Hey the radiator that you linked in the description is that the correct fit for the 2001 impala 3.4 or is it the one you had in video that you made work?
I liked your video, but I want to see how you drain the system and radiator. It's always the unknowns that get you in a DIY situation. If the part is hidden or hard to see clearly, these are the unknowns and that's why we watch these videos, it's not the front and center obvious bolts that are mysteries, it's the stuff that the engineers hid down under something else. Thanks
So I have that engine in my Impala, and I was wondering if its 3.4l? or how can you tell. I don't have the owners manual since I bought it used. Any advice would be appreciated.
Yes. It will give you protection at a lower temperature than 100% antifreeze. As a side note, I used to work for Saturn (and subsequently GM after they Borged us) as a Controls Engineer. One of my areas was "Radiator Fill" where one of the checks was to make sure that the coolant was a 50/50 mix. The test for this was to use a refractometer, which would show something like -80F when the mix was correct.
DO NOT use tap water!! Tap Water has Calcium, Iron, & other contaminants in it that kills your cooling system. Causes Calcification of the cooling passages in your Radiator & Heater Core, this causes blockages in your cooling passages, which leads to Over heating. The iron will promote rusting inside of your engine, heads, water pump.😉🙂🇺🇸
ALL vehicles MUST have a 50/50 mix of Antifreeze & Distilled Water, if in Alaska or a very cold region, this concentration of Antifreeze will be a little higher. You can not run JUST Distilled Water, the boiling point of water is lower than a 50/50 mixed Coolant or Antifreeze. If you were running just Distilled Water, that is most likely why the plastic side tank split open, too much heat & pressure on the plastic. These newer cars all have more plastic on them than ever before, & will get worse I'm sure. The other reason why you use a 50/50 mix of Antifreeze & Distilled water, is for it's lubrication properties & anti-Corrosion properties. Lubricates the water pump, keeps the inside of the engine block, heads, radiator, heater core, rubber hoses from becoming corroded with rust. Dex-Cool, the Orange GM Coolant, is a Silicone based Antifreeze, the Green Antifreeze is an Ethylene Glycol base, it has a Lower freezing temperature point than water & a higher boiling point than water. POINT: If you use just Distilled water in your vehicle, it will freeze in cold temperatures & could still boil out & cause an overheat condition, hot temps outside means it just happens faster.😉🙂🇺🇸 Hope this explanation helps.
Excellent job my friend job well done keep up the good work all these other guys they play around on the video too much and you can't really see and know what the hell to do until the video is almost done our this is decius you did it just right thank you
Also, the coolant should be flushed out & Changed, along with your Thermostat, every 2 years to keep your engine Clean & performing at Peak Performance & Reliability. Don't listen to the Manufacturers or you will be changing parts, water pump, Radiator, heater core, intake gaskets, head gaskets. Old heated Antifreeze turns Acidic over time, which means it start eating gaskets, Seals, Aluminum. Manufacturers state, with Dex-Cool flush every 5 years, way too long, of course, they are in the Business of SELLING PARTS, at a very High Price. Preventive Maintenance is the Key. Green Coolant, manufacturer states every 3 years, every year or 2 you should drain & fill, change Thermostat, at the very least, a flush until comes out clean is Recommended, Recommended by us Mechanics who deal with the Destruction of these vehicles everyday. Hope this helps people understand.😉🙂🇺🇸

The most important part is missing from the video for me at least..the removal 😂
Same, cant get the c clamps off
@@Vader111797 Those kicked my ass. What I did is find a metal pick that was a U shape. Rubbed it up and down until something moved
I needed that part and without it I was like well unlike e for effort buddy
This deserves a sponsor 😂😂😂❤
Isn’t it amazing how kiddos always come out and look, but never grab a wrench or offer to help dad. 😂😂😂
when taking out the pipe on the right side is it supposed to blow a lil smoke out ?
The coolant system should only have coolant or distilled water in it.
You may have a bad cylinder head or head gasket.
Ok my friend thanks 🙏🏾🗿
Hey the radiator that you linked in the description is that the correct fit for the 2001 impala 3.4 or is it the one you had in video that you made work?
It's SHOULD be the correct one for the vehicle I was working on. The owner ordered the one in the video that was incorrect.
Where can I get those e clips nuts at I want some for my radiator? Those are a life saver
Was your radiator not holding pressure an over heating my 06 Monte Carlo it’s leaking coolant not holding pressure but it doesn’t overheat
Dou you bleed the air??
Yes, you bleed radiator through bleeder valve screws.
On a Chevy Impala 2005 what makes the popping sound when you turn the wheel
Check your steering rack where it bolts to the Frame in the middle of the car in line with the front wheels
Strut assembly.... Mine did that when the top plate corroded out. Just buy a quick strut.
Check cv axle
what song is that at the beginning
Annoying
Did u buy the AC Delco brand or other?
I dont know... the owner of the car bought it off Ebay I think but it wasn't the correct one and I had to make it fit.

I have to do a radiator exchange because transmission fluid is in my coolant, but how do I or what do use to get all the oil out?😟
@ephraimyisrael7039 you just flush the coolant system after you replace it. Supper easy. There should be lots of videos on how to do a coolant flush.
@@Fixnit14 Thank you Sir.
So I have that engine in my Impala, and I was wondering if its 3.4l? or how can you tell. I don't have the owners manual since I bought it used. Any advice would be appreciated.
Check the emissions sticker under the hood itll tell the the engine size.
Fix-n-It awesome! Thank you so much!
What do you flush out the antifreeze out why ain't she showing that part at the bottom there's a big metal frame in my way
Dude do you need an engine hoist to remove those engine mounts
Not for the upper engine mounts. Those do not support the weight of the engine. They are for the twisting of the motor when it's running
Thanks so much for the video! Does this apply to a 2003 Buick Century with the 3100 too?
Not sure... but the procedure is pretty much identical for most all vehicles.
I thought 50/50 antifreeze engine coolant is better
Yes. It will give you protection at a lower temperature than 100% antifreeze.

Water?????
Water is fine if you use distilled water. I used tap water to test for leaks before using antifreeze.
DO NOT use tap water!! Tap Water has Calcium, Iron, & other contaminants in it that kills your cooling system. Causes Calcification of the cooling passages in your Radiator & Heater Core, this causes blockages in your cooling passages, which leads to Over heating.

My motor mounts do not lift up like that lol
I just save me some money

Plain water is not good for the Radiator.
Rust build up
It's convenient for an overheating vehicle.
