Message: <blockquote data-quote="sakuraguy" data-source="post: 984666" data-attributes="member: 6441">Radiator ReplacementWhen your radiator is replaced, you’ll probably be interested to know what takes place. Replacing a radiator isn’t as simply as just pulling out a part and replacing it with a new one. Instead, a number of precautions are taken to ensure proper operation after the radiator replacement is completed. After you purchase your radiator from RadiatorNet, your service center will handle its installation for you.During the radiator replacement, hoses will be checked and the entire cooling system flushed and refilled. In most cases, the radiator mounts will also be checked to ensure that they are okay before installing the new parts. If the technicians notice coolant dripping on the passenger side of the vehicle or the blowing of steam from the heater ducts, then this might be indicative of a leaky heater core. Replacing a heater core isn’t easy because they are often buried under the dash, but it may be a necessary fix if the radiator replacement tests indicate an issue.When replacing a radiator, the measurements of the new and old parts should be close but they do not have to be exact. Sometimes, when people go from an aluminum radiator to a copper/brass radiator or the other way around, the height, width and thickness will vary. Even without an exact measurement match, the cooling capacity will be checked to ensure that it is the same or even greater than the original radiator.As the new radiator is bolted into place, the mounting brackets and radiator supports will be checked to make sure that there isn’t any misalignment that could lead to cracking or failure due to increased stress or fatigue. Once the new radiator is installed, the belts and hoses will be serviced and any recommended replacements will be made to help prevent future issues. The technician will also make sure that the new and old hoses are positioned and supported in a way that minimizes radiator stress.One radiator part that is often taken for granted is the radiator cap. The cap is what holds pressure in the cooling system and helps prevent the formation of steam bubble and gaps inside the engine. While your radiator technician will ensure you have the right cap for your radiator, most cap pressures can range from 4 pounds to 18 pounds and he or she will check for the right rating for the application. Too little and this can allow coolant loss, too much pressure and you can damage the radiator or water pump. Your radiator cap will be pressure-tested to check the condition and if it can’t hold the rated pressure for at least 1-2 minutes, then it will be replaced.</blockquote>
