Description of the problem | Plastic radior tank cracks. This seems to be an issue with gm vehicles in general. I have talked with several people that have experienced the same problem. Crack seems to start at mounting bolt for radior. I have always owned gm vehicles and currently own 3 however, at the cost of $400. 00+ to replace my plastic radior, i may have to reconsider my future purchases.*ak |
