I have an 06 and it has the quick disconnect style which I thought started in 05 and it take a special disconnect tool. But the fittings on the radiator that the lines plug into are screwed into the radiator. I have not tried removing them. I borrowed the special $40.00 plastic tool.

 

Tyler did i see GREEN coolant , If i remember right it was in there when you did your head gaskets. Thought you were going to get it out.

 

BUSTED LOL

that green cant take the heat and slimes the system ALL Kinds of Fallout Hows your temp spread

It didnt look to slimed in the water pump housing though

 

tyler check your coolant for tranny fluid. on the 05 and up you are suppose to disconnet them with a quick disconnect tool. you might have knocked that tranny cooler outta wack. thats what happend to me and i had to get a new radiator because i unscrewed it vs poping them out and the cooler fell down and i could never get it lined up.

 

Yepp...ya'll caught me....still have that damned green coolant.

That tranny thing did fall down into the radiator but I was able to get it right back where it was the first time.

I just didn't see how you would disconnect it without unscrewing the lines.


But I will check for tranny fluid in coolant.

 

we are we even screwing with the radiator to remove a water pump... If you guys were tech you would all be broke by now

 

Haha, I just wanted more room to work. That's all.

 

If i were a tech i would by the HOUR and make money

 

Heck ya David

and its so repitive I bet

Chezit can probably have an Oil Cooler changed out and back on the road in 3-4 hours then get paid for whatever hours the book calls for 8 hours or whatever

Being Experianced pays in this line of work

Your the Man Cheezit

 

Ill try to rember ot grab a pic of who to remove the stuff next time I have one apart

 

yea i dont pull the radiator. i had plenty of room to do it but some people like more room. i wasnt about to take that chance of not getting the cooler lined up again

 

This is the tool you need to remove the transmission lines.

That big bolt on the water pump. Does it unscrew clock wise or counter clock wise/

 

If you're refering to the fan nut it's standard right hand thread--righty tighty lefty loosie.
