Hey guys so heres the deal my 2001 yukon 5.3 with 196k on it. Is was running fine up to a month ago. I was pulling my boat a couple miles down the road and the temp creaped up to 230 when I pulled in my house. I got the boat unhooked and the temp went right back to 210 and was fine for a couple of weeks. Then one day I got home and and smelled antifreeze and I grabbed the heater hose and the plastic fitting broke. I had to bypass the heater core where I could get to work. Two weeks ago we put a set of 05 electric fans on it with a harness from brian toley that is all controlled by the computer. We got that done and I got on the highway it was 80 outside that day and it again got up to 230 for a min and went back down then went back up then was at 210 once i got off the highway. So I changed the thermostat and made sure there were no air bubbles and there wern't and that didn't help it. So I am wanting to know if anyone has seen or had this problem. It usually only does it on the highway. I am trying to sell it as I picked up a 05 Silverado today
