#1 of 2 96 yukon overheating by rydogg97 Oct 29, 2009 (12:32 pm)
last week yukon started running hot so as in other vehicles i changed t-stat and refilled and all was fine. yesterday it started to overheat again and went to ck coolant and found to be very low, added more and it did same thing today so added water but this time i ckd the dip stick and found oil level elevated and looked like choc. i have had no leaks of coolant ckd inside rugs dry crawled under truck and was dry. im thinking head gasket is leaking if so does anyone know of a decent temp seal? or does anyone have any suggestions as to what else to try. thanks Replies to this message: rsht (Oct 29, 2009 2:47 pm)

Replying to: rydogg97 (Oct 29, 2009 12:32 pm) Sorry to heard of the problem. Yes, it does sound like the head gasket... I would not suggest any short cuts and/or patches, but to replace the gasket(s). Fix them the right way will avoid any potential to an engine damage. Best wish!
