Learn how to diagnose a bad radiator hose visually, and by feel. Also learn how to replace the upper and lower radiator hoses. Most radiator hoses will last over 200k miles (this one was 280k) and over 15yrs. Replacing the radiator hoses is easy for both the upper and lower radiator hoses in most cars yet they charge a lot to do the job, so do it yourself and save a ton of money!

Your awesome
Just cut the hose off with a sharp knife it's much easier! 🤪🤣
Chris, I cannot find any tutorial about how tight to make hose clamps. I have changed them dozens of times but I am now doing a 500 dollar job and want to get it right without causing any future problems. And I won't be able to get to the toyota/lexus bypass hose under the air intake very easily in something goes wrong.
Omg thanks today I received a quote for 278 dollars…for two hoses. Honda 2013 100,000 miles
Bless you sir
12:13 I can't help myself thinking "two bits" after that little tap
Netflix: Are you still watching?
Someone's daughter: 9:13

Chris make a video on how to change all hoses
11:23 the clamp didn't sit well on lower side of radiator
I came across the same problem fixed it but as my car was overheating i turned on the heater to realise the heat and because of that my ac stopped and radiator fan stopped working
6:20 Almost always chage clamps too. Soon my car is like new HAHAHA
Thank YOU! ! !
2:11 You'll also notice the engine Shaking. Sometimes you don't see steam.
4:02 I can imagine what they'd charge for an '01 Grand Prix!
Thank you for this my radiator hose blew today and this helped alot
7.4M, that's MILLION subscribers! Insane! Kudos
Thankyou sir 🤙
What kind of hose clamps are those? My hose I bought to replace my oem one continues to come loose and pop off no matter how many of the other type you tighten with a philips head and flex seal. It's driving me nuts. Those clamps look way better
saving my life with these vids man. keep em coming plz
how do you check to see what size spring clamp you need if replacing the original clamps?
2018 are different. Video is not correct.

Hose: 17 gallons coolant tsunami
Chris: that’s not that much
I put those twist clamps that you turn to tighten because I got fed up with the ones you have to use the pliers to take off. How tight can the clamps be?
I have use a utility knife and cut the hose after I've drained radiator and moved the the clamps. I'm just lazy
Pro tip. Buy a Tesla.

Im 13, but thanks to chrisfix, i changed my dad's minivan upper radiator hose. Thanks to chisfix, my dad is proud of me now just cause doing that
Stainless steel radiator hose any good?
Great video bro!ðŸ‘ÂÂ
"Im being lazy" is my mood😂
Excellent, thank you, I so enjoyed and gleaned from your instruction! I am so using this video this evening. I was quoted $150… I don’t think so. You and I got this and I’m shooting for under $40! I’ll be working with a 2002 town and country van. I can say at this point you have given me the confidence to complete it! We got this! 😃
Did you flush the radiator before doing all this?
My car is having issues with overheating. Just added a whole thing of coolant to it because I found out the hard way I was out of coolant. Yet my car is still steaming a bit and the temp gauge goes up. Turned out to be an air pocket and a hose leak.
Very helpful thanks
Could this be the reason my check engine light is on?
always do this with cap off funnel full well half full so it can work air out
they charge me £130 just to change my lower radiator hose. I’m changing things like this myself from now on
Which website is good for ordering car parts from?
Do I have to drain my coolant or flush my coolant lines when doing this?
12:13 tehehe
