Thread: Coolant Leak

Hello, I have developed a coolant leak on my vehicle. It seems to be coming from a valve situated on the left hand side (as you look at the vehicle from the front) My question is what is this item called? I need this as parts are difficult to obtain over here in the UK unless you can tell them EXACTLY what you want! It is inline on a a pipe approx 1 1/2 inches in diameter, wit a 1/4 inch pipe leading from it and looks like a coolant return pipe from the heater, though not absolutely sure. The truck has front and rear air. The pipe is adjacent to the exhaust manifold. Many thanks in advance

Ron, where in Kansas are you? I lived in Salina, and wichita for 6 years.
Will take another look at the part you have pictured and come back to you. also, wipers, and screen washer not working, any ideas... Durn thing parked too long I guess! Regards Nick

I live 'bout 10 miles south of Salina. I couldn't imagine paying $8.00 for a gallon of fuel and driving a 454 Burb, no wonder its been parked...
As far as inop wipers/washer, check fuses, grounds, connections, etc..
IIRC, there was a factory recall on the "wiper motor relay" (lil' circuit board). It would cause the wiper motor to quit unexpectedly, it may or may not be a contributing factor.
