Hi guys, All new to chevy's and tahoes, always been a ford guy:naughty:
Just bought a 2001 Tahoe LT, fully loaded with 148000 miles on it. So far I love this truck , it rides so good and for as many miles that are on it seems like it runs like a new one. I mainly bought it because the wife is having our second child and the old 86 ranger ain't gonna cut it. Hope it last me a while..I have found a small coolant leak that looks like it may be coming from behind the water pump. It's not coming out of the weep hole. Went to the chevy dealer and was quoted 345 dollars just for the pump and t stat.:Whoa: Napa was 165 so went with that. Going to tackle the first project this weekend. Other than that all looks good> thanks for reading...

:welcome: to the forum.

The coolant leak may be from the water pump gasket or could be coming down from the intake gasket. They are known for the intake gasket leak. Get a good look at the weep hole to be sure.
