Thanks for the info. I flushed it more so because the coolant looked like chocolate fudge.

@@ultimatediyguy395 I get it. I'd just be sure to try and get as much (50/50) coolant in there as possible. When mixing concentrated coolant, you should use distilled water, not tap water.

@@caraddictmotorsports I did use 50/50 coolant/anti-freeze

Ya, I always use pre mix or distilled for customers cars . But my car and pickup has had a lot of tap water 50/50 in it.... and hasn't had any issues . Had the heads off my 3.1 (99 buick) and they were quite clean . Was actually shocked their was no build up from the tap water . . On a NEW car with smaller cooling passages, ya, distilled every time . But on my old 370,000 mile shitbox edition buick....nothing but glasgow MT city water lol . I'm sure some tap water has more stuff dissolved in it however (montana has pretty good tap water....read a study a few years ago)

Yes clear the check engine light, the ECU will reset and adjust to the new thermostat

I seen a all aluminum radiator for $300

2014

At 4:28 I put the garden hose into the upper radiator hose water will come out of the lower radiator hose. I Don’t recommend doing this though unless your coolant was milky like mines

Check the description I listed all parts that I used in the video

Assuming you removed all clips on all 4 sides. There are 2 AC hoses that sit in a little bracket on the radiator move them out of that bracket

Try looking at your new radiator as a point of reference where the ac hoses sit in

Had same problem and to be honest it’s hard because it’s backwards all you gotta do is press really hard and pull took me 15 mins

@@pierrexavier4983 how long did it take for the whole thing? 😀 I’m about to do this work on mine, replaced a few radiators in the past

It’s been awhile to be honest. I would look at the new part and see how the connector is designed that may help you decide how to remove it

Mainly AutoZone

@@ultimatediyguy395 thanks man

It took me 2:30 but idk other people

Haven’t had any issues with it and it’s been over 2 years. Zerex G05 is HOAT

Very true

Incorrect. Extention length has no effect on torque numbers.

Duralast B13200

@@ultimatediyguy395 thank you

Standard. I would assume the heavy duty version would be very similiar just a little bigger

I’m not sorry about that

Are you in Indiana? My Durango needs radiator work

Looks like your correct, 2016 and newer model radiators do have a different part #. Looks like the Durango was switching to the R1234yf refrigerant around those years

Yeah annoyed the shit out of me lol Where’d you feed the water hose into tho?

@@DBSSEAN I removed the actual thermostat, reinstalled the housing and pushed water through. Water flowed out the bottom hose. I only recommend doing that if your coolant is milky
