this video was helpful BUT! you don't have to remove serpentine belt or fan!!! this always happens on most you tube videos! they always remove more than necessary, you don't have to remove battery either CHRIST! it was a pretty smooth job actually, if you were lucky enough to read this comment i saved you at least and hour of labor not removing unnecessary parts! takes about an hour and a half to remove radiator, maybe less mine was a 5.0 v8 engine.

Great video! Thank you! I just wanted to interject a couple of things that will help people out tremendously towards the beginning of the video that most people are largely unaware of when it comes to unplugging any sensors from their wiring harness connectors and therefore from the ECM Computer. I took the OBD II Diagnostic Scanner /ECM /PCM Course and am certified in the diagnostic process pertaining to OBD II / On Board ECM /PCM (Engine Control Module & Powertrane Control Module) Computer and its correlation between the EVAP System, all of the various system's sensors, solenoids, check valves, vent valves, shutoff valves, pressure regulators, power actuators, mechanical valve control actuators.... Suffice it to say, it's a very involved system. As a side note, since we're on the subject..., everyone, you must resist the urge to pop in to your local autoparts store and have them reset your codes. You can get your computer's code(s) read, but for your own sake and the sake of efficiently and effectively repairing any hiccups your vehicle may be experiencing, DO NOT RESET THE COMPUTER! These poor guys working there are highly unlikely to be certified in OBD II Diagnostics and get put on the spot by these parts stores that mind bogglingly force these guys who are as in the dark as you are on the subject to go outside and mess with your finely tuned Onboard Diagnostic Computer. 😅 I mean...,what could possibly go wrong? 🙁 The answer is PLENTY. This brings us around to my initial reason for this comment concerning the disconnecting of the M.A.F. (Mass Air Flow) Sensor from its connector and therefore from the air filter box air tube delivering fresh air to the TPS (Throttle Body Position Sensor... I know, why isn't it abbreviated TBPS? Right? Anywhoooo...).
#1- ANY TIME YOU DISCONNECT ANY SENSORS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS disconnect the NEGATIVE (not the positive) BATTERY CABLE FIRST! You can do serious harm to your computer by foregoing this safety measure and a used computer can and will cost upwards of $500. A new one? You don't wanna know.
#2- If you disconnect the M.A.F. Sensor from its harness connector to remove the air tube, it will RESET THE M.A.F. SENSOR IN THE COMPUTER AND YOU WILL HAVE TO COMPLETE A FULL DRIVE CYCLE TO GET YOUR VEHICLE TO RUN COTRECTLY AGAIN. This mandatory Drive Cycle consists of driving at highway speeds (55mph) for 20 miles. Not 18 miles, not 19 miles, but 20 MILES. THEN..., YOU HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY PERFORM STOP AND GO DRIVING ON BACK ROADS AND NEIGHBORHOODS AT 25 TO 35 MPH FOR ANOTHER 20 MILES AND THIS 40 MILE ROUND TRIP MUST BE PERFORMED. You do have one recourse. You can pay a mechanic who owns one of those real deal OBD II Diagnostic Scan Tools that costs a fortune to perform a RE-LEARN PROCEDURE on your Computer and the MAF Sensor (NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE RESET PROCEEDURE THAT I WARNED AGAINST EARLIER. This is why you cannot let the autoparts store RESET your codes. They are actually resetting all of your sensors which includes a whole barrage of IM SENSORS that will not communicate with the computer if you simply drive home and park the vehicle. This is just a short insight into what takes place if you haphazardly disconnect any sensors without knowing what it will take to get them back up to speed once you reconnect them and also the danger of messing with "Hot" wiring harness connectors. I can just about promise you this guy knows even more than I do about the subject, but he had his hands full with the removal and replacement sequence procedure for the entire cooling system for this 4×4 Sport Utility Vehicle and for that alone I thank him. Thank you sir. You are a scholar and a gentleman. 🧑‍🔧🎓🎩

Very good job ! I would have liked to have seen how to "burp" the engine block of air pockets after refill on this 5 liter engine and maybe how to discharge the AC prior to work. Thanks for doing this video. I have subscribed to your channel.
