Former ZR2 owner here, I had an '00 pickup new in the lighter blue color with a 5spd manual. Absolutely loved that truck and wish I had never gotten rid of it! Incredibly capable and underrated for sure.

Looking forward to the pictures!

My wife and I slept in the back of my DII camping once, length wise it wasnt bad but def too narrow for two people. This was with the rear seats fully removied. Its for sale btw... :)

Something is potentially in the works...

Sucess!! Installed the new plate/gasket/bolts this afternoon and so far so good!

Me too. I really hope this was the cause of it.

Parts get here tomorrow

Well heres to hoping I found the problem, pulled the TB heater plate off today and it has definitely been leaking. The entire valve cover is wet as well making me think the "leak" I saw near the firewall valve cover area was actually just coolant making its way across and down the valve cover...

I think I am going to bypass the TB heater plate temporarily tonight to see if that stops the leak.

Yeah we pressure tested it last night and it was def leaking from the throttle body heater plate a bit, but the amount coming out made him think it was something else as well. So either way it needs the TB gasket, which I just ordered the kit from AB. If that doesn't fix it totally then I'll dig...

Nice work! Heater cores can be a pain, I had do replace one in my C4 vette and it was a nightmare

Haven't checked it, though the leak seems further back towards the firewall than the radiator hoses...

Thanks for the info, I am going to replace the throttle body heater first since it is visably gunked up, and then go from there. The leak is def coming from up high somewhere.

Appears to be an intake manifold. Going to start tearing it down this weekend. How hard of a job is this?

Yeah I am thinking that may be it as well, it is all gunky looking...

Awesome :) Welcome aboard

Driving home yesterday I thought I smelled a bit of coolant, it was nice out so I had the windowns down. Temp gauge never flickered so I didn't think much of it, well when I got home and parked the truck the smell was really strong, took a step back and it was pouring coolant onto the driveway...
