Very usefull video. I was able to pull out the radiator without removing the A/C condenser and I didn't have to evacuate the lines. There is a bolt on the side of the A/C line (10mm) that you can remove and it detaches from the radiator. Just a little wiggle room and the radiator comes right out. Saved me a LOT of time and money. Great Video otherwise!! Mine is a 2017 Journey SXT 3.6L

Прочитав ваш коментар, знайшов того болта і зняв радіатор охолодження, не знімаючи радіатор кондиціонера, правда знімав радіатор охолодження АКПП

He made this job look hard as possible lol. Brother it isn’t this hard, I guess he needs to make it look good though lol

Thank you so much this helped tremendously! I got stuck on the radiator feet going in their hole so I took a break but thank you for the awesome video!

You're welcome! Glad this video was helpful 👍

You don’t have to take off the bumper but it is best if you do. Reason is, because the radiator has a drain plug at the bottom right. (Driver side).

Definitely do not pressure wash the condenser if it's super dirty....

DO NOT GO BASED OFF THIS VIDEO, I MADE IT TO 2.26 MINUTES AND HAD SEEN ENOUGH ERRORS TO KNOW THIS ISNT WORTH WATCH! WATCH AT YOUR OWN RISK

Thank You!!

My wife is looking at a 2017 journey, and the seller informed her that he had taken it to a shop and they told him it needed the radiator replaced, I'm just wondering as I have no experience with this engine/drive train specifically, is this a common issue?

it tends to be, i own the same year as yours 2017 3.6 , dodge uses some shitty antifreeze/coolant from the factory so its very common for leaks from either the radiator, water pump or thermostat, as well as clogged heater cores , where you'll only get heat from the driver side its a pain in the ass LOL

I like dealing with the local parts store. A lot of times you get a good warranty and if something goes wrong you can easily return it.

@@ValleyMobileAutomotive yeah i get everything from local parts stores but some reason the radiator is expensive there , i might just get it from there because its literally across the street and i have discounts with them

Bro i just replaced mine and it took me 25 mins didn’t have to remove the condenser

Nice! 👍

Chrysler sucks why make it connected to the ac system the way they do. Should be able to take it apart and get to a servicable part without the extra crap of the ac system. They could have done it better.

I think I know what he's talking about. Way at the bottom of the bumper cover below the radiator etc. Might be a power steering cooler?
