Radiator Hose Replacement (4.3L)
Removal Procedure
Caution: As long as there is pressure in the cooling system, the temperature can be considerably higher than the boiling temperature or the
solution in the radiator without causing the solution to boil. Removal of the pressure cap while the engine is hot and pressure is high will cause the
solution to boil instantaneously - possibly with explosive force - spewing the solution over the engine, fenders and the person removing the cap.
1. Remove the coolant from the radiator until the level is below the hoses being removed. Please refer to Cooling System; Service and Repair;
Draining, Filling, and Flushing the Cooling System.
2. Loosen the radiator hose clamps.
