Replying to: k00l4id (Apr 12, 2009 10:29 am) OK, I had the head gasket replaced but the dealer somehow managed to not mention a recall. It is an '02 with around 116,000 miles on it. Would that not be covered for some reason? Replies to this message: k00l4id (Apr 12, 2009 5:48 pm) gmz1 (Apr 12, 2009 6:59 pm) s10chevybob (Apr 13, 2009 2:48 am)

Replying to: k00l4id (Apr 12, 2009 5:48 pm) Oh please give me more info on this possible head gasket recall for the 2002 venture, you will make my Easter the best ever. All day long I have been draining air out of the system but I'm not sure that I'm getting anywhere!

Replying to: k00l4id (Apr 12, 2009 5:48 pm) If it was a TSB it probably wasn't covered on a recall. Those are just a heads up to the dealers service department so they don't spend all day trying to figure out what the problem is.

Just a note to let you know I had the same problem. Had the head gasket replaced and a new water pump and now it runs perfectly...about $1200 total
#87 of 109 overheating problem fixed by gmz1 Apr 14, 2009 (3:02 pm)
After 3 days of repairs I finally broke down and took it to the dealer for repairs. Yes I said dealer, call me crazy! But low and behold they found the problem, not easily either! It was the rad! Even with the pressure test it took many mechanics to spot the leak. So the head gaskets are ok for now, but I now know what to look for. Thanks for all the advice. I now have I brand new cooling system minus $1,000. Replies to this message: chevettelover (May 28, 2009 8:25 am) k00l4id (May 28, 2009 8:56 am) AJGWHEELS (May 28, 2009 12:25 pm)

I have the same problem I will be driving slow in traffic and it will go toward the red as if it is overheating I turn on the AC to HEAT to allow it to come threw the vent's the air but it solves it for about a minute and it restarts heating up again.   Anyone got any ideas?

Replying to: ladyp (Apr 16, 2009 9:51 am) Well , it's probably air in the coolant system. The trick is to find out where it's coming from. As I previously reported a few days ago that the dealer had found my problem , bad radiator, it only lasted one night. The next day I had It towed back and then they told me it was the themostat, since I just replaced it myself two days earlier. Well now they have confirmed everyones original thought, head gaskets. So now the bill will total $3,500. I am fighting them since I told them it was the head gasket to begin with. No wonder GM is going under, this web site has more info on there vechicles than their Gm speacialists know! I should have listened to chevybob and just taken it to someone to get the head fixed. Thanks again! And I'm not done fighting the bill yet. Replies to this message: jbranson (Oct 06, 2009 12:04 pm) k00l4id (Oct 06, 2009 12:35 pm) jbranson (Oct 06, 2009 2:01 pm)
#90 of 109 2002 venture over heating by dbatenburg Apr 20, 2009 (8:46 am)
Does anyone know if the rad cooling fans have a variable temperature switch? Mine does not come on until the gauge is just outside of the red zone. Can it be over ridden?
