Man i just don't even want to look at the thing right now, 3 weeks in the air from waiting for a stub shaft, managed to make the viscous axle work with some lathe time a carbide drill and some roll pins (a stroke of genius on my part if i do say so) take it out and 5 hours later the damn cooler blows the hell up. now i'm going to have to tear the front end back apart not to mention cleaning the crap out of the engine bay, but like i said don't go blaming gtm just yet we'll save that until after i take it apart and see where she's spraying from. It may be my fault but we'll see on that I'm not going to just shove this off on bad lines just yet. don't want to ruin their reputation further until i know what it is. If it is GTM's fault I'll have to deal with it and bust out the phone and give sam a call but let's just wait and see.

I can't find any reason for the line to have come out both lines have a ton of slack, and the picture shows the swaybar as high up as it goes as the suspension is fully unloaded and it's close but it doesn't even touch the lines. Also the inside of the hose is totally smooth and doesn't show hardly any signs of having a single barb pressed into it. It isn't torn up at all but i'll tell you this the ID of the line looks much bigger than the barb fitting(i know it may have expanded but seriously it looks like the joint was barely held together at all).

i just hope my engine isn't damaged there may have been 2 minutes there when i costed into a parking lot where it was running after the line blew then i shut it off as soon as i got in the lot and called the tow. there can't have been much of any pressure in the oil system, i'm hoping i was saved by my oil being cold enough that the cooler was in bypass so there is a chance some oil was still going to the bearings.

I definitely think this car needs a cooler, at least my car, I could never drive spiritedly during the summer without one. It sucks.

Yikes. That looks exactly like the other GTM cooler failure we've seen.
