:roflmao:

Well got 70 miles under her belt. all good so far. water pump is making a little noise (its brand new) so we will see where that leads, not leaking out the weep hole or anything though.

Only issue i have is my gauge cluster. my Odometer/PRND and message center wont light up (they are just black) and certain indicator lights wont light up (like cruise). Everything else works as far as gauges. its had a problem before where it would take a minute or two every once and a while to come on but it would always come on. Thought i read somewhere about the cold sodier coming loose on the back of the cluster which would make sense. anyone have any experience with this? this isnt your typical stepper motor issue (that must be a 03-up deal since im still on factory stepper motors).

When you say making a little noise ... does it sound like a whirling noise . Ran into some issues with water pumps in the past myself . Is it a AC DElco pump ?

Replaced mine 6/11 with a new ACDelco and since then it has made a whirling noise... Don't worry about it

ac delco tig welded from guy. not a whirling noise. more like a gear mesh noise. its gotten quieter, could be a good or bad thing lol
