There are several videos out there on a Radiator swap for an LS and by far this one is the best. Thank you.

Thank you!!! Spark plug trick worked
To everyone who reads comments. If your vehicle is entering 180,000 miles do not wait until your radiator goes bad, just replace it, when you want to vs when you need to. You risk burning the engine

[@harborareatech310]

You're welcome, im glad it worked! A good way to notice if your radiator is worn is by looking for stress marks on your radiators upper plastic tank. If it's discolored looking brownish or greenish as opposed to the original black and/or it shows stress cracks, i would recommend replacement sooner rather than later.

I have a brand new thermostat so do I just skip the removal and just disconnect the hose?

[@harborareatech310]

Yes sir!

thank you for posting. great vid! If i have a blown upper rad hose, would you recommend replacing the lower rad hose at the same time? the thermostat only has 10k miles on it

[@harborareatech310]

Yes I would do both hoses at the same time .
