I'll make the assumption that the Van is at the dealership... Now I wonder if the head gaskets are really blown, of the the LIM gaskets are dead... A good compression test would reveal the truth... Not sure what to tell you on the shops to call..
My thoughts as well. I will try to seek out a decent shop today.

The Van is the wifes and she can decide on any vehicle she would like to own. Another Bonneville has a slim to none chance.

Called a shop that I have done business with in the past and the cost will be somewhere between $1,500 and $2,000 for a full hed service and water pump if needed. I think the problem may be the water pump.

Whatever she wants is fine with me. Cody it is her vehicle to drive not mine. Just wait until you are married then you will understand.

Tom, I know that.

I just like throwing out useless suggestions.
