Thanks Sport, I got my bore scope so I think I can track it down. Looks like the water pump, but It's a little nose down and I want to confirm that's it. Engine is hot and I am letting it cool some as the camera gets hot to the touch pretty quickly and I don't want to cook it. I also want to...

Thanks Joe, I'm reviewing the stickies for what I may have missed. I think just the radiator and gooseneck are left. I got the rest when I did the degas bottle, DCCV, belts and hoses thermostat, etc... all OEM. I got it pretty hot bleeding the system but not under load driving so I don't think...

Thank you for the insight. I have a bore scope coming to help me pinpoint the leak. It doesn't look like it's from the water pump but I can't be sure. I will check the gooseneck pipe when I get my camera tomorrow. I think that is the only plastic part I haven't replaced. I will recheck using a...

I thought a new thread might be appropriate here. My engine cooling fan gave out a while ago on my 2005 LS V8. I was repeatedly bleeding the cooling system thinking I had trapped air causing the overheating. I was not driving the car, just repeating the air bleed procedure shutting it down as...

No leaks while running or at shutdown. After about 20 minutes she starts dripping from the front. I may be starting a new thread for it. Going to do a little research first.

I can't remember where I heard it. Could have invented it in my own mind. I think the auto electric shop I took it to be rebuilt informed it wasn't rebuildable due to internal electrical components they couldn't handle. I think they said it would trigger the CEL because the fan was...

I didn't have a CEL at the time, I was told a non factory fan would trigger it.

I ended up getting a used one off Ebay. just over $230 shipped. A lot for a junkyard part but since it's obsolete my choices were limited. I installed it and it works. I bled the system correctly it works as it should. Now I have a new problem. I'm losing coolant. I thought the system...

Just a review, I am looking for a replacement option for my engine cooling fan that will not trigger the check engine light. I'm in California and can't register it with the CEL on.

Bump

Absolutely, all oem all the time minus the ac compressor which is still going strong. replaced coils, gas bottle, upper and lower radiator hoses all belts, trans fluid and filter, brakes and so much more... All factory oem parts.

Do the aftermarket fans not trip the check engine light? Are they simply controlled by the coolant temperature? I had a hard time searching because fan is too short of a word for the search engine. Does anyone have a link to joegr's write ups? I'm pretty sure mine is gone. I have the single...

Also, the transmission which had been properly serviced in the beginning of this journey is behaving better too. Just like I was told it would. It was never bad, just never perfect either.

I have not read this entire post but my similar issue turned out to be a fuel injector.

Not a lot more miles but it is still working at 153,427 miles a year and a half later.

Hello everyone. I have solved my engine miss! Its been a while but I wanted to report my latest progress. I have received so much information on this site I want to make sure I contribute my fair share. I was planning a 1700 mile trip to Idaho so I wanted to get the LS running right. I had...

Another 500 miles and so far so good...

250 desert miles behind me at 104 degrees max. So far so good. Between the ac and the seat coolers we were comfortable despite the all black interior.

Again, great information. Thank you sir.
