To be clear: My 2006 Jeep Liberty Sport has an external transmission cooler. Should I order a radiator that has external cooler bracket?
The radiator will have one installed already😊
Best video for this, thx. So nothing is done with the transmission cooler red plugs?
Not in this Jeep. There's a separate external transmission cooler so those ports are not used. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
Do u have to plug them up if ur not using them or do u have to plug them up so nothing comes out
Leave them.plugged. won't hurt Nythinf.
What are the plugs for the trans coolant lines for the radiator called ???
They're just plastic plugs to keep the threads and the cooler clean until installation. I have a separate transmission cooler so these ports weren't used in this instance.
@@midwestsynthetic so do I just install the radiator and the leave the plastic plugs it came with on the trans coolant lines because mine is like yours it has a separate line for that?? Nothing will leak out ? Sorry so many q’s
Nothing will leak out. It's a closed loop for an application with a trans cooler built into the radiator. With a separate trans cooler it's not used. Since those ports aren't needed, the plastic plugs are fine, even if they fall out.
Would this be the same for a jeep patriot.. all these other videos their taking off the entire front bumper ..??
Hey so my I just finished installing my new radiator and I was wondering how much coolant I have to put in because I started it up 2x and each time the coolant gets sucked down even though I filled it to the top. Do I have to repeat this step or am I doing something wrong
Assuming it's not leaking or getting sucked in around a bad head gasket it will stabilize after you get the air out. Should be about 3 gallons. Once you get it filled it may drop a little more after you've had it to operating temp and the thermostat opens (but check it cold!!). Thanks!
where did you buy your radiator?
Got the radiators from autozone. Thanks.
@@midwestsynthetic Autozone as in the Duralast one they sell? I have this job coming up as well and there is varied complaints out there on some that the external trans cooler won’t mount etc. looked like the one you got fit correct for the external trans cooler
Yes, Duralast brand from Autozone. I replaced the radiator in two different 2006 Libertys and both fit perfectly. As they say, your mileage may vary but it worked OK for me. Thanks for the question! Have fun with your project!!
@@midwestsynthetic thanks, good video. Yea I’m frustrated with my Jeep as I just did the water pump, thermostat, upper and lower radiator hoses, res tank last Saturday (water pump leak) and within 90 miles the radiator sprung a leak behind the upper inlet. I guess as long as it’s just the radiator it’s not too bad. Hoping that’s the last thing as the remaining fail points would be quite bad😂. Don’t borrow trouble my mom used to say🙂
Plastic radiator. Probe to cracking.
Fantastic vid. I just bought one of these as a beater and the rad is cracked.
Fun project. Thanks for the comment!!
Good beater to have.
There should be a bleeder screw on the engine side of the upper radiator hose. Both my 2005 Grand Cherokee and 2007 Liberty have them. I believe the transmission cooler lines on the radiator are for two-wheel drive models.
2 wheel driver here and no the cooler lines arent used. Same set up.and I believe the bleeder is actually a filler release. Open it up when you fill it cold to the line as it releases the air for filling.
For the plugs in the new radiator where could you find them the radiator i purchased did not come with any plugs
The plastic plugs keep debris out during shipment. If you're not using the trans cooler in the radiator there's really no reason to plug them. The subject vehicle has a separate trans cooler. The replacement radiator probably also fits something that uses the internal cooler. The two jeeps I replaced the radiators on both had external coolers so those ports weren't used.
GM dexcool compatible?
Thanks for the question! It's best to flush the system before changing coolant types.
Below is the compatibility comment from the AMSOIL Propylene Glycol Antifreeze & Coolant data sheet:
“Compatible With Other Fluids
Propylene Glycol Antifreeze & Coolant is dyed neutral yellow and is compatible with all ethylene and propylene antifreeze and coolant colors, as well as all plastics and elastomers (hoses, gaskets, etc.) found in cooling systems. It is also compatible with fully formulated diesel antifreezes and other organic acid technology (OAT) and hybrid organic acid technology (HOAT) formulations. Mixing propylene and ethylene glycol formulations can make it difficult to predict freeze protection. If mixing for top-off is unavoidable, it is recommended to flush the cooling system at the next convenient opportunity.”
