Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Maintenance and Repair / April 2006s10 thermostat water outlet
2002 4.3. Dealer changed gasket first time, then changed the outlet (said it was cracked). Now warranty has expired 8 months ago and it has about 38k on it and it's leaking again.I expect that if I asked GM to fix it they'll say sorry , out of warranty. I can see the leak at a point about midway between the bolts on left side (looking from front). Anyone had experience with this part leaking and a good, permanent solution? Thanks > 2002 4.3.

Either way I would stay away from them for any future work.

Thanks Dunno about 2002's, but my 2003 just had the intake gasket replaced--leaking at the front in area near water pump. Dealer told me that was a common problem at about 30K miles, and mine had 34k at the time. Was 2 months and 2K inside the warranty period! Lucky, I guess. s Intake might be next but right now it's definitely the thermostat outlet pipe. > Intake might be next but right now it's definitely the thermostat > outlet pipe. Great! Wasn't trying to scare you--just alert you in case. Often in such cases, IF it were the intake, GM might pay for it even if out of warranty. s |
