I think the shop repairing blown hose created to much vacuum to suck antifreeze back into system and cracked the seem weld but can’t prove it and not worth pursuing.

Thanks.

Yes vacuum can damage things not made to withstand it. Glad you made it back to get repaired, hopefully without using any epoxy products . They can real bugger to re-weld after especially aluminium.

As of 11/11/2021, Source Engineering has the aluminum replacement for the original plastic surge tank in my 2005 Safari Cheetah, which I understand would be the same as Monaco Windsor and Diplomat, but I don't know if other Monacos of the early 2000s would be the same. Jim Walls at 458-207-9442 is very knowledgeable and helpful.
