    Carjack Attempt??

    Can't believe you didn't call the police and provide them with a copy of the video so that they can step up patrols in the area and have a better idea what to watch out for. After your truck is gone or your house is broken into it's too late With having seen them so many times and not doing...

    Just curious what you guys think of this coolant level. Has dropped from full since feb 2023 when I got it.

    Looks to be a little overfilled which is why you smell it due to expanding over into the overflow line. Check it when cold and find the cold mark on the bottle. If over then remove enough to get to the cold line

    2004 Tahoe Overheating

    First off any rubber hose (radiator or heater) will evaporate the water and coolant slowly thru the openings between the molecules of the rubber. Especially under pressure and heat. Next, chances are your mechanic put on a aftermarket fan clutch. Typically they loose 100-150 rpm per year due to...

    3800 Using Coolant

    Most times it is the seals between the manifold and heads. Mine went at 110000 and the anti-freeze fried the converter. This is probably why you are using fluid and not seeing the leak. Should show up under a pressure test when the engine is cold. Most times it will seal when hot due to expansion.

    160 thermo. Heat spike at 107° weather.

    210 is normal for a tahoe. GM typically uses a 190-195 degree thermostat. This allows the coolant to stay in the radiator long enough to get cooled down otherwise with a lower degree thermostat the coolant just flows thru the radiator with very little cooling and actually cause you to overheat...
