Re: Oil in the Radiator?

flushed the radiator system. Found the water pump had a small leak so replaced it. Also changed the thermostat just for kicks. Still not finding any water in the oil. Car is running ok and no gunk buildup yet. Maybe it was the issue of the GM antifreeze. I am running the old style antifreeze now.

Re: Brake, ABS, and Traction light all on Code 1040

Latest update on trouble shooting this. I purchased a Automotive short and open finder to track the wire circuits.

Re: Brake, ABS, and Traction light all on Code 1040

I have a cheap code reader, it is telling me the U1040 code. If it was one of the wheel sensors, would it give that code? Or would it be a specific code for that wheel?
