2000 GMC Safari Radiator Hose Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the radiator hose on 2000 GMC Safari?

  A: The Radiator Hose service and repair process should start with a safety precaution because removing the pressure cap during engine operation can cause boiling coolant to create an explosion. As the first step remove enough coolant from the radiator so the hose removal point stays below this level. Remove the air cleaner assembly from the next step of the process. Detach the radiator inlet hose while removing its clamp from the radiator and the coolant outlet (upper hose) then detach the radiator outlet hose using its clamp from the radiator connected to the coolant pump (lower hose). Installation commences by linking the radiator outlet hose to the radiator followed by connecting the lower hose clamp to the coolant pump. Then proceed with attaching the radiator inlet hose to the radiator while clamping it to the coolant outlet (upper hose). The technician must both reinstall the air cleaner assembly while adding coolant to reach its correct level. The last step entails starting the engine for normal operating temperature to examine coolant leaks.
