i was driving home from vegas, car started to run hot, i pulled over, checked radiator, and reservoir
both were empty. i filled them up, and continued on my way, this procedure happened all the way
home. then i noticed water leaking from the right side of the suburban, just behind the rear tire.
could this be why car keeps running hot..How do i change hose running from radiator to back of suburban or is that the problem?
If you have a heater in the rear (Many Suburbans do) that hose running to the heater is most likely the problem. If you can find the exact spot of the leak you may be able to fix it without replacing the whole hose. Whether you repair or replace it, make sure that it is hidden away up inside the frame when you are finished so it will not be hit by rocks from the road or caught on anything you drive over.How do i change hose running from radiator to back of suburban or is that the problem?
I suspect a blown head gasket. Water would be very visible coming out of the tailpipe, both steam and drips of water even when the engine is warmed up.How do i change hose running from radiator to back of suburban or is that the problem?
Isn't that where the tailpipe lets out/ You have a blown head gasket and maybe a cracked head too. The water is going through the combustion chamber and out the tailpipe. The engine gets hot after it loses water and can't cool down.
