Blows coolant out the degas bottle

kiddd2 · 02-16-2007, 09:38 AM

Hey guys i have an 01 LB7 and it keeps blowing the coolant out of the degas bottle. I'm thinkin it might be the head gaskets but i was wondering if anyone had an idea

How many miles? Dose it have any modifications to it? Sounds like a head gasket but not sure yet!

ya, head gaskets is a good bet... the first gen was NOTORIOUS for blown head gaskets.... are you under 100K still??

Yea i got 98000 on it but none of the dealers around here will warrenty it because it past the 5 year mark

No special tool that i know of but i do know it takes something like 20 hours to do a set of head gaskets!

see what the Chilton manual says about that one

haha.. I'm not sure I would tackle the head gasket replacement on my own... but to my knowledge, no special tools required...
