'99 Radiator Question
I have a '99 with a leaking radiator. When I went to the service manual to get the removal procedure. There is a statement that the radiator can be repaired with the "hot glue procedure".
What is the "hot glue procedure" and does it really work??? |

Re: '99 Radiator Question
What service manual was this in? I'm not familiar with hot glueing a radiator.....at least successfully, anyways...

Re: '99 Radiator Question
You are going to waste time and the easier way is to replace the whole radatior with less headaches doing it right the first time.You do need a special release tool,3/8" realease tool for the transmission lines which most parts stores sell.The fitting is a jiffy tite fitting which is much better than a flare nut fitting taking less time to remove,to put back in and no leaks.

Re: '99 Radiator Question
Thanks for the responses. I was going to replace the radiator when I found the reference to the "Hot Glue" in the GM factory service manual. I guess I'll replace the radiator.
