Tired of fixing lousy engineering.
Unfortunately my wife was in a wreck yesterday and we're pretty sure our old Pontiac is toast... which is a shame because it was a very reliable car that had been in the family for quite a while.
I already have a 99 Suburban that runs great and I love it. A friend of ours also has a 99 Sub C1500 that they've basically offered to give us since they don't drive it anymore.
Needs new u-joints (easy fix) but they are losing coolant, maybe a gallon a week or so.
He says he can't find where it's going. Doesn't see it dripping on the ground or dripping from exhaust pipe.
My bet is that the intake gasket is leaking down the rear of the block, and I've done this swap before with the good Felpro metal backed one on my own 99.
How can I double check to make sure it's not an actual head gasket problem, other than compression test?
Thanks!
