Who’s your favorite nascar driver? 🤘🏻

I've been working on machinery of all types for over 50 years. Some of it considered very complicated. These new vehicles are getting unnecessarily complicated and difficult to wok on. The Taurus especially the DOHC is included. Thanks for your instructions.

Thank you. This is the best video out on KZfaq right now. I have a 2004 DOHC Taurus and a 2007 Ford Taurus. So I appreciate your time and effort and hopefully others watch your excellent video even though you had some bad luck with cameras.

GREAT VIDEO! I'm currently replacing my neighbors 97 taurus radiator, exactly same as yours. Last night daughter called from side of road with her car radiator leaking, Now I have two radiators to replace. I'm 68 and have to work in the dirt. Thinking about selling all my damn tools so I won't have to do this anymore.

I found that removing the plastic grille with the Ford emblem was very helpful to getting the new rad installed bc it allowed me to manipulate the condenser coils out of the way up top.

I do pretty much do all of my own repairs. Great video, I just finished on my daughters 2002 Taurus. The biggest pain in the ass was removing the transmissions lines.

Thanks man! This is just what I needed to know for what I’m working on today :-). Saved me a lot of time figuring it out on my own. Thanks! :-)

Great job. Very helpful. It worked to help me swap in my 07.

really like the detailing of your porch ceiling and soffit box.

Great video! Helped a lot seeing the actual event steps before I have to do mine. Thank you sir.

Thank you so much for making this video. You're a life saver. My radiator went out in my 2003 Taurus. My Haynes is very vague on how to do it. Couldn't have done it without this.

Amen brother. You're the only one I have ever seen on KZfaq say video with your phone Horizontally NOT VERTICALLY THANKS MAN.

Thanks for making, very helpful.

Thnx 4 the vid...ur a champ because u did it alone....me and a friend took forever and struggled w those trans lines ...

thanks for the review of the job.

The longest video is the best video. I'm gonna tackle this job now. Thanks for the great video!!

Your hair blew me away lmfao. I did not expect that! 🤘🏻

Thank you for the video. It helped a lot.

Good video and thanks for doing! Helps out quite a bit!

Thanks for posting

After starting about 10 videos (not worth finishing) luckily I found yours. I don't think I'll tackle this one but at least it gives me an estimate of how long a mechanic with all the proper tools will need to get the job done. It was much easier to replace a radiator on my old Ford Pinto. On a personal note, you can work on my car anytime! LOL

thanks for the camera lesson- great, great idea, i should make movies with phone

great video and hard work men.

I don't think I'll take the same risk as you at 5:45 but THANKS for the video! I guess it's hard to do a video of this job and even worse to do the actual job, which I dread doing tomorrow.

I have an 01 DOHC as well. Did you add transmission fluid? I have an overheating problem and I think it is the radiator. I have replaced the thermostat and that did not help.

Block and radiator sealers might get you home but the leak needs to be fixed when back home and the radiator needs to be flushed out 6 ways from Sunday to avoid over heating the engine later. I had put put block sealer in my 2000 Ford Windstar because of a blown head gasket. And it worked great for a while but then one vacation in July 4. We had a trip from hell with over heating. In a 250 mile trip I stopped at least 7 times with half my coolant boiled out. Nothing to do but let it cool off and fill it back up with water and go again. Every time I passed a creek I filled up my jugs if they weren't filled already. There were 7 of us in the van with a luggage rack on top. So we definitely had a load The next to the last over heat was right down town Atlanta on I 75 on top of a bridge near Grady Memorial Hospital. It was 95 degrees and hot as hell. I got home and blasted that radiator from every direction with water and compressed air. Never had an issue with that again. I always watch those temps when climbing mountains though and will never forget the trip from hell.

Life saver, 2000 radiator I'm replacing now, could not get the transmission line off.

excelente video ,, es similar a el del taurus 1997 3.0 ,, le voy a quitrar el mio y creia que salia hacia arriba como todos y ya veo que no,, saludos ,,mr gringo,, NUEVO LEON ,APODACA,MEXICO,,,SANTA ROSA,, GARCIAS

By looking at mine I figured this job is gonna suck good info nice too be able to see on vid before attempt to start. Also wonder if a Quick connect for fuel filters would work if I have a set?

Great video bro,I knows it will help me out a lot, hope the moth didn't do to much damage to your shirt haha, thanks again

Nice video any trouble with after market quick connect oem type

at 10:52 those "clamps" you talk about are actually referred to as "nut plates." Just for future reference. AT 13:48, might I recommend a second man, up top who reaches in and guides it into position while the man underneath inserts the radiator.

I have a 2001 Ford Taurus SES and I'm having to put antifreeze in my car almost every other day. just had my water pump put in plus the hose that's connect to the coolant reservoir and the radiator they both had a hole in them.

your video was very helpful thank you for this. It was a struggle getting that plastic piece out, but I got it. I have a question. that metal clip that was on the transmission line that held it in do you know what it call exactly? my bottom one won't stay on & the line comes out

What a pain having to drop it again because a darn clip fell off. I have been there and had that happen before on doing something else.

I changed my radiator and now it’s leaking water will the seal make you leak water ??

Does anybody know where the radiator cap is on a 2007 ford taurus Never mind it does not have. One

Great video! I have a 01 ses and I have to do the same today. Would taking the bumper off help any?

thanks bro

There is a perfusion in the radiator from the side of the battery to determine the cause

Did the the replacement fix your problem?

Thanks for uploading you is a hero! I'm replacing my radiator on my 2000 ford windstar it has a similar setup

Tough job! Thanks for your post. A lot of great information. Thanks again!

The plastic quick connect on the transmission lines how do u put them back on. Do u put the plastic part in first then the line or what im lost

did it stop over heating? I'm also having the same problem with my 2002 Ford taurus. Over heating while air is on. Thanks for video...

Wow dude awesome video, you saved me so much time. Thanks

i did this in honda- ford pickup, easy- but i wonder if my mercury sable of 2ooo is same?

WOW! this dude must have worked at advanced Auto to have so much mechanial knowledge. This guy is a genius! my new go to! for laughs!!!!!

Ok I'm fixin to go look at a 2004 Ford Taurus DOHC. I watched this video before anything. I'll let you know my thoughts when I'm done.

14:00 - best part

Instead of using glue, simply use a piece of paper or a small piece of electrical tape. Less mess.

Quick question ... Where did you order your quick disconnect brass nut pieces from? Apparantly we will have to do the same because our radiator we actually paid $51.48 flat rate for actually has what every other radiator on the planet has and that's the one that screw on from the trans side lol. But we need the quick disconnect too. Home Depot? Lowes?

pain but did it ,thanks

Everyone likes the Mothman.... (A moth went down my shirt.... HA) @18:39

How did you get the transmission cooler lines back in

My good

I did everything you did but my radiator wont fall for some reason. Can you tell me some reasons why its doing that

stupid question but can it be done from the top??

How To remove windshield water resevoir 2003 Taurud duratec

Does this work for a 2002 Mercury Sable?

about how long did this take you total?

So PLEASE tell me did this solve your problem I need to know asap.. Alternator and battery out out too and power steering pumps leaking so i am debating dumping this FORD POS. runs like a raped ape though after fixing the coils and harness.. Till I turn in the AC then it gets Hot

These transmission lines are a royal PITA. I can't get the lines back into the "quick connect". Getting them off was the hardest part of the job, didn't find out about the $10 tool until I'd spent 2 hours with a screwdriver trying to get at the nylon tab. Is there some secret, or tool, that's needed to get these #*&king things back in?

I did all of that but THAT DAMN AC CONDENSER CORE IS CONNECTED TO THE RADIATOR ON MINE. THERE'S NOWHERE ON THE INTERNET THAT SHOWS THAT PART. How do I take it off? PLEASEEE

ok.

I Just send it to a mechanic. Do that in a Condo is a nono here.

there is a tool for line removal.

That is not how you take those clips out, they make a tool to separate it and not ruin the shit out of it

Don't care about cams ,,,,,,,,cars man!!!

What a bad illustration of how to remove the radiator.

This is why I will NEVER buy another Ford Taurus.
