Acdelco waterpump, coolant temp sensor, temp gauge sensor, front sway bar end links and ingition lock cylinder.

So far i replaced the radiator and after this everything will be new including upper and lower hoses. I also bought a brass adapter to get rid of that heater hose quick connect. I touched the thing and it moves easy like it can come loose any day. That has to be the worst idea they had with these trucks along with putting a 4l60e in these big ass trucks.

The quick connector will move a lot if you make it but it does its job and stays in place.

That may be true for the most part but I don't trust a small piece of plastic containing all my engine coolant. I will have better peace of mind with the mod.

If thats the connector in the intake my snapped off 2 years ago. Had it replaced with a brand new one and it looks like its ready to snap off again sometime when I least expect it. LOL

nice man, i did my waterpump, gaskets, thermostat and coolant hoses about 4 months ago all with ac delco. holding up/working like a champ. although when i was bolting on the thermostat housing to the water pump i felt like i almost stripped one of the little screws when i was torquing it to 106 in lbs. its holding no prob but just be careful with it i guess lol

No the worst idea was removing the internal coolant bypass from the heads and block.

Those quick connects are all junk, do yourself a favor, get rid of it and run a normal hose.
