has anyone had problems with these going out? I was driving back from a show on saturday and blew one and within 3 miles the car overheated and turned off, luckily I was pulled into a parking lot when it died. Im having the new ones put in today.

 

On the F-Body variant of the 3800 they go bad CONSTANTLY. I haven't heard the problem for our cars.

Unless you mean the coolant elbows, because those are so frequent is pathetic.

 

yeah it is for the coolant. Im having aluminum ones put on today.

 

The aluminum ones are still very new, so their long-term durability I haven't heard from yet.

However, most people have had good luck with them so far

 

Im just praying that there was no damage done to the engine or anything else.

 

what all is needed to replace these and what tools do i need and how would i go about it, im broke down an hour from my house at college?

 

This thread was just made which explains it pretty much check it out
