In this video I have a look at a customers 2004 Chevrolet 1500 that has a complaint of “running hot and no power.” Doesn’t take long to discover it is completely out of coolant. A $0.99 part sure can cause a lot of troubles down the road.

    For another two cents they could use stainless steel clamps ?

    Do you think the LS series of motors are the most reliable motors in your experience? I just sold a 17' ecodiesel to go back to the LS engines in a 06 Silverado and 03 Tahoe for reliability and ease of maintenance.

    Lived that moment in a lowes parking lot with an 06. Good thing they have clamps and dexcool.

    I had Sante Fe that had that issue . Worm gear wont fit there so I ordered new clamp from dealer $5. In the old days those OEM clamps never did that. made in china now?

    Overheating your vehicle results in so much damage the vehicle is probably on its death bed at that point
