LS Cooling System Parts Diagram

[RJLipscomb]

2006 LS V8:

Does anyone have a diagram for all the parts that I should replace on the cooling system?

I just replaced the degas bottle - easy task.

I bought a box load of other parts:
8260 - Upper Hose
8286A - Lower Hose
8548 - T-Stat Housing (not really the housing, looks like the part behind the housing)
8575 - T-Stat
8590 - Seal
8255 - Gasket (only 1, now know I need 2)
8A511 - Cap

I believe I need:
8592 - T-Stat Housing

Also replacing belt (8620) and pulley (8678)

You're missing a few more that will fail.

Here's a good list.

Very, Very helpful list.

Back to ordering! I was hoping to do this over the Christmas Holiday, may have to wait till next weekend.

But again, many thanks!

Be sure to follow this sequence when removing the intake manifold, and the listed sequence and torque when putting it back on.

Looks like what I expected. Are there any difficult to get to bolts/fasteners that I should know before getting started?

It's surprisingly hard to get the wiring harness unbolted from the back of the intake manifold. The vacuum hose to the brake booster can be a pain too.
