Last night I drove the car a bit, and it blew heat just like it should. Drove it twice today and it's still working just fine. I have no idea what made the difference but as of right now everything seems to be fixed. Thanks guys, especially Joe for all the help. Hopefully I don't need any...

I'm not exactly sure how you mean to check for pressure, but I felt the upper radiator hose and it definitely had pressure and it was hot. I tried again to bleed the system today and was not satisfied again. I did notice however that if I rev the engine up to 2500 rpms it did blow a little...

So I know its been a while since I last posted anything but I think there's still something not right with my cooling system. I replaces the t-stat and the other plastic cooling system parts, and also finally got a new hydraulic fan actuator installed. I ran the car for half an hour with the...

I got a new t-stat housing today. The one I got is the aluminum Jag housing that is supposed to be an exact fit. I noticed the aluminum fittings do not have all the ridges that the plastic ones had. My question is should I get new worm clamps for these aluminum fittings or are the spring clamps...

Yeah I still have the stock spring clamps on all hose ends so that shouldn't be the problem unless those get weak with age. Also, is it necessary to change the rubber hoses when replacing the plastic parts? And I'd still like to hear your recommendations for a radiator fan fix.

I just noticed today that my radiator fan runs but only very slowly. I turned my AC on and nothing changes. Now that I think about it I don't remember the last time I heard it running. I don't know if this could be the cause of my symptoms but I guess it needs fixed either way. I'm trying to...

I thought i was on the LS forum. lol Is there a way to delete this thread?

Thanks guys for the fast response. I actually put the stock clamp back on afterward but I found it interesting that it blew a different hose off when i had the stainless one on. I think you guys are right that my plastic parts are old and wearing out. But is there a possibility that i change...

First off i'd like to say thanks to everyone who contributes because this website has helped me so much in the past 5-6 years. I've done a ton of work on my car myself and it's all thanks to the information on this website. So about a month ago after a nice 10 mile drive, I was about a...

it is just a very tight fit and on top of that years of being stuck there just makes it tighter yet. I recently changed my alternator and what i had to do is i stuck a pry bar between the alternator and the engine block and put outward pressure on it while wiggling it back and forth. You...

Are you still making these clear corners? If you are im interested. Thanks
