Knowing what I know now, I wouldnt have bought my LBZ, i would have gone to a LB7.
Why is that?

the only problem i have had with my truck is waterpumps....i have had it replaced 3 times. I cant complain much though...i have only paid $100 for all 3 pumps thanks to warranty and me being persistant with the dealer.
actually rite now mine needs to be replaced

I dont know what is causing mine to leak all the time. the original pump lasted 46,000 miles. the second one lasted less than 4500 miles before leaking and the third made it about 8000 miles, but only because i put it off since it was the middle of winter. As long as mine fails again before june or july next year, i am still covered. No need to really do an antifreeze change or flush since they have changed the pump so many times.

They couldnt explain it to me. The first one that i got replaced was probably because of the tech that did the work....it took them 3 DAYS to get it changed out and there were things messed up when i got it back. The second one...i dont know..possibly because of the cold, but i doubt it. We will see how long this one lasts.

someone told me that using DEX-COOL makes them go. But I was like "Thats what is recommended, look at the cap!" LOL
