💡 Stant 12032 Metallic Cooling System Adapter: Efficient Cooling Solution Review

into Trailblazer cooler; It's like the themes are a little off the hook or something. It will flow into reservoirs of various GMs. I bought another brand that appears to be the same but fits. The threads on this are just a little wrong either way.

I am a professional technician, so my tools are used and abused a lot. This worked great for almost a year. But when it fails, it fails hard. The adapter exploded and I ended up in a coolant bath. Luckily it wasn't hot. However, it is great for the home user. Pros should buy rigging or equivalent. Still worth 4 stars because the price is right. I will buy another one to replace the broken one.

Good quality, used 5 times and works well every time. I was hesitant to purchase this product due to some negative reviews, but my experience is positive. The material is plastic with a rubber O-ring for pressure sealing, as is the manufacturer's cooling system cover (plastic with O-ring). It's possible that people with negative experiences didn't realize the gasket was on the o-ring and used too much force when using it.

This works great with my Stant pressure tester. It's expensive for one piece, but less than buying a whole bunch of adapters, 90% of which you'll never use, and the effectiveness of the adapter you need is questionable. My pressure tester works great, is absolutely reliable and will last a long time. If I get another vehicle that my current kit won't work with, I'm happy to buy another stant adapter to work with.

Reportedly fits a 2005 Suburban 5.3 surge tank and allows connection of a Stant booster pump. The blower held the pressure when I placed the adapter in the palm of my hand, but it didn't pressurize the car's cooling system (the system builds up pressure when it's warm, so there's not a huge leak). This adapter will NOT close the surge tank opening on 2000-2006 (and possibly others) GM, Suburban and Yukon pickups.
