:roll: I knew it was hot so i just opened the hood and to let it cool off, the engine was off and about 20 minutes later BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It sounded Like a car accident, I was in the car with some friends listening to the radio, and as soon as i turned on the wipers to clean the winshield thats when it happend. I thought it was the battery or soemthing, i just sae a bunch of white smoke and told everyone to get out the car. it was smoking for about 30 minutes. After the smoke cleared i saw the part that holds the radiator hose to the engine torn apart from the radiator. you can see inside the side of the radiator, so the whole thing has to be replaced, and the hose.
How much does a junk yard radiator usally cost? And how hard is it to take the radiator off.
I guess the T.stat was messed up or something. The fan is worn so i think that needs to be replaced also.
