Chevrolet Radiator - OEM & Used Parts

Radiator replacement is a moderate DIY job. The process involves: draining the cooling system, disconnecting upper and lower hoses, disconnecting transmission cooler lines (if equipped), removing the cooling fan assembly or shroud, unbolting the radiator mounting brackets, and lifting out the old radiator. Installation is the reverse, followed by refilling with fresh coolant and bleeding air from the system. Most replacements take 2-3 hours. Ensure you properly dispose of old coolant and use the correct coolant type for your vehicle.
