Hi guys, thought I make an appearance. Just brought a 2000 Catera Sport with 148k miles on it(yes alot I know, im amazed its still running myself after everything i've read here!). For the day I drove it, it rocks! and everything besides the heated seats work (will check fuses for them later)...

holy hell... what a PITA. ( 1998 STS ) i just need to vent. i have done two alternators before on my eldorados... they arent bad.. just remove the fan and drop it out.. but are you KIDDING ME! remove the AC rad and the water rad JUST to get at the damn thing.. drain the coolant too...

I have a problem with our 1999 STS. There is a coolant leak at the crossover where it connects with the front bank. I was wondering if anyone has any hints on best method to proceed? I have the time, and the patience, just want to make sure that I have my ducks in a row. I used dye treated...

So i discovered where I was leaking coolant, it was from the part pictured below. It would leak onto a hot metal pipe below and evaporate before it could hit the ground( which explains why i didnt have a puddle of coolant under my car). I want to replace this part but i dont know what the name...

Took a trip today to an unfamilar area in the Cadillac. Google maps directed us to an unpaved road which I decided to take since we had already driven for an hour. Before long the unpaved road turned into more of a trail/path, with grass in between the light treads left by the few other cars...

Start the car up and it feels like my '02 Z28. You can barely feel or hear it but I take notice of these things. These things idle like sewing machines so hence my concern. I think there is a drop in midrange performance. Gas mileage is slightly suffering. Was going to check the plugs till...

I have an "05" and when i get into the garage i can smell coolant. I have checked that motor over and can't find any signs of a leek. I have only had the car for a few months so i dont know if this is normal for the LS6 or if I'm just lucky. Has anyone else had this problem?

I am flushing the radiator on my 1993 Sedan Deville. If I understand my owners manual correctly I should not be using the Green Antifreeze, but should be using DEX COOL b/c it protects Aluminum engines...can anybody tell me if that is correct? Also, I may have a blown head gasket and I ordered a...

Just bought a cadillac deville(126k miles) despite the owner said it overheated once on him and he replaced some part and it hadnt happened since then. Also, the pre- owner said some ppl looked at it and it might just need a thermostat replaced. Coolant was full at time of purchase Well 3 days...

Just bought a cadillac deville(126k miles) despite the owner said it overheated once on him and he replaced some part and it hadnt happened since then. Coolant was full at time of purchase Well 3 days into owning it was driving home, and temp went all the way up and overheated, so i pulled over...

Hello, so 2 days ago My low coolant light came on, I topped it off, later that night the light was on and I had to add about 1-2 inches of fluid every time to the overflow container. So I looked under the car and can see a leak dripping off the transmission, I look under the hood and might...

After running my car hard (high RPMs) for about 10 minutes, the coolant temperature reached 236 degrees F. The photo below shows the temp. gauge over the half mark. Is this normal? Doesn't seem normal to me. Anyway, I'm getting the coolant changed tomorrow. I'm taking it to the dealer since...

I took my Cadillac Deville 1987 for a 30 minute drive yesterday and when i got back the engine coolant was empty and there was a puddle of it on the ground below. the spread was very wide and coolant was in lots of place, suggesting that the engine overheated and the coolant boiled over and...

Been reading here for a few months, enough to know that the probability of my 98 Deville with 160,000 miles on it heading toward head gasket failure is pretty good. History: The engine has never overheated, but I wasn't sure of that until reading this forum. The highest temp was 230 something...

Which is the correct thermostat OE temp-----180 degrees or 195 degrees?

Was just curious of what the average coolant temp my car should be reading? its usually around 196-206 depending on how im driving usually. i wasnt sure if it was suposed to stay under 200 or what normal temps were for these? thanks. -Mike

I have a '95 SLS, which does NOT have an analog gauge for coolant temp, just the info found on the DIC. This is the first vehicle I've owned without a dedicated gauge (I've added one to my '62), so when I read threads on what position the gauge is indicating (for example, anything past the 12...

Ok so Ive posted on here before about my 1992 Cadillac Sts with a 4.9 overheating but recently Ive noticed that my coolant will start bubbling over even before the car reaches a high temperature (at around 90 degrees it will boil over) and shortly after this the temperature will begin to rise...

99 deville , brought around 6 months back with 110000 miles, started having high temps in engine shortly after that. i noticed that coolant level comes down every alternate day, did not see any external leaks with engine running or puddles under the car. 2 mechanics have tried and spent around...

Hello my fellow Caddy owners. I haven't been here in awhile since I guess I haven't had any problems. Well recently I discovered I had transmission fluid in my radiator and I did have this verified after I found what I thought I found. Heres the deal. I have replaced the radiator and have my...
