Questions & Answers
The elbows I installed were lighter than steel, I noticed when I installed them. There are three kinds of polished wood - one looks like polished steel and the other like polished wood. Aluminum is listed as the material on the Dorman site. It took me less than an hour to install them and I've had no problems with them since installation.
The elbows I used on my park avenue from 2003 are still in great condition. I had no problems for six months, but now the OS is acting up There was a rupture on the engine block side of the ring. As I type this, I'm trying to fix the problem. The only downside is that they do not use better paper There are ring. It is a labor / coolant loss When using these, make sure you use the OEM O-rings from GM
We installed the O rings on 8 but didn't install the ring as it The original plastic should be put back in place. Rock Auto can be found on the internet for fitment information.
And the gaskets continue to hold up over a year later. When installing them, make sure to lubricate them.

A quality score of A ring that melts when heated. The original GM O- rings were replaced by genuine GM ones It seems prudent to install the elbows with locks before even installing the rings, to keep myself from having problems. Below are some GM parts lists I found for my 2001 F150 Our bodies contain two o-rings, one large one and one small one It's reversed on the rings' P/Ns. A large number (1) of the smaller O-size is needed Quantity (3) of the smaller O-rings with P/N 24502846 and the GM ring My first attempt to order the correct O-ring ended up being more of a hassle than I expected A list of the corresponding parts numbers and rings. I have also replaced the two O- shaped brackets
I put rings P/N 10263197 on the heater hose ends that plug into the idler (2nd photo), as well as just to be safe since the car is 15 years old. One buyer shared with us that the thin teflon coating on the O-ring is fragile and should be handled carefully In order to avoid squishing my elbows and O-rings, I wet them both Installation of the rings was very careful, then I removed the rings carefully. Please let me know if this is helpful to someone else who is considering purchasing.
The issue has been mentioned by others before - There is no sign of good quality in the rings. As a result, I made the decision not to find out, and simply replaced them with OEM O-rings Rings must be installed before installation. I find it shameful that Dorman produces such an inferior product There are many people who have pointed out the same issue over and over, but it keeps ringing. There are ring. It consists of a number of modules The rings are the only reason I only gave this product three stars instead of five.
My wife's 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix 3 had plastic coolant elbows, so I ordered these to replace them. Eight times. In the end, the plastic ones began cracking and leaking because they were too old to stand up to the heat. With a 3, you will be able to get in. I have an 8L GM motor and have been losing coolant, but I'm not sure where it's coming from That's most likely going to be a bunch of them. This will depend on the model you choose). If you have to do it for the first time, it will take about an hour. ) The elbows are made of quality aluminum and should continue to enhance the durability of the vehicle. - They are precisely machined I was able to pop it right in and the fit and finish are excellent.
It has come to my attention that one of the orange o rings has failed after 12,000 miles after installation. There is no orange on any of the oranges Rings looked like they were on the verge of failure. The last thing you want is to get stranded on a road trip over a 10 cent part. I do believe that metal elbows would be a better solution, but I would definitely steer clear of Dorman ones. I would use the APDTY ones again if I had to do it over.
I found it to be very useful. There are two things I learned that could be helpful to other people With the thermostat out of the way, I inserted the water hose and flushed the plastic ring clean without having to remove the manifolds. Afterwards, I discovered it is important not to fully seat the new metal pipes in the tensioner or the motor before you begin screwing the tensioner's mounting bolts in. My tensioner mounting bolts would not line up first when I tapped into the metal of the tensioner. There might have been a hair off in the machined surfaces of my car, I'm not sure. The job has been active for about a month.
It was just a matter of applying a little grease to these new ones to bring the gaskets Although I wasn't sure how the seals worked, once the coolant was added the buckets did not leak. For the bubbles to leave the coolant system, it took about an hour and a half running the car at a temperature above normal.
