like strippped threads in aluminum
Ty so much for posting info on the Dodge Dakota. I have a 2001 and this video helps me out for Doing it my self ..
😁
I cant get the fan off :(
You mean the big nut? Did you leave the belt on, and hit it with a long chisel, or steel rod, and a hammer, on the edge of the nut? I always get those off.
my adapters on my dakota for the transmission lines were different size than the fitting on my radiator that i bought at advanced auto . what do you suggest?
Can you use your old adapters?
@@RustBeltAuto no they will not thread into the radiator, they are smaller in size. but it’s the correct radiator
@@MrJaimeisagangster are you sure there are not bushings you can unscrew from your old radiator, or a bag in the box of the new one. If you can not fit it somehow, return it, and get the right one. You might be a half year off or something. Best advice I can give you.
@@RustBeltAuto it didn’t come with any hardware which was wierd. but thanks! i will definitely check other models just in case.
Can you link the radiator
Whatchumean?
