My 99 Tahoe has a radiator leak. I noticed a small puddle of rusty fluid on the garage floor and have been running low on coolant. I have been adding coolant, and wondering if there is anything to get me some more time before I have to replace the whole unit. Any additive that will help fill the hole? Am I just nuts and should just replace the radiator?

Calm down Noobie, this is how it works around here. If you can`t take a tease then change forum!


Use some JB weld to fix the hole or solder it if you can... Don`t use stop leak, itll fuck up something else.


Oh and I forgot









Welcome NOOBIE :flipoff2:

I am/was calm! Thanks for the info...will chase the leak some more and see about patchin her up.

Check the the plastic tank on the drivers side. It is very common to get a hairline crack. This happens when your radiator gets clogged up. I just had my 96 Tahoe and 95 Sub fixed. It's $35.00 for the tank and $65.00 for them to rod out the core. Hope that helps.

Check where the Radiator Core and the Radiator tanks join up sometimes the brazing/welds there develop leaks, if the overflow tank is fine. If the problem is the radiator itself take it out yourself and take it to a radiator shop. They normally are pretty inexpensive. Pulling it and re-installing it will save you probably the majority of the labor cost involved in fixing it.
