Thanks tons for this vid! Helped me a lot in changing mine out. Done in about 1.5hrs. Next time around, could probably do it in less than 1! Great to see a HEMI with high miles, hopefully mine will last just as long! Cheers and Happy Motoring! 🍻

Great video. Saw another from a major online auto part company and it had you removing the fan and shroud. Tried it their way but I could not put enough tension on the tension pulley to loosen fan. Glad I found yours, it eliminated a lot of work I didn't need.

Buy an air hammer it'll help you zap the clutch fan off the snout of the waterpump.

This video worked for me. Getting that bottom oil cooler back on was tough though. Not taking off the fan and shroud was a big time saver. Thanks a lot.

Good Video Bro ! I have a 05 Dodge Ram similar to yours 2x4 tho I am about to do Radiator also This is my 2 Ram last one was 4.7 & did Radiator so this will be my first 5.7 Radiator change I will be watching it again right before I do the swap 👍🏼- The Yellow Ram is Fire & those headlights Are Sharp & BRIGHT !!! Thx E Graham

Thanks, I really like the Yellow Ram! Having one radiator change under your belt, this one will be a breeze. Should be easy for you. Good Luck with the repair! Thanks for the support!

Doing mine soon as well, nice job. Those lights are awesome are they plug and play or did you get a lamp out light? got my hood shocks off amazon, work great. Thanks

@OrdinaryCarGuys 4 жыл бұрын

Unfortunately they are not plug and play. You do have to cut off the OEM plug and rewire the lights. Which rewiring the lights is not hard to do and they work perfectly with no lamp out light.

Thanks for your video,I have an '02 with 32K on it and when I stopped to get some pizza I saw a pee stream coming out of my grille.I just wanted to know if I could do the job without taking the fan shroud out and now I know.Where did you get those headlights? I bought my radiator from Amazon for $75 new and I was happy with that price.Thanks again.

@OrdinaryCarGuys 4 жыл бұрын

Looks like a pretty good price for the radiator. I got the headlights off of eBay and they are still working great a year later. However, they are a little bit of a pain to adjust initially because you have to remove the headlight completely in order to adjust them. Otherwise they are great. If my memory serves me correctly, I believe I got them from K2 Motors. I’m glad the video could help!
