Anyone know if the metal housing from the 07's will fit the 04's?

me guess would be yes. GM is very good at keeping things standard. I remember a guy had a 63 impala. With a 350 and some kind of transmission coming out of a 78 buick. He blew the engine in montana. What he did was buy a brank new 2000, 350 engine, swapped manifolds and a few other things, dropped it in and left the same day.
My housing is leaking on my 04, I took a look at the metal one on our 07 last night, and it looks slightly longer, which may mean you would need to cut the hose from the radiator...
I'm just going to order one, worst case scenario, I eat the $20. Will let everyone know.
Let me know ASAP i was the one that cracked it first posted photo's too i would much rather the metal one rather then the plastic that i had to replace it with
well, gm-car-parts sent me the plastic one, even though I ordered one for an '07... though this should mean that they're interchangeable.
well... replaced the thermostat... still leaking from somewhere right there...
hoses seem fine... I'm all out of ideas, will probably just take it in =/
you may have a crack in the block right where the thermastat attaches.
Took it in this afternoon. A hose was leaking (the one that's held in place by the timing belt cover), which I knew. They said the water pump was leaking, which will be replaced under warranty. They also tried to say the thermostat housing was leaking... which I just replaced not 5 days ago.
In total the trip should cost me around $450 =/
Timing belt, tensioner, cover gasket
Serpentine belt and tensioner
Misc hoses/clamps.
Ouch...
well, the belts/tensioners needed to be done irregardless... got quoted $320 for the belt/waterpump at another non-dealer shop... so it's not terrible. Was originally going to be $550 total. This was before we found out that the waterpump was covered under warranty. Hopefully they'll just throw the labor to remove the cover/timing belt/etc into the warranty, since they have to do it to remove the waterpump anyways.
Should come out to less that $430 considering the dealer cost for the water pump was $120.
that's good... yea hopefully you can just have them put on a new timing belt when they are doing everything...
When I have my TB/WP done on my Probe I had, it was $330 to get both done... I supplied parts...
