SOURCE: why does my 98 deville continue to overheat?

check to see if there is a valve (usually vacuum actuated) inline somewhere on the lines that go from the block to the heater core. Maybe it is stuck...

SOURCE: having trouble removing the radiator/coolant cap

Press down very firmly and twist while cold. Usually takes a lot of downward pressure.

SOURCE: 1993 cadillac deville: caliper problem

on a 1993 Deville I believe that GM installed 2 seperate brake lines from LH and RH leading from the calipers so that if one went out at least you had stopping power in the other caliper. this was done as a safety feature because of past fatalities from previous accidents.

SOURCE: how do i raise an 89 sedan deville with air struts

You should have coil over stuts/shocks. On the rear you will have to put a coil kit on, but the front is ready to be changed. All you have to do is replace the air shocks with normal shocks with coil springs/helper springs. You can normally find these kits at auto supply stores, but you can also find them online, and possibly eBay. Make sure to shop around before you make a purchase. Your other option is to replace your air bags with lifter shocks. You would run the air lines to a convenient place where you can air them up manually. This would allow you to change the height of the car and the ride of the car. But this will make the "Cadillac ride" become more of a truck feel. Hope this helps you with your decision.

Cadillac engine overheating

Head gaskets.Nortstar engines use soft metal aluminum block, so over time heat and pressure makes the head bolts pull from the block. Not a easy fix. Drive train must be removed, head bolt holes drilled out. Do a block test on it for exhaust in coolant. Repairs run from $2500-$5500. Gud luc

Removing a starter on 89 oldsmobile 98.we can not locate the bolts

this starter should have 2 bolts , One long and one short , traveling up into the block, the long one goes through a large block of aluminum on the starter, and the short one is on a tab Both should be easily visible from under the car . , be sure and unhook the positive battery cable prior to starter removal,

Engine is overheating. Radiator cooling fans are not coming on.

The northstar engine has head bolt issues, test for exhaust in the cooling system. What happens is under load compression gasses get pushed into the cooling system, and that pushes coolant out....
One clue is the loss of heater temp.
This is extremely expensive to fix, as you need to totally disassemble and put block on machinists bench for new head bolt threads in the aluminum block...
Replacement of head gaskets will only be short term fix.

How to take out the radiator and ac radiator

Unfortunately you may not like the answer. The manuals cal for you to take the entire front end apart, including the bumper. I'll tell you, you will have to take the front end almost apart. Start by removing the battery, negative post first as this is necessary to the airbag sensors. Remove the battery and the tray. Next remove the electrical power distribution box and lay it aside. mark and remove the hood latch so you can line it back up on the install. Now there are several bolts to remove across the radiator shroud brace remove them and note the different lenghts so you can return them on re-installation. drain the radiator and remove the hoses top right and bottom left. If you have an automatic transmission you will need a special tool to remove the lines (found at your local parts stores). On the bottom of the vehicle you will need to have removed the protection shroud. once you have the lines and hoses disconnected you will need to remove the headlight assemblies by the bolts and not the adjustment rods. there you will find behind them a plug disconnect for your airbag sensors on the right and the left as well as two bolts on each side remaining in the shroud. remove the shroud by pulling up and to one side or the other while pulling out on the bumper at the top. after this there will be two brackets at the bottom to remove the radiator. The radiator will come out through the bottom of the car. To continue with removing the a/c radiator (condenser coil), using the same style tool for removing the transmission lines, disconnect the lines and remove it as well. Remember though to have the freon properly drained if the system is still charged as the intense pressure can cause injury when taking the lines apart. Installation is the reverse of the dis-assembly.
