Oh it's a temperature sensitive VSV? Take yours off and gimme a pic of the bung

 

Not at the shop. But the whole plastic part is gone on mine. Its just the thread part that goes in right next to the thermostat. It opens based of the coolant temp

 

As long as the threads are the same and it matches the original for either normally open or normally closed then it should be fine. Why can't you find the original part number?

 

I don’t mind the new Ridgeline. Once they got rid of that god awful bed swoop it actually looks like a half decent truck now.

 

I been looking. A van guy i asked gave me that part above. But is says for like tons of different cars.

 

I don’t have enough supply, plus I’ve got the market cornered on here. I have competition on eBay.

I can barely keep up with TW, can’t even think of doing it on eBay too.

 

I can't get over the weird looking front still.

 

It could be, it's a really crude way of opening the EGR, actually seems like a bad idea cause you don't want it open under heavy acceleration or idle. Temp just kinda opens it whenever it's warm, is there another VSV in there or is that it? If the van guy gave you that and the colors are the same it's probably close enough

 

100x better than the original design with that horrible horrible bed swoop.

The Cadillac Escalade has the same thing.

 

No class or work on Wednesday, woot for Utah Holidays

 

it just looks like they were starting to design a crossover or van and then were like "oh shit that's right, we're doing a truck" and finished it off with a bed.

But yeah it was worse with the old bed design.

 

Lol, more like Avalanche, the Escalade copy was the dumbest vehicle cause it didn't even offer the nicer caddy LS or 4L80

 

Well it is a FWD truck haha, or AWD (sorta cause the AWD is load based)

 

This is the whole egr system

 

It’s like what Toyota does with the 4Runner and Tacoma. The Odyssey and Ridgeline are almost the same.

 

A FWD truck, WTF? I didn’t know it was FWD. How stupid is that?

 

Exactly, lol

I think the old Ridgelines were 4x4 though right? Coulda sworn I've seen older ones that have a "4x4" badge instead of an 'AWD' one

 

The Ridgeline and Pilot are almost the same, the Odyssey is quite different

 

Just further proof it's a truck for people that want the look of one but not the ride or other qualities.

 

I don’t mind the aesthetic of the Avalanche. Cadillac has no business making a truck.

Cadillac has no business making fast economy cars either, but that’s an argument for another day.
