2 Water Pump problem of the 2004 Chevrolet 1500

Failure Date: 06/20/2012

Noticed coolant level would get low. Found water pump mounting gasket leaking, replaced water pump and gaskets, but continued lossing coolant. Found out there is a know defect with chevy 4. 8 and 5. 3 vortex engine heads cracking around the mounting bolt holes. Chevy issued a TSB but will not warranty a know defect. It strange they will cover a hvac blower motor issue that is know but not a known problem with heads cracking without any fault of the owner.
