What's on your mind?
Radiator is only 8 mths old.
The radiator cap says closed system fill through resivoir.
At fisrt a few weeks ago I notice the resivoir wasn't full. So I topped it off. It leaks down to about mid point so I've been watching it.
I thought it might just be a crack in the resivoir.
The temp gauge is fine.
Today when I pulled into the garage it was boiling over through the resivoir.
I'm a single woman and I'm not dating a mechanic.
What do you think it could be NOW??!! UGH !!!
I googled it & I'm seeing everything from a simple thermostat to a head gasket.
Could there be a clog in the radiator?

Sorry for the bad news and most likely going to be a bad intake manifold or head gasket. Inspect your engine oil and see how bad the oil is, you may find a sludge from the coolant mixing. The other place to inspect is the oil filler cap and the PVC valve, inspect the inside for sludge (milk like substance). This will indicate how bad the coolant has been mixing and your going to have to get the failed gasket fixed soon as possible and change the oil soon also.
Coolant mixed with the oil will cause corrosion to your internal engine bearings. The coolant is very corrosive and if not addressed soon will cause you to install a new engine from a failed crank bearings. Add a bottle of http://www.marvelmysteryoil.com/ and then change your engine old and filter to clean out the contaminated oil from your engine and have your gasket replaced.
Keep me posted and be glad to help you get your Jimmy running 100% again soon if not, it may be time to sell it buy an other one.

Hello, hive! I have a 1999 GMC K1500 Suburban. When I step on the brake pedal, no keys in switch, the dash and marker lights come on. When headlights are off, driving normally, both turn signals work normally, but the dash and marker lights flash with right turn signal. When headlights are on, left signaL works normally, but right signal buzzes a little at the relay, but does not blink, even though the rear lamp does light on the right side. I am at a loss. So is my mechanic. Help??

I'm replacing a lower seat foam and leather. The lower foam is attached to a smaller metal frame and is then bolted to the main seat frame. At the rear of the foam/smaller frame there are 2 locating pins that must fit into holes at the rear of the lower seat before the 2 front screws line up with the holes to put screws in. I' not sure what to call them but I need at least 1, 2 would be better, help please.

"I've come across quite a few articles about lifter damage lately. I assume much of it is marketing hype, but I suspect there’s some truth to it in certain cases. Any thoughts or real-world experiences?"
