Review on ACDelco 15809049 Original Equipment Engine by Mike Groover

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect fit, labor intensive installation

The part is a factory replacement at a good price, be aware it took me around 2 hours to complete . have a good tool kit. I'll give you the basic steps I took to install it. Put the car on ramps, chock the rear wheels, remove the engine skid plate, remove the oil filter, place a jack under the front differential, remove the bolt and lower the differential about 4 inches to clear the line to create, remove the bolt from the mounting bracket on the line, remove the bolts from the aluminum block that attaches to the engine side block, remove the battery, remove the air cleaner ducts, remove the 2 retaining clips holding the pipes in the radiator, thread in the old pipe , thread in the new pipe and in reverse order (I also remember having to disconnect driveshaft but I don't remember if it was front or rear)

Pros
  • Offers GM quality, reliability and durability OE
Cons
  • A newer model could have been chosen
