That long skinny one you say is an oil cooler is actually the power steering fluid radiator. Just followed the lines on my Suburban yesterday. Great video. Thanks

Awesome glad it helped out

I had a smaller crack about inch and a half. I used JB Weld and on top of the new area I added A&W glue covered the entire area then used a 1/3 of a bottle of Your best colling leak. Let the engine run for couple of days then flush the radiator to get rid of axess stop leak. In your case the crack is longer and you need to have the radiator flat on a table if you decide to use in weld.

Neil P71 Very good options for alternative to fix an old radiator that’s why I decided to replace it for the cost

@@Gasolinegarage Thats the best approach. So far, mine is holding on with no leaks. I did flush the radiator to get rid off any access radiator leak treatment. The All Seal did work. Thanks for sharing

Very good explanation thanks for the video it really helped me replace mine

What radiator did you buy? I have the 8.1 also. None are the same as stock. Aftermarket is way thinner.

Can you tell me where you bought the radiator? I have looked everywhere for that same one. Every auto parts place I go they give me a different one.

I'm a western snow plow mechanic, couldn't help but notice the module and wiring on your truck, wonder if plowing had anything to do with what happened to the rad, frame stress or overheating? just a theory, I've personally never seen it, and I have a lot of customers who run 99-06 gm/chevys.
