Pete's (Now Nate's) 2003 Denali Budget Build thread

I have had suspicion of a coolant leak for a while. I know what @Sevenevez replaced, so I didn't ever chase it hard, as it was obviously minor, and she was getting put away for the winter. A couple of weeks ago, I had her just idling in the garage, and i noticed the drip on the ground, so I looked a little harder. Stupid T fitting dripping. Will address in the spring with what is hopefully a permanent solution/upgrade.

On the upside, we got lucky with 50* and sunny today, so I took her out for a little spin and gave her a wash. Obligatory pics...had to get the white one in there, too !

Damn, she looks good..! Glad you found the leak, and it’s an easy fix! Going to get those gruven fittings?

Why did I not know that you have a denali bumper cover on your white hoe? Lol
