  Q: How to replace the radiator (LL8) on GMC Envoy?

  A: One must commence Radiator (LL8) replacement by draining Radiator coolant while recovering refrigerant. The first step is to raise the vehicle while also dropping the lower Radiator support shield when available. Position the outlet hose clamp at a different spot using hose clamp pliers (J 38185) followed by hose removal from the Radiator. Start by unfastening transmission cooler lines from the Radiator before lowering down the vehicle. Proceed with the work order by removing first the cooling fan then the shroud and finally the Radiator support diagonal brace before pulling out the coolant recovery line from the Radiator. Depart the shroud from the Radiator side panels before taking out the Radiator and securing bolts that fasten the condenser to it. Start installation by connecting the condenser to the Radiator then fasten the bolts until they reach 28 n.m (21 lb ft). The vehicle should be elevated once again after attaching the Radiator to its position with the cooling fan and shroud. Position the outlet Radiator Hose on the Radiator then use hose clamp pliers (J 38185) to tighten the clamp. The Radiator transmission cooler lines should be connected while installing the lower Radiator support shield on vehicles which have it and then lowering the vehicle down followed by attaching coolant recovery hoses to the Radiator framework and Radiator support diagonal brace. The cooling system needs to undergo a final filling to perform the procedure.
