In this video I have a look at a customers Chevy 2011 Silverado that came with a customer complaint of overheating. Customer also says there is a mysterious fluid leaking a trail on the ground everywhere he goes. Doesn’t take long to see the leak in the radiator tub. Let’s get this radiator swapped out and get this guy back on the road.
-Enjoy!

About that broken plastic retainer. I seem to remember that I (second time) that I used a narrow areo- seal hose clamp as a retainer. That seemed to work .
Most aftermarket radiators have absolutely junk jiffy tight connectors lol
Ew. Coodies
Last aftermarket Chevy truck radiator I used didnt have the restriction in the line going to the tank. Truck ran too cold until i added a restriction to the line.
Hi just wanted to ask. Did u add any atf? As the old radiator might have some residual atf left on it.
I don't know how many times I have lost $10 in quarters by my wife playing the claw game. She loves those games too.
Another great one
🤣, "oh yeah, we're not hitting the bucket at all", no matter where you (at least with me) put the bucket, the coolant/fluid always seems to miss it.
I use the Airlift for my two motorcycles. Works beautiful!!
