so
I have a crack in the passenger side radiator tank. just like most others have gotten.
and I have wondered if this happens because of the body lift raising the radiator and the fluid wanting to be at level with the motor.
now I know you can lower the rad. some in the body on some model explorers.
but
I brought home a plastic welding from work and I was wondering if or what type of plastic is the tanks made out of?
I have some PVC rod which can be used to weld PVC and ABS plastic.
so
I figured I would try this and see if I can repair it. if not, I just have to get a new one and put it in.
planning on that anyway! but if I can do this and save some $$ why not?
any input on this project??
