Replying to: kyredhead (Oct 10, 2006 9:23 am) Many of the 4.3L engines from 95-01 have problems with the intake manifold gasket. It may sound like no big deal but actually it is. Radiator fluid tends to leak out of the bad gasket and you would never know it. Radiator fluid not only keeps your engine cooled but also keeps the transmission cooled. The 4.3L is a good engine but it's one of those engines that has a dysfunctional personality and you have to have a good mechanic that will service it routinely.
