Would Mexico be a better choice? The part is an OEM, so it's unlikely that anybody will be able to find a better alternative.
A 2006 Chevrolet Silverado fitted with this part. Vehicles newer than this should have this.
As long as the pressure rating on your coolant reserve tank is the same as that for the gas engines, you should be fine. Visit the autozone website and see if part number for a 4 is available. The 3L is equal to the Duramax. It is on your side if it is for the good of the organization.

I first obviously have to point out that the part is OEM, or what the manufacturer specified In addition, it has a fair price. It happened to me as well as to many others that coolant would disappear. After topping off the coolant, after a few brief cold and hot cycles (driving it, letting it cool for a night, driving again), my coolant level dropped. It would drop the level a few times after topping it off again and driving it a few times. About 25,000 miles has passed since then and it's getting worse. As soon as the problem began, I was getting 1,200 to 1,300 results Before a noticeable coolant drop would occur, it would take 1,500 miles. Within the range of 25,000 to 30,000 Under 500 miles remain in the range. As a result of replacing the expansion reservoir cap, this issue has been resolved. There are not enough hours in the day to tell you how much time I spent trying to figure out what was wrong. Make sure all the hoses are in good condition and that the heater core and radiator are working properly. It was so bad that they crawled around looking for any sign of a leak. After that, fretting about possible internal problems. We pay $12 for the It's all taken care of now. Is it the cap from the factory that fails to work? It consists of two OSs O-rings allow vapor to "blow off" as they allow those o-rings to act as seals A ring's quality declines as it ages. You have been using a 50/50 mix of antifreeze in your system, with this vapor or condensed water included in it. In other words, water evaporates in a vapor form leaving behind an antifreeze mixture only. The result is a drop in liquid level. Let me know if you have the same problem and I can help you. GM owners have been plagued by this problem for quite some time.
It had a coolant reservoir that kept draining. A chance was taken and I replaced the cap, since it was neither old nor broken. It was probably an oring that didn't seal correctly. The LQ4 has no gasket failure or leak, which is nice. As an fyi if it's unclear why this is happening, a leaky radiator cap is the cause. It is well known that the boiling point of water increases under pressure (212F when under normal pressure). Once the pressure is relieved, you can slowly drain your coolant system of its water, but it is so slow that you will likely not notice it.
It has GM 3. Here's my 2000 Malibu. There was a loss of coolant in one V6. In my quest to determine whether the problem may be due to a bad head gasket or something else more expensive, I ran many checks and tests. In the past few weeks, I had replaced the expansion tank and cap with an aftermarket version. Therefore, I did not consider the coolant cap. In looking at the aftermarket cap, I could see that the lower half of the listing was damaged An earring. Since putting it on, I've no longer had coolant loss, nor have I had any overflows at expansion tanks. It is the lower part of the pelvis that contains the organs It seems like this cap has a firmer and better fitting ring than those found on You are well served by buying the real factory part at a cost of just $2 more.
The antifreeze in my tank disappeared and I couldn't figure out where the leak was. It was always necessary for me to add antifreeze every two days to my truck. Someone else mentioned that their cap was bad and letting moisture out of the reservoir, and they were right. I installed the new cap and my problem has been solved.
A problem with my 2005 Cadillac SRX, which I had with a coolant leak with no apparent cause, was reported by some other reviewers. It was found that the O-ring on GM vehicles tends to lift up when there is a problem with the drivetrain The overflow vent tube is used to discharge coolant when the original radiator cap's seals wear out. Fortunately, I replaced the cap, and the fact that it is OEM ACdelco solved the problem.
It threads on easily and went on with no issues. I imagine there would be no more mysterious disappearing coolant either. I like the part, it came fast!.
It seems that even these wear out without having any evidence to support them and A touch of the rings confirms that they are in good shape. It's a shame that there is so little money for Error fix The leakage and smells problem was solved by replacing the old cap, which worked like a charm
. The software has been tested as of October 19th. Tuesday, November 2, 2014 to Thursday, November 15, 2014 Coolant not depleted, and OK.
I think everything will be okay in the end. The product works well, and it costs half as much as the dealer's. You should be careful to read the PN on the OEM one if it is older, because the PN shown on it may be the decal itself and not the cap (last number is The number molded into the plastic edge of the OEM cap can be found when the cap is turned over. In other words, the.
