Radiator exploded

[96firephoenix]

Wife was driving, said it overheated in stop and go traffic, and she heard a pop and then plumes of steam.

Me, thinking it was simply the overpressure cap giving out, brought 2 jugs of coolant to her rescue, to find the plastic side tank in multiple pieces.

All told, I think the electric fan experiment has been a complete failure. I'll be switching back to clutch fan at the same time I get the radiator.

Hopefully you didn’t warp or crack the heads overheating it that bad.

yea, that's the hope... it's a reman engine with only like 20k miles on it. and of course overheat damage is not covered by the warranty.
