I was towing my boat with a 1998 Ford Expedition XLT 4.5L thinking I was going to have a nice day fishing and all of a sudden while driving to my destination, the hose on the left side of the radiator blew up! Seriously, blew up. Big hole where the hose clamped onto the radiator and took a chunk of plastic out from the hose connection. Got towed back home and immediately ordered a new radiator and came across your You Tube channel. I am very pleased the way you did this video instruction.

THANKS Steve, can't even have a nice day fishing without SOMETHING getting ion the way! Glad you came across our video, and let us know how the job comes out when you're done!
Whenever I do a RUclips search for different repairs, I am so happy when I see it's you. I have been an ASE certified mechanic in my day, and I have to tell you, I love the way you do your job and the funny things you interject. Where have you been lately? I love your vids.
@@OnlineAutoRepairVideos keep up the fabulous job. What state are you in? I will recommend my friends in that state to you and promote you on my AUTO CHALLENGE Facebook page of almost 1,000 followers
I just pulled my radiator today on my 98. aww man the lower hose is a bear. I had the same idea as you replace that junk with a hose clamp. Thank you sir
Thank you for the great video. I was able to use it to replace the radiator on my 2001 Ford 150 Pickup 🛻 (for those who don't know Ford Pickups from 1997-2003 use the same parts as Expedition 1997-2012)
BRO! you were sharp! i can tell you love what you do! a true mechanic. i also have a 1999 expedition..my radiator core support bracket rusted out.. i took to a body shop to make the repair..i go to pick up my vehicle..first thing i see , a oil leak , a big spot i didn't have before . it looks like it could be trans or power steering fluid . i didn't pop the hood to check myself, but he's going to send it to a repair garage to make repair. they knew they caused the leak. i hate shops like these. i'll tell you the name of shop once problem is solved. i do most of my repairs ,but i don't have the time or a garage where i could do the work myself. bottom line i stay on top of my vehicle . he the asks me! what i want him to do! i'm like come on man! i want it without the leak it didn't have when i dropped it off~it's hard to find honest mechanics out here. anyway ! again ! bro! you are on POINT! THANKS TO YOU IF I NEED TO REPLACE MY RADIATOR , Thanks to you, im going to walk right through this.
Appreciate that Ted, and you are SO RIGHT about how difficult it is to find and HONEST and GOOD mechanic! Right now we are so backed up in work, and people are willing to wait weeks because there are so many crooked repair shops here!
I saw your RUclips instruction and I have to say amazing detailed instructions! I did every step that you did and my 1998 Ford Expedition XLT 5.4L 4x4 is purring again with its Flowmasters! Thank you!
Oh Lord ! I have a 98 Expedition in the Philippines: You have no idea how fun it is to try to work on it with no American Parts store on every other block, and even simple things like hose clamps sub-standard. been watching your video, just in case, as I'll be going back soon I hope and may take some extra radiator hoses. Love to take a new radiator, just in case... Last time it was a fuel pump...Oh my god, the FORD dealer on the island wanted $300 !!! .. Luckily, I found an in-tank pump for a Mitsubishi that was exactly the same for $40....... I was aware of those stupid lower hoses....only from watching another video. Thanks so much for the video...... I'll stock up on hose clamps for sure before I go...... adapt and overcome !!
WOW, once you go back, it would be great to send us some pictures. I don't know what came over ford to make those hoses like that. Thanks for the comment, and can't wait to see some pics.
Sent you a private message Timmy, with a link to Google Maps, satellite view , that actually has the Expedition in it WAY up in the boondocks in the mountains!!! Hard to believe they mapped up that unpaved , almost 4 wheel drive road !!!
That was so cool!! That was the first time I saw something like that! YES, it is hard to believe they mapped that road, goes to show Google is everywhere. Do you miss it?
There are Poisonous tree vipers, I have yet to see one...like to keep it that way ! There are Pythons, again, haven't seen any in the wild, but they are there ....seen a few people kept as pets...not a snake guy myself..I worked 2-1/2 years as an animal control officer...before going permanent in the Fire Service... The tiny red ants are the worse...itchy , red patterns, the bigger red ants are more like red bumps..not fun..the caterpillars with hairs, oh god, stay away ...welts and so itchy... they have huntsman spiders, big and brown, more scary to look at than anything else.... banana spiders, black with yellow...poisonous.... your more likely to get bit by the neighbors dog...lol Right now, they just had an encounter with the Abu Sayyaf terrorist group in Bohol, which is too close for comfort, two islands east...they are way away from their base in the southern Philippines where my ex wife was from....Mindanao, Sulu, and Basilan. They are bad Ju-Ju, a Philippines version of ISIS that has pledged allegiance to Isis... I hope they deal with them once and for all..the country has more poverty and problems than they need , most people are good , hardworking folks trying to feed their families . I broke my arm in 3 places on my dirt bike there ...bad slow speed fall on slick concrete in the mountains..thank god my wife was alright ... I had given her Mom and Dad $400 to buy a Carabao (Water Buffalo) to use in their rice field . Theirs was poisoned by someone because it strayed into an adjoining field and destroyed some crops. When I broke my arm, her mom gave me the money back....that's what kind of people they are ...that doesn't happen often there ... $12,500 US dollars in surgery ( that blue shield paid back finally ) at Saint Lukes in Manila ( good hospital) , and two months later my wife was pregnant with our boy , who was born in August 2015. Finally a dad at 53.... and my parents grandparents at 80 ! So we have been back to California since December , 2015... I miss her family terribly as does she ... I hope we can go back soon...
I just replaced my radiator on 97 expedition a week ago and I cut it like you did(a lot easier and time saving).I found this at Lowes,Fernco 2-in x 2.38-in dia Flexible PVC Coupling Fittings and perfect for that hose.Better than ford no more dripping from there.Thanks for your video and best of luck.By the way,cutting and putting back on the hose was easier from under the truck(of course you had to show which is easier from top).God blass
Well done. This was like watching Kevin Hart and Forrest Whittaker mechanic show. Very informative and well done, indeed. Now I'm confident to attack mine. TY
Thanks!!!!!! Very helpful. I've been trying to do a few videos on repairs and other misc items to help out others - trying to pay it forward. I understand the extra effort you must put in to video and help people.
Thanks for doing this, it made changing mine simple, you say which tool is needed for each step...very helpful. The only thing I didn't do was wear a tie while doing it ;)
Timmy thanks for the video brother. i'am gonna be tackling the radiator on my 01 Expedition . I really like how you keep it simple. God Bless brother and thanks again for the video
Thanks Tommy, before you do the lower radiator hose, look on RUclips for a way to release that clamp on the lower hose to the radiator, it seems to be a way to do that, hope this helps and thanks for that comment.
How do you put on a new hose using the OEM style Quick Connect factory installed in the hoses? The ones I have tried seem to be just barely too small to work onto the radiator. No matter how I rotate it, I can only get it on 1/8", about the thickness of the lips at the end of the 4 metal 'fingers' on the radiator male fitting. 2001 Expedition, 5.4L AWD, Auto Trans.
omg man i have the same truck and having the same issue with my radiator. .. i had it. for a while now .. i dont really know much at all about cars but tend to look on line for video like these to fix certain issues myself.... i recently put some coolant in because it was bone dry and gave a smell through the vent when the ac was on but it turned into a brown gunk in the tank im guessing i put in the wrong kind but my question is can i flush it out and just put in the right fluids or should i just replace the whole radiator ... this is not my everyday car just a cash car i had for a while and dont want to get rid of
Official CKB, yes you can flush it out by using a regular garden hose. just flush the system out one way, then put the hose to the other end and do the same thing. It is EXTREMELY important to flush the system both ways, hope this helps!
Thank You for doin such an in-depth video. Thats what I like about you. And this particular vudeo is gonna help me out. My 2004 Exp. just sprang a leak so I will be changing it. Not lookin forward to the lower hose but I have a small dremel I think will do the trick. Thanks again and lookin forward to ither videos.
That was the best video I've seen. However, my problem is my 98 Ford expedition won't engage in drive but goes perfectly fine in reverse. I've changed the torque converter and still nothing. That tool you used to pop off the fan, where did you get it and what's it called? Thanks for your input , it was very informative.
Thank you! The tool is called a fan clutch removing wrench set. As far as your transmission, if the fluid color was dark before you replaced the converter, that is a sign of something broken inside the transmission.
Working on my son 98 Expedition. This one has a semi hard plastic around the edge of the lower radiator hose. No clamp. We got about 1/4 of an gap left and the hose won't slide flush to the radiator.
Astral Auto Repairs yeah I like how the video shows detail for detail and is not edited, ensuring that I don’t run into problems or uncharted territory. Thanks brother
Yup. I know his surprise at 11:59 . I was in the junk yard pulling a radiator. I too met my first Ford quick connect radiator hose. I snipped the heat shrink clamp off with side wire cutters. I got home and searched you tube. I removed the old one and now understand the concept. They take brute force(large channel locks and prybar) to get the quick connect hose off the radiator after being there 15 years. Anyone not familiar with the quick connect: There is a tab accessed from the bottom. Bend the tab straight, twist the hose 45 degrees either way and it is supposed to slide off. There is a small line on the bottom corner of the radiator. Align that tab with the line.
I did yesterday. Just disconnect the fan shroud, disconnect the radiator and pushed the shroud as far back as I could. Tight squeeze and saved time. Its unnecessary to remove the fan in my opinion. Good video though.
After bending back a small metal tab positioned on the ring, use a pair of large channel lock pliers to grasp the plastic collar and turn it 45 degrees to the left and it should pull apart. Yes, it is still difficult to release even after you have done a few. Stupid design, just like some heater hose disconnects, what a joke.
That's it??? WOW!!! Now you got me wanting to go and try one. I am going to edit that video at that point and put what you said in it RIGHT NOW!! Thanks Len, it is always good when I can turn to someone who has experienced something I have not. That is what I want this channel to be like, people commenting and helping others without all the negative talk and put downs, THANKS LEN!!!
Leave it to Ford to make a dumb design. I hate working on them, I had to change a radiator on a 97 F150 and the transmission lines on the new radiator wont fit on the fittings on the new radiator, they're too big.

With the clamp on the bottom hose did it leak. Cuz I know ford started doing the heat shrink on those hoses?
Nope, sure didn't.

Do you know if this is the same radiator as the navigator and the f150?

Should have got a harbor freight earthquake half inch impact it's worth the money.👍
LOL, funny that you said that because not too long after this video, that is exactly what I got, LOL!
The lower hose is a pain even when you know how to do it.
Yup. I know his surprise at 11:59 . I was in the junk yard pulling a radiator. I too met my first Ford quick connect radiator hose. I snipped the heat shrink clamp off with side wire cutters. I got home and searched you tube. I removed the old one and now understand the concept.

Anyone get it done without removing the fan blade?
That would be a good trick.
I did yesterday. Just disconnect the fan shroud, disconnect the radiator and pushed the shroud as far back as I could. Tight squeeze and saved time. Its unnecessary to remove the fan in my opinion. Good video though.
After bending back a small metal tab positioned on the ring, use a pair of large channel lock pliers to grasp the plastic collar and turn it 45 degrees to the left and it should pull apart.

No problem Timmy. Sometimes they can be very stubborn, that's when I break out the pliers.
Leave it to Ford to make a dumb design. I hate working on them, I had to change a radiator on a 97 F150 and the transmission lines on the new radiator wont fit on the fittings on the new radiator, they're too big.
So hoping my 99 doesnt have its original fprd dealer claps just so it can be easier
Good luck! Let us know how it turns out.
No don't take gan off 😮
Fan
You don't need to
You're working on a Ford it's always a bad!
