You had to search using the catalog...

Nice !!!

Holy crap man! Are those FOR REAL!!! I'd say I'd RUSH to change mine, but I don't wanna rip into it. BUT, I think my next purchase, I MUST get me a set of these!!! Keep them on hand!!

I thought so too!
So what your saying is you have been holding out on us all!
part # and link in first post now!

Thanks I added it to the first post!
:thumbsup:
I have a plastic set sitting in my centerconsole waiting to go in, looks like I'm returning them and seeing if my budy can order then through orielly, disount! If he can, if not i'll get some anyways

Dorman had issues with the o-rings and the elbows actually staying in the engine.

I hope that they fixed that issue when they made these...

Hm, I haven't had any issues like that... Just the typical cracking of cheap plastic

Some have had good results (I'm running Dorman) but a bunch of other people have had 2 sets of Dorman pop right back out and had to go to the GM branded ones.

They are definitely different if you compare them.

Wow, guess I've been "lucky". I've been through 3 sets of them, I'm sure I always got Dorman. No pop outs, just breakage lol.

These look nice but I wonder how long the o rings will last.

Damn finally! :rotfl:

i let my Gm ones go with my old motor :nono: they wouldnt come out without damaging them lol i dont even think they had a months use :rolleyes:
for my L26 i got a dorman set haha, but when/if they these break im definitely going with the alum. ones!! :)

Frank, do the swap NOWWW :)

Oh how I wished I knew about these! My husband and I had to replace the plastic ones on my S-Charged back in December...

I had bad luck with Dorman when I did the LIM on my Intrigue. I could tell immediately that they didn't fit right and I immediately replaced them with GM elbows.

Where do these things go? I have yet to change mine, i prob need to :rotfl:

My GM service manual is showing them on the bracket that holds the tensioner. Is that correct?

Yes.. On the passenger side of the LIM, directly below the snout of a supercharger (if you have one)

Best image I could find. The one to the right you can see go into your LIM.

Perfect pic, thanks.

I found the aluminum ones at Intense racing:
INTENSE-Racing.com: Aluminum 3800 Coolant Elbows

wish they had these in stores my coolant elbow blew off the other day

I've had 2 sets of dormans break... I'd be awful leery even of these aluminum ones
