2002 Chevy suburban coolant leak
I just got done watching SD's video on the 04 suburban with the lean codes that was an intake leak.
I have the same issue- rough idle at start, both banks are lean codes in my 02 suburban 5.3.
But the suv runs great once warm once the codes actually cleared but returned the next day for both banks being lean.
My question is I have also been having a small amount of coolant disappear from the overflow bottle. But I have no idea where?!
I do know about the issue with some of the heads cracking, I have not removed the valve to see if my heads have that casting.
My question is could the leak of coolant be leaking into the manifold? Or is that not possible?
Thank you so much SD or anyone's time and knowledge! I great appreciate it!
Have a great day
Ed

Thank you, do you think the missing coolant is most likely the common cracked head?gav09 wrote: Coolant doesn't run through that manifold. Check for a vacuum leak when its cold. Intake gaskets are common.

Thank you so much, I just checked the underside of the oil fill cap and it was a little milky looking.gav09 wrote: Its possible. I would pressurize the cooling system and check for external leaks. If you can't find any external ones remove the valve covers and look for the Castech markings or signs of leaking there. Here is the bulletin for the head problem.
