2000 4.3 AT 4wd radiator replacement
What needs to be removed to replace a radiator on a 00 blazer automatic 4wd?
Aside from coolant, fan shrouds, radiator hoses and tranny lines?
How do the tranny cooler lines come off the radiator?
They don't look like the old style fittings?
any short cuts would be appreciated
Thank's

Are there special tools needed to remove the tranny lines on the radiator?
Do i have to remove the fan clutch?
anyone?

They're either threaded in or the quick connect fittings. Threaded - I would use a line wrench to protect the fitting from being rounded off. Quick connect - a small screw driver is all that is needed to pop the 'e' clip off the fitting and then just pull the line out. I pretty sure that my '00 Bravada was threaded on the transmission cooler lines. The oil cooler lines (driver side) are quick connect.
You should not have to remove the fan clutch.
Common tools should get the job done.

I had just replaced my radiator yesterday in my 2000 blazer 4wd. I removed upper shroud...then my clutch fan then lower shroud to gain access to drain plug and lower transmission line...all trans and oil lines were e clipped

Thank's for the infos Guy's i was hoping i didn't have to remove the fan clutch.
I took a better look at them in the daylight and they are the quick connects.
