2009 GMC Envoy Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the radiator (LL8) (4.2L) on 2009 GMC Envoy?

  A: Initially draining the coolant from the Radiator constitutes the first step for Radiator (LL8) (4.2L) replacement. Recover both refrigerant substances before using a vehicle lift. You should remove the shield from the bottom of the Radiator support system. The hose clamp pliers j 38185 allows clamping the lower Radiator Hose outlet to shift position and then extract the outlet hose. First adjust the inlet Radiator Hose clamps while you detach the inlet hose from its position. Remove the transmission cooler lines before extracting them from the Radiator. Lower the vehicle after which you can remove the cooling fan and shroud before taking off the Radiator support diagonal brace. Disconnect the cooling recovery line first while removing the Radiator side panels from the shroud and then proceed to remove the Radiator. The condenser must be unfastened from the Radiator using its bolts. Install the condenser to the Radiator by securing it with bolts that must reach torque values of 28 nm (21 lb ft). Begin installation by attaching the Radiator after which you should put on the cooling fan along with the shroud. Position the outlet Radiator Hose onto the Radiator and use j 38185 to reposition its clamp. The transmission cooler lines need to be installed into the Radiator before you place the lower Radiator support shield when it exists and then lower the vehicle. Complete the Radiator installation by connecting the coolant recovery hose while replacing the Radiator support diagonal brace which should be followed by filling up the cooling system.
