Newsflash

At the interview on the job did not provide first hand to a future employer (a man) just waited until he can. Do you make a faux pas?

Sludge is caused by air mixing with Dexcool, often caused by a faulty rad cap as explained in the following _link_s, http://www.imcool.com/articles/antifreeze-coolant/dexcool-johnbrunner... http://www.imcool.com/articles/antifreeze-coolant/dexcool-macs2001.php You sound as though you need a lower intake manifold gasket again. Apparently the first batch of GM replacements were problematic, GM also issued a revised bolt torque sequence and the use of threadlocker on the bolts. I replaced the bolts with bolts from GM with preapplied locker, followed the revised torque sequence and used a Fel Pro Perma Dry gasket set. That was 18 months ago at 129,000kms. The car now has 165,000kms and all is well.

The lite should not come on if the rad is full, unrelated to the condition of the coolant the low coolant sensor in the rad may be bad. < This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it wrote in message Sludge is caused by air mixing with Dexcool, often caused by a faulty rad cap as explained in the following _link_s, http://www.imcool.com/articles/antifreeze-coolant/dexcool-johnbrunner... http://www.imcool.com/articles/antifreeze-coolant/dexcool-macs2001.php You sound as though you need a lower intake manifold gasket again.

The lite should not come on if the rad is full, unrelated to the condition of the coolant the low coolant sensor in the rad may be bad. So why would the reservoir be dry and then later be full again? Is this a common occurrence that goes on but I just never had the reason to catch it until now?  If I replace that sensor and the light no longer flashes, do you think I might still need the new manifold gasket? The fluid level was full again today and once the engine totally warmed up the light began to flash again. And ther radiator was totally full. It _b_link__ed on and off in four or five second intervals, continuously. The fluid level in the reservoir never dropped this time. It is now at the exact level that it has been for almost six months. I haven't had to add a smidgen of coolant (except that I briefly topped it off last night. About a cup in the dark for good measure). I was loosing coolant at the rate of 2-1/2 cups per day when I had that manifold leak five years back, BTW.  Should I get the system flushed? Could the radiator be clogged? Please tell me yes to either of these, since I don't want to face the bill for that other job Thanks for you guy's replies. Aaron Eel
