Chevrolet G Series Van (G10) Problems
Intake Manifold Gasket May Leak Coolant or Engine Oil
The intake manifold gasket may develop and external engine oil or coolant leak. In some cases, an internal coolant leak may occur causing coolant to mix with the engine oil. Running the engine with a coolant/oil mix may result in engine damage. Replacing the intake manifold gasket should correct this issue.
Coolant Leak & Engine Overheating
A coolant leak may develop from the water pump. This can result in an engine overheating condition. A leaking water pump will require replacement.
Noise and/or Dead Battery Due to failed Alternator
The alternator may fail causing the battery to go dead. The charge light on the dash may or may not illuminate. The alternator may also develop an abnormal noise. A failed alternator will require replacement.
Oil Leak From Distributor Shaft Seal
An oil leak may develop from the distributor o-ring seal requiring replacement of the seal.
The Fuel Pump May Fail Causing the Engine to Stall or Crank Over But Not Start
The fuel pump may fail causing the engine to stall and not restart. Our technicians recommend replacing the fuel filter every 30,000 miles to help prevent undue strain on the fuel pump.
