Radiator question
Unfortunately my 2016 Express needs a new radiator, not too happy about that. It has been leaking sooslo for a while now but I think I am going to have to change it. I went to order a new one and there is always a question of with or without sensor hole. Not sure how to tell which one I need or where to find out on my existing radiator. Anyone have an idea.

Nobody?

My guess is, does it have a level light on the dash, i.e. coolant low? Look at an image of the radiator, locate the sensor hole from the image, then look at your existing radiator.

Thanks for responding. It just kinda sucks that a 3 year old van needs a new radiator. |
Just get the one with the hole. If your van doesn't have the sensor, then stick a 3/8 NPT plug in it. They cost two dollars.

The rad I last got had a factory push and turn plug in the extra hole so it could be used either way.

Did you look at your radiator? It seems to me that there's either wires going to it, or there's not.

i guess some vans come with a temp sensor in the radiator......i just changed my radiator in my 2013 express 1500 5.3.....i didnt have a temp sensor in mine......look at this page.......
https://www.gmpartscenter.net/auto-p...omponents-scat i may be in the drivers side of the radiator.........ALSO.....getting the air out of this system is a process......post up if you have an issue getting the air out..... |
you can also use the same page to enter your VIN to get your specific part....if you can get the GM OEM part number you can cross reference it with a possible aftermarket number.....
