coolant tank

Where can I buy a new coolant tank? Mine is cracking at the seam and leaking. I thought about putting some goop on it but don't want to take a chance that the proper pressure buildup in the cooling system would be affected, or somthing like that. Thanks

Old Bird: I have a nasty feeling that it's either going to be the stealership or a wrecking yard. I don't think that there is much of a market for an after market "Degauss (sp?) Tank"

Clean it real good and drill a small hole at each end of the crack to stop it, then buff it with a wire wheel and use JB Weld it is good to 380 degrees and there isn't much you can't fix with it. Just to get you by till you locate one.

There was a member on here that did the same thing a couple months ago. He tried to JB it or something but he ended getting a new degas tank. IMHO it's not worth the hassel of trying to fix it. Just get yourself a new one...

True. That was tndiesel and he used JB. I would hold for awhile then leak again. He did it over and over till I sent him one. I got it from the dealer at a deep discount for him. My contact there is gone now though. Try dealer and get buddy buddy with him. Or try the junkyards. I also seem to remember tjbeggs had a truck he was parting out. PM him.
