Jeep Grand Cherokee Radiator Replacement (2005-2010) | 4.7L & 5.7L V8 Cooling Fix

Is your Jeep Grand Cherokee leaking coolant or running hot? [01:56] A cracked radiator is a "engine killer" on these 4.7L and 5.7L V8s, often leading to blown head gaskets [01:39]. Shops will charge you $500–$800 for this repair, but you can swap it yourself for under $100 in parts and an afternoon of work. In this Master Mechanic guide, I show you how to replace the radiator on a WK Jeep. I’ll walk you through removing the front grille [04:32], disconnecting the transmission and oil coolers [06:16], and the trick to removing the fan shroud [05:15] without damaging the AC lines. I also explain why you should NEVER use a radiator from a scrapyard [11:41] and why using the correct coolant color is critical [09:24] for your Jeep's longevity. Don't guess if your Jeep is overheating because of a sensor or a leak.
