Tonyrodz's Tahoe Build Thread

Idk, it leaked that little bit initially, but then nothing else. Nothing else has given me trouble. What else could it be? Pressurized fine before that happened.

Yup, heat worked great, no issue there.

It could be the sensor, thermostat, or gauge.

Def not the gauge. I took it for a ride last weekend, then checked for pressure in the system--wasn't any, and the gauge was a little past 160. I've never had a problem with the cluster before, and it was rebuilt. I know that doesn't mean anything tho.

How are you checking for pressure?

How are you checking for pressure?

Just by hand, squeezing the upper radio hose, and the inlet/outlet hoses for the heater core. You can also see the coolant feeding(circulating) into the overflow bottle when it's running. When the system is pressurized you don't see it doing that.

What's a good way to check it?

Maybe you can check the ohms or something? IDK, Ive never had to check one lol

Thx for the video. Seems easy enough.

For the record, I did not watch the video. It was just the first one that popped up in google
