water pump GMC SIERRA 2001 Owner's Manual

5-12
If the coolant inside the coolant surge tank is boiling,
don't do anything else until it cools down.
When the engine is cold,
the coolant level should
be at or above the FILL
COLD mark. If it isn't,
you may have a leak in
the radiator hoses, heater
hoses, radiator, water
pump or somewhere else
in the cooling system.
CAUTION:
Heater and radiator hoses, and other engine
parts, can be very hot. Don't touch them.
If you do, you can be burned.
Don't run the engine if there is a leak. If you run
the engine, it could lose all coolant. That could
cause an engine fire, and you could be burned.
Get any leak fixed before you drive the vehicle.
NOTICE:
Engine damage from running your engine
without coolant isn't covered by your warranty.

Modeº in the Index.
