steveo412 Posted October 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 sorry,,this is a photo of the heatercore and ac componets from the passenger side!i wanted to mark everything but for some reason it wont go threw,if u look closely u can see the silver box off to the right in the back,the first black box that has a around shape is something with ac ,,not sure,,and u can see the rod at the top that needs removed,,the heatercore is in the back,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BodybyFisher Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 I have a thread on the front motor mount, not a bad job, you can do it, check www.rockauto.com and www.gmotors.com for prices on it As far as the O2 sensor, you were NOT getting an O2 sensor code were you? How did they determine you needed an O2 sensor without a code? Your check engine light was OFF, no?

BodybyFisher Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 I hear you, I wish you would have told me about the check engine O2 code before you went. All in all however I guess $300 is not too bad for all of that work including parts, and I know you are beat from all of that work. Ill bet its running great now.

CarlaValentine Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 I've heard that there are states where your car will fail inspection if it has rust holes bigger than 1 inch in diameter. Some states are REALLY strict I guess. It's one of the things I like about living in New York. You can have no body on your car at all, so long as it has seatbelts and a windshield, you are good to go! Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveo412 Posted November 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 i took a ride today,and got a hot engine light,i let it cool down,and cheched the coolant,it was low on coolant,,i see no leaks,none in the oil,,,could this be because of new rad and heatercore,,maybe the rad and heatercore wasnt filled,it was low 1 gallon,,drove it home 5 miles and was fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BodybyFisher Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 If the rad or header core was not filled you would have gotten a low coolant light, did you get a low coolant light? Did you replace the tank?, I forget? Check the purge line to see if it clogged up, now. Can you remove the "bolt with a hole in it"?

BodybyFisher Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 On the top of the coolant tank there is a hose, not the one attached to the cap's overflow, there is another hose, if you follow that hose it goes across the engine and connects near the throttle body. That line allows AIR to get out of the cooling system. The first thing to do is to TEST to see if that line is flowing coolant First, with the engine COOL, gently pull that hose off of the cooant tank without breaking off the nipple, let it hang down Then go and start the engine, let it idle Then go and look at that hose, it should have a steady flow of coolant Does it, yes or no?

steveo412 Posted November 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 yes it comes out as a steady flow,i just dont understand how water is missing,,there is no leaks and no water in the oil,do u think there was air in the system?and thats why it was taking more coolant,,i think it took aleast 3 gallons total so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to pressurize that cooling system, and find out what is going on Pre-1995 - DTC codes OBD1 >> 1996 and newer - DTC codes OBD2 >> https://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/gm/obd_codes.htm How to check for codes Caddyinfo How To Technical Archive >> http://www.caddyinfo.com/wordpress/cadillac-how-to-faq/ Cadillac History & Specifications Year by Year http://www.motorera.com/cadillac/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider the radiator side tanks. Common leak points and the front side is obscured by the condenser. Are you running Dex? If so, dried Dex leaves a chalky white telltale residue.

BodybyFisher Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 Ranger, Steve just replaced the radiator, heater core and crossover seals.... this is a mystery at this point, What is left? Coolant tank, cap, heater pipes?
