    As the title states. I tried today with a funnel and tried to bleed the system but air bubbles never seemed to stop coming? Also, no visible leaks anywhere obviously. Water pump was replaced recently, same with radiator cap. I can tell there are still air bubbles in the system because first...

    I have an 04 Envoy slt and I am going to replace the water pump because the bearing is making a knocking noise and the fan wobbles. How many gallons of coolant will I need to get to refill the system?

    Hey fellas. Got an 04 4.2 with 143,500. Recently just flushed my system out of the old dex cool with some distilled water then filled it fully back up with some 50/50 mix and i now have my upper radiator hose dribbling just a little fluid. Thats obvious, but incase it isnt so transparent and i...

    Hello Folks, I'm decided to flush my coolant system and replace. All was well until I put everything back together. I took the 2006 Envoy 5.3L for a ride an the temperature gauge spiked to the red as I was pulling back into the driveway. I touched the upper radiator hose and it was cool, so I...

    I recently expietenced a cooling system failure on my way back to work on lunch break. My engine temp spiked and my engine alarms started going off. Luckily I was really close to my work. I was able to get it to the parking lot, opened up the hood and coolant was spraying/leaking everywhere. It...

    I have an '03 ext and noticed it running hot the other day --made it home ok but really freaked me out to see the needle go up that high! I went to add some coolant to the resevoir and notice that it was all landing on the ground under the vehicle and just splashing on the driveway -- not sure...

    I found a puddle of coolant in the driveway the other day. Thought it was tranny fluid at first but then noticed the level of the overflow reservoir was low. When I went to drain the coolant it looked as if the leak had come from the lower radiator hose. So I drained the fluid and replaced...

    Im going to replace the thermostat (code p0128) and I had a few questions about the parts. The stant thermostat #14659 says 187º on the website and Amazon says 190º. Are these operating temperatures or the temp at which it opens up? I know the truck's correct operating temp is 210º. Would you...

    My apologies if this wasn't the right place to post this, or if something incredibly close to this was posted before, but I figured i'd ask you guys a few questions! So, took my car into the shop this morning to get a coolant flush done. I was dreading it because I know it would be cheaper to...

    Hi I have an 04 EXT trailblazer w/5.3 V8. I am having issues with the leaking coolant right under the resivor tank that spills under to the passenger side wheelwell. I recently replaced the radiator because it was according to my mechanic it was "blunging" and it was leaking. It was running...

    Went to pick up my wife today and noticed no heat blowing from the heater and engine temp rising quickly. As well as fan running hard. I pulled over, and the coolant was gone from the rez. I didn't check the rad as it was still hot. Upon getting back home I noticed all my coolant on the...

    Hello. I'm the proud owner of a 2004 Chevy Trailblazer LS Ext. I have owned this vehicle for almost four years and never had a problem until now, but first of all, I want to thank everybody. I'm not a mechanic. I'm a network/ systems engineer. I work with servers, switches, routers...

    I have an '02 Envoy that has been giving me fits. A little history, a few years ago it started doing what I would call wheezing. Under acceleration, instead of a low smooth rumble, the engine would sound like it was under a much higher load (RPM's normal) louder and more of a high-pitched...

    Hello, Today it's the hottest its been in Iowa for as long as I can remember--blazing sun, 99 degree's with 115F "real feel". The wife did some stop and go traffic today over the course of two hours with stops in between for appointments. Usually the TB stays solid on the 210 mark, but today...

    I've had my 2006 Trailblazer for four years and never had a problem. This past October I noticed that my coolant gauge kept fluctuating and then started to go way over to high. I went right in to the shop and they said the coolant was low, filled it up and sent me on my way. About two weeks...

    :confused: I have been lurking around this forum for quite some time. This has a vast set of knowledgable people and resources. Now comes to the time where I can't find an answer and have come asked for help. My 2003 EXT 4x4 V8 is leaking coolant slowly from nowhere. It takes about a week...

    2004 Trailblazer Ext, 4.2L Hello everyone. About 2 weeks ago my Check engine light came on; I stayed on for around 2 days and went off. I got to an Auto Zone after it went off and had the code read, they said the code that came up was for low coolant temp, during this whole time my temp gauge...

    I have an 02 TB LTZ 4WD and this morning I changed out coolant and replaced upper and lower radiator hoses @ 114K. Everything seemed to go according to plan until I added the last bit of coolant to the overflow reservoir (after having filled the radiator) and it just poured out the bottom of...
