Thank you man I just blew my side tank on my radiator. I have a 13 Silverado 6 L same truck and I went step-by-step by your KZread video. Thank you it’s still a pain in the ass to do but it’s got to be done.

Every KZreadr should learn how to do /show details from this guy. Wow ! You Sir are the magic hand. The way You showed every detail how to replace it is amazing. 👍👍👍

I try my best to make them straight to the point just how i would like to see them when i watch them my self 🤙

ThanKs for the details. I am helping my brother with his. You helped me to avoid some unnecessary teardown at those fittings. I was ready to break out the flare-nut wrenches. lol

Such a great video man. Succinct, to the point with no fluff, but at the same time detailed enough that an idiot can understand. Excellent work. Kudos.

@@SimpleSickBuilds for real man. I'm one of the least mechanically inclined people ever, my life experience includes changing a starter. Two weeks ago your video walked me through changing a cracked my radiator. I wouldn't have tried it if I hadn't seen this.

Thanks it helped out a lot

Do you have to take the front plastic cover off (the one further away from engine)? Not talking about the split fan shroud.

Did you use a flat head to take out the things for the fan

The hard lines going to the radiator on the driver's side are for engine oil, the hard lines on the passenger side are for transmission fluid. The caps that go over the hard line fittings not only retain the clip but keep water, grit, and salt from collecting between the fitting and line.

Is there a specific tool to undo those lines?

@@jeffreyfremouw6509 No specific tool that I know of, I have always used a screwdriver and/or right angle pick like he did. Right around 6:20 he starts talking about it, 7:20 starts showing how to work the clips out. Sometimes it helps to push the tube deeper into the fitting to take pressure off the fitting. If you don't have new fittings be really careful not to launch the clip.

Is there any difference from the 1500 radiator thinking of upgrading mine since third one

Thank you.

Good shit. 👍🏻

Thanks man

Perfect 🙏

So hey , you did well , but you didn’t replace the o-ring on the the lower rad hose . And I have a question did you burb the coolant system?

About to replace the radiator on a '12 2500 6.0. Thanks for the walk through! Any idea how much coolant and trans fluid you had to top off with after all said and done?

Mine took 1 gallon of coolant and just topped off the transmission fluid with less then a quart.

Those plug in thingys are called fittings

So let me get this straight, there is no drain on this radiator? I'm watching this since I'm trying to find where the drain is on my '13 2500HD with the 6.0L.

JB weld on a radiator?! That goes to show how young you are cuz any mechanic with any experience at all will tell you that will NEVER work! Radiators expand and contract you CANNOT patch them
