Well, now with my New AC Delco Radiator and a New Water Pump installed on my '03 Suburban, the temperature gauge is right where it belongs and the front & rear heaters are really putting out the warmth like never before. I'm guessing the engine is a happy camper once again with full flow and so am I. Once again, thank you for this video, it was a lifesaver for me by making a $1,200 to $1,400 repair run me only about $370 and, taking my time, just under 8 hours of having fun doing this with my brother. Yes, we did break for lunch. . . LOL. I'm 67 and he's 70! We felt like teenagers again taking our time and enjoying each other's company and reminiscing about those days when we were building Hot Rods in the 1960s. Great times then and now once again! If you're healthy, you're never too old to wrench! Ha haa . . . . . . The Best to you Good Sir!

How cool

This is like a 2 hour job, Chevy made it very simple to replace this radiator. Anyone with basic auto skills, and understanding, with not have a problem. Keep in mind they used different types of radiators depending on your model. I believe there are at least 3, maybe 4. Very good video though.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. Good video.

Great video. Thanks for showing so many of the little steps.

Wonderful step by step how to .. 3:20 add on tip for diy not in rush, fixes, clean the a/c condensor from all the dirt salt spray and bugs the same way the stearliship mechanics fo in their own cars after hours, taking good care of this wonderful 5.3L gm.

This was fantastic, I’ve watched quite a few other videos, by far and away, this was the best video for a mechanic dummy like me, your video gave me the confidence to do it myself. My break was at the same spot, and I didn’t have a clue, went for a year, and probably 12 gallons of antifreeze before I had to seriously do it. Man, you are a life saver. Thank you so much, I can’t wait to see what else you put out for us weekend warriors.

Thank You for the detailed video. I was able to replace the radiator and thermostat with no problems.

Now this is how you do an instructional video. VERY detailed instructions, if not the best. Thank you and a new Subscriber! 👍

Great detail; really helped me to change my radiator in less than an hour!

Great detailed video and camera work. Thank you for doing this for us it will save me a lot of trial and error.

Very through and practical video. Changing mine out tomorrow. Thanks!

Sweet, hope it goes as planned on a Tahoe. Replacing the t-stat as well, along with new hose clamps. Always better to be safe than sorry

Thanks for this video. My 2001 yukon is cracked in exactly the same place. Will be using your video when I replace it.

Outstanding instructional video !! Very well done sir !

Hey man, this was really detailed. Thank you

I don’t know shit about cars or trucks but decided to give this a go and man was that fun. Thank you!

Well explained.. I have the same issue with my 04 silverado the radiator has a big crack same spot as the one you showed../ thank you for the video

Nice work man!

Perfect video.. thank you so much for been very detailed

Thank You for an excellent video. I have the exact same year & model Suburban. Love the fact that you took the time to pretty much make sure you had good camera angles and good focus so we could actually see what you were doing, with just a couple of spots that were tough for you to get to and also film while working. Hats off to you! Finally, a video that made sense for we "Backyard Mechanics" trying to save a few dollars and gain experience. Well done Good Sir and yes, I also just Subscribed to your channel.

Great job brother!!! 👍

Thanks this gone come in handy for my 2001 chevy tahoe LS

Great video thanks for the help

Thank you. Big help!

Very well detail video .

Great Video.

Nice, thank you sir!!

This is a great real world video, not done in a fancy clean shop where mechanics have all the expensive fancy tools. This is exactly what I needed to see. What size are the bolts that hold the shroud cover and the top of the radiator? Thanks for this video.

Great job!

my 03 silverado is leaking coolant . I will have to look at that break spot you showed. I assumed it was hoses so I got hoses and new clamps

What is the extra threaded port hole not used on the bottom driver side of radiator ?

What size radiator is that

How did you determine it was the crack that seems to be happening on this type of vehicle? I have a 2001 Silverado 1500 LS 5.3L V8. I have a mystery leak that maybe originating where you pointed. I replaced the heater core 2 years ago myself over 2 days. This video looks like it is a great help to do this.

Are tahoe radiators interchangeable with escalade radiators

Question. If I’m gonna replace my leaky radiator on my 03 Silverado, should I replace anything else since I can access so many things? All parts are original. Btw great video!!

Thank you 👍

What's the radiator looking deal in front of the radiator? I'm not talking about the smaller AC condenser.

You don't lose that much, usually less than a half a pint. Just check the dip stick and add to get it to the proper level.

My 2500 Silverado 2004 just got that EXACT crack and location.

Just regular Brake Parts Cleaner. You can also take a gallon jug of water and use that. A lot of water will get rid of it just as well.

18:36 what is the actual name for this part? Its leaking and that ring is broken off on my silverado.

That's the connection for the transmission cooler line. If you remove the line like I do in the video, there is 1 or 2 o rings inside. They're probably worn out. They can be removed with a pick if you're careful, and just work replacements in their place. The plastic piece is just a safety cover to ensure the retaining clip doesn't come out. It's not the end of the world if it's broken.

@@DIYAutoHomeschool thanks to your video I went to orielys got the transmission connector valve which gone bad, was cheap, and replaced it. I was glad the line didnt gone bad. And I figured it out about the protective ring lol I was worried tho it was part of the valve. Thanks again!

Yes. Same exact setup on my 01 as this video. My radiator just started leaking a month ago.

Can anyone help me? My mechanic is saying he will replace my radiator for $725. He has always been honest with me. Does that seem a little high?
