    Great work at making a very difficult job on a WJ look so easy. I have done a few radiator changes and I cannot tell how much easier it is with the driver (and an assistant). Keep up the good work. P.S. Love General's license plate.

    Thanks for the fun video. My '03 Grand Cherokee needs a radiator. The local garage wants $769 to do the job. That's crazy, considering I can buy a lifetime radiator for under 100 bucks, and do it myself. After watching other videos, some mechanics have successfully done the job without removing the headlights, grille or bumper.

    Thanks for the video Dan. Have this same Jeep…bought from father in law. Overheated and mechanic told me lifters are bad. Also have radiator leak…like your video. We have the e fan off but no time to check the relay. Debating to just get rid of but we have some money in a lift kit and new rims and tires. I know you haven’t seen the Jeep but would appreciate your opinion on keeping.

    • @ProjectDanH
      @ProjectDanH  2 роки тому

      If it's a 4.0 keep it. give it an oil flish. Use rotella oil with zinc to lube the lifters.. also try ristlone.. great additive to help quiet lifters.. radiators are not too hard to fix... and while your doing the rad you can give it a new fan relay (under the passenger headlight) Give it some TLC and you'll be fine!

    Great video. Question how do you drain your coolant from your engine block? I assume If you just open up the radiator bottom valve coolant is still left in engine block and heater core. Thx

    • @ProjectDanH
      @ProjectDanH  2 роки тому +2

      That is correct, there will be residual fluid in the block. if you dont want to flush it out with a hose there is a square drain plug on the block behind the drivers side motor mount. they are hard to see as they are usually camouflaged by oil dirt and grease

  • @DEInTheGarage
    @DEInTheGarage 3 роки тому

    • @ProjectDanH
      @ProjectDanH  3 роки тому

      I don't think it matters if you have the whole nose off but I think you gotta put it on first and install it as a unit if your gonna jimmy jam them out without taking off the front. I have you guys a shout in part 2 because your vid is so good and so different. 💪

    Those threaded pieces that screw into the radiator for the transmission lines. Do you just tighten them all the way down into the radiator and then tighten the lock nut onto it, and then screw the line fitting onto the threaded piece?
