97 Bravada Overflow Problem
Hey Last week my temp Gauge Spike and went redline and then shot back down to 1/4 of the temp gauge i was 2mins away from the house so i went home and popped the hood and there was no coolant left in there. So i go out and buy 50/50 mix and put it in drive it around the neighborhood and all was good. Well i get home today from bein out and just randomly decided to check under the hood and teh Overflow Tank is empty again. I followd the overflow hose coming from the top of the tank and its not connected to anything. Is this a problem and is the tank suppose to be empty. Also when the Heat runs it has a smell of Oil. Any kind of help would be great Thanks

Re: 97 Bravada Overflow Problem
The coolant tank top vent hose just vents to the open air, no problem.
The smell from the heater, does it smell like the antifreeze? Is the passenger side front floorboard wet? Sounds like you've got a big leak.

Re: 97 Bravada Overflow Problem
The listed time is 2 hours. (0.9 for warranty). Working steady and thoroughly it shouldn't take any longer than 1 1/2 hours. (I can do one in 45 minutes)
There is a walkthrough with pictures here: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=498467

Re: 97 Bravada Overflow Problem
damn yo you can do a waterpump in 45min it took me 8 hours to get everything apart and then another 5 hours to put it all back together. granted i was doin it in 30 degree weather so i was takin alot of warming up breaks. But the tutorial gave me alot of help thanks for that. and my baby is workin a hell of alot better. Props to these fourms i will definately return if the Bravada decides to pull anything else on me
