Thank you friend.. Very informational! I like your attitude and outlook brother... You Can, You Will and You ARE "GoodStuff"

Thanks a lot bro!! Gonna tackle this on my sister's Taurus tomorrow. Thanks for helping everyday people like myself take care of ourselves!! I'm not a mechanic either, but I have a short video on my channel showing the connections on the upper intake manifold of my 1996 Ford Explorer V8 5.0 Hopefully it can help someone out as well. Once again, Thank You!!!

I'm glad I was able to help encourage you to take care of you n ya family too. thats dope kid. random tip... an easy way to know if your fuel pump crapped the bed... is to open the FUEL DOOR and take the cap off the fuel filler neck and put your ear as close to the filler neck opening and have someone turn the key/ignition to the ON position. If you dont hear a hummmm.. means your fuel pump isnt priming your fuel lines. Check under hood fuses for fuel pump fuel fuse should be a giant 20 amp

Thanks for your help. Great video!

thanks for the tip man. I havent had to do it again, but im on my fifth taurus since this video. ever happens again ill take your advice. doing that job in 3 hours would be SICK.. Like my productivity could be worth $200/hr when you figure shop rates. theres something silly about the folks who get trapped when something like a radiator blows on em. working 60 hours/flipping 60 dimes or whatever ppl gatta do, to pay dude in a shop... when they could listen to strangers on youtube, n get it done

So by ripping the entire front end off you were able to avoid taking the radiator out of the bottom of the car?

I would've messed up the trans line, thanks for this video man.

@prisionbreak07: No problem. Did you stop the leak? If not, maybe use some teflon tape (the kind used in plumbing connections) for the threads on the bolt.

hey buddy I put my foot in my mouth I was just doing one and I had to pry that piece off like you did and I have every quick connect tool there is so there it is

If fuse isnt blown... and you dont hear the hummm from the fuel pump priming.. your pump is BAD. That might be real shttie if it happens on the freeway, but its DOPE to have a reason to drop your fuel tank. THE REAL TIP.. is if you ever have to drop your fuel tank, you can splice into the wires and rig up a KILL SWITCH. you can hide it where ever you want. i like basic on n off type sht. alarm will prob keep your windows from being bashed out.. but kill switch is better than low jack...

@GATisdale Thanks Brother. How'd your's come out...all sealed up?

I got a New radiator 80$ from 1800radiator.

I just pulled mine out, after I got those clips out. The cut lines were from the junk yard. My top line had plenty of room and came right out. Maybe you'll need to take the whole nut/connection off the tranie cooler line. thats a bitch to get it back together. remember to use that plumbing tape on the connection going back on, or im pretty sure it will leak

No doubt man. How'd you make out? Yah, I'd never call myself a mechanic.. self sufficient maybe. Like I said up there ^^^^.. Ill open the manual and READ the steps. If Its just nuts and bolts... no big deal... save some dough. i wouldnt mess with an engine til i was able to put one on a stand.. im not distroyin no ones engine or. trannie.. but suspension, hoses, lines, motors, connections, cooling system... i leave electrical to a pro too.. no need to start fires in my dash board.

@Aholodnick Nah Brother, wrong dude. I wouldn't do that shit. Pretty funny tho.

@psylence81 nice!! howd it turn out?

Just a heads up taking the whole front end off is not necessary Ford put in access ports for you to remove this radiator without all the extra work. Besides that great videos.

no que no explicas como sacarle la parte delantera , el radiador poner el radiador es facil quitar todo el frente y los tornillos si que estas 5 hrs. por lo menos ok.

the 2 trans lines are presure fitting lines they have a cheap tool for that

@sancon123: Thanks for the comment.

How that radiator work out for you.. In the beginning of my video I said I didnt make it for instructional purposes. I dont know what I'm doing half the time I work on my cars or truck bro. I've learned alot, but all i ever do is open the haynes manual and read the steps if it sounds like I can do it.. even if 25 steps I'll do it... if there's 3 steps and one includes something only a pro should be messing with.. i find immediate help.. i aint no superman. i hope you didnt cut your trans lines

theyll be pushing that car before they figure out why it wont start haha

Hmm u know the radiator actually comes out from the bottom
