Fair enough. Would a pressure test discover the leak you think? Would it be wise to replace the bottle again? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just did both as suggested. The upper radiator hose is super hot. Doesn't feel very firm. I can squeeze freely on it (doesn't seem like very much coolant is in there). I did the bleeding procedure all over again after filling the top of the lower radiator hose to bleed the air out of the...

Thank you, I'll give that a shot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'll have to take a look once I get home from work in about an hour. Should I try doing this in its current state or start the bleeding procedure over?

I'm not seeing any leaks from the engine fill cap itself. Sometimes when topping off the engine fill, coolant will spill out from the bleeder hole on the housing just underneath the cap, if too much has been added. Haven't seen any leaks anywhere else except when the coolant rises so high it...

Yes, I have followed the bleeding procedure to the letter each and every time. One thing that I noticed was during #8 of the bleeding procedure, coolant would come out of the heater air bleed in spurts, not a very consistent flow per se where it is pissing out of there, unless I brought the...

Yes, the thermostat (purchased from tasca) was replaced just last week along with the water pump. There didn't appear to be any play in the pump itself or pullys. After all the wrenching this weekend, the car is still overheating [emoji17]. Basically what's happening is when the engine gets...

So I decided to go with soulsoak's encouraging advice and just do it myself. I'm balls deep into this thing right now trying to get to that bastard 9N499 elbow, so there's no turning back at this point lol. Thank god for the deneau site or else I would have traded it into the dealer for only...

Just as the title suggests, anyone know of a good reliable mechanic that is familiar with the LS in the metro Detroit area? I have an 03 V8 and have been dealing with this overheating nightmare. I purchased all of the suggested parts from the gen II overhaul thread and the guy I've used in the...

No, I have the 03 6 disk (non alpine) headunit right now. Is it worth doing a conversion or is there something better that I should consider, that would look as close to factory as possible?

Thank you very much for your help. I will look to see if there is anything occupying the pin behind the radio. The previous owner may have used one of those features that I wouldn't be aware of. If there is nothing there, then I will most likely replace the radio with a stock LS nav unit.

I seem to be having an issue with my radio not turning off after I remove the key from the ignition and open the door. The radio is stock and I have never removed it nor installed any audio equipment to the car. The radio displays the word "phone" in the bottom left corner, which is something I...

Just the one side, i guess there's more than one part that needs to be installed? I live in Royal Oak and work in Birmingham.

Yeah.They ordered the parts today and I should have it taken care of tomorrow. I was quoted $170 for parts and labor.

Yeah, I just took it to a mechanic and that's what the problem is.
