Don't Lose Trans Fluid When Removing Your Radiator

I had to remove the radiator assembly from my 2014 Dodge Charger recently, and one of most painful parts of that operation is that the transmission fluid circulates through the assembly as well as coolant. Now draining and refilling coolant is no big deal, but the transmission fluid is a whole other matter.

On this car and probably many newer cars like it, the transmission fluid must be filled from under the car while the engine is running and up to temperature AND level! While it's not what I'd call a "difficult" job, it's a hideous pain the keister if you don't have access to a lift. And since I do not, I very passionately want to avoid doing it EVER!

The solution to avoiding the horrible process of draining and filling Transmission fluid was actually super simple, so I really wanted to share it with the rest of the internet. I got silicone hose plugs from amazon:

Now I'm not an affiliate, or representative and they are sponsoring this video or paying me in any way. I'm just posting the link to be helpful. But I was able to plus both the hoses that connect to the radiator assembly as well as plugging the ports on the radiator assembly itself. I just plugged the holes and hoses very quickly as soon as I disconnected them and was able to do it and lose almost no fluid. Reconnecting was just as fast and easy and it saved me from having to lift the car and get it up to temperature then crawl under while it's hot and still running, and squirt fluid into the fill hole which is inconveniently placed directly above the blisteringly hot exhaust pipe.

I hope this tip is helpful to people! Thanks for watching!
