skyman Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Putting my second water pump in tomorrow. Stopped by local GM dealer to pick up some pellets and they had closed. Question...I've heard that there are other products one can buy from the auto parts store that are basically the same thing, Anyone know which product that is? Also, I think I read in a post a while back that the pellets have to be put in the lower radiator hose. Do they need to be crushed up or just put in whole?

Just put them (the powder) thru the radiator neck. How long did your water pumps last? The saddest thing in life is wasted talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Hi, I asked a similar question a day ago, here is the reply I received Where do I get the tablets, at the dealership? Get them at any GM dealer or buy Barsleaks tabs (product code HDC). They are the same thing. Barsleaks makes them for GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 On the 4.9 they go in the radiator as adallak said. Crush them if you can't fit them in whole (quite likely because of the cooling line inside the side tank) or use the powdered version again shown by adallak. Tabs are Barleaks product code HDC, powered version is G12BP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
