wheres my coolant going?
gotta 03 silverado, 5.3 with a few bolt on mods but no internal mods. my coolant keeps randomly disappearing. im seeing no signs of any leaks or puddles on the ground. ive heard all kinds of ****, could be coming in threw the head and burning up in the combustion chamber, could be water pump. so i come to yall to help me figure out what it may be. ill be taking the truck on a 5hr drive in 2 weeks so id like to figure it out before then. any help would be great.
thanks

The water pump gaskets are a common failure, and often won't leave any signs of leakage. They're a cheap easy fix too. I've heard of the heads cracking but don't have the specifics...there was a thread about it not too long ago. Search this section and maybe the GM General section and you should find it.

well gonna be trying to change the gasket my self this weekend. after talking to my buddy said you could remove fan shroud, belt and get to the 6 bolts on the water pump. said the most agravating part was getting the gasket to line up. does this sound correct to yall?
