gp90se Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 So if I drive in a 3100, 3400, 3800 or 4.3 litre made between 95-04 and under 150k miles, they will replace the LIM free of charge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 I still don't see anything about the 4.3's LIM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SigEpCutlass Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 nowhere near as many I don't know about that. My '94 had them replaced the first time before the car even had 45,000 miles. The second time was at ~110,000 miles last February. Let's hope they don't need to be changed again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to use the permadry gaskets, but it didn't happen. The first time the LIM gaskets were changed I didn't own the car yet, so it was done at the Olds dealership. When the LIM job was done last February I ended up having to pay a dealer to do it. I didn't have a garage, and it was below 0 degrees outside with the wind chill. I have the revised GM gaskets on there now, so hopefully they'll hold up for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed I was losing coolant for a while, but I knew my dad won't pay for shit till its broke. The day they went, I smelled coolant and all of a sudden I lost heat and my needle got hot quick! Parked the truck, 2 days later had it towed to my house (it was October, thank god). And a buddy and I did the gaskets, cleaned out the intake, replaced a shitload of hoses, waterpump and some other stuff. The stock gaskets looked like total shit.

BXX Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Am I the only one with a 3x00 that just hit 160000 miles on the original LIM gaskets. Oh wait, records show at 50K the owner has the dex flushed out and regular coolant put in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRONDOG442 Posted February 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 My dad has never flushed his coolant in hsi 1994 Supreme 3100 and he has 198,000 miles on his original intake seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you use a torque wrench? My dad has never flushed his coolant in hsi 1994 Supreme 3100 and he has 198,000 miles on his original intake seal. I'm curious does the level in the overflow ever change? My truck never leaked a drop, but the bottle would always be low even when I filled it.

93CutlassSupreme Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 So you're saying that GM's economy cars sucked...therefore...GM sucks? I'm not saying GM sucks. I'm saying GM has a history of building only poor quality small cars, so to say that GM's current products are the best in GM's history isn't much of a complement. The past has shown us that GM really has a problem building a high quality small car, and even GM's larger cars aren't exactly competitive in the market. I am waiting for the ball to drop on the Colbat/G5, for some HUGE recall or serious flaw in the design to be exposed. Ditto for the G6/Aura/Malibu. Also, I think it is impossible to rebuild General Motors and use V-6 engines that date to 1980 (60* platform) or the mid 60's (90* platforms) in most of their products. GM's I5 is a poor replacement for the 4300, and GM refuses to replace the 60* platform or the 3800 with their OHC V-6, even though every other automaker has replaced OHV V-6 engines with OHC V-6s. Ditto for GM's extensive use of 4-speed automatics. Most other automakers have moved to 5 or 6-speed automatic transmissions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
