radiator overflow reservoir

Post by violent b »

can someone please point me into the right direction to find a radiator overflow tank for my 95 astro. I have looked all over the web and can't find crap. Ebay, all kinds of car part online stores. I did find a generic one from JCWhitney but a direct replacement would be nice.

thanks in advanced for the help!

that is my next step. a new OE replacement would be my preferred way to go but if I have to I'll hit the junk yards.

$6 sounds good to me. now hopefully the junk yards will have it locally.

so I bit the bullet and went to the Chevy dealer today and bought the reservois from them. $24, I figured it's new, I don't have to sweat my butt off going through a junk yard to find out the one they have is cracked or something, and I have it now. well worht the money spent.

Just finding an Astro at the local junkyard I frequent is getting tougher every day with the price of scrap metal being what it is. I swear the 'yard boys know what vehicles that I like and are bent on crushing all of them first. I guess they don't like seeing me come around!
I think you did the right thing by getting a new reservoir.
