ok im driving down the street maybe i didnt notice it over heat but all of a sudden my hood starts smoking car shuts off and im stranded....i look in the hood and see radiator coolant EVERYWHERE in my engine and especially on the front end all over the grill and bumper

i just had her at the mechanic a few days ago and they put a new radiator cap on it......oh and ever since i had the truck shes had nasty like rusty coolant water that ive tried to flush and flush but it just stays all nasty

thanks a lot for reading

any help on what parts to get and how to check and see if my radiator blew up would be very helpful

Now that it is cool, look for what blew. It could be a hose.

The fact that the water is rusty, Which is probably from the eng. block, The radiator could be plugged up, and need rodding out or replacement. Your mechanic should be able to diagnose and cure your problems.

OK, I'm over it. Where's the beer?

so if i just get a new radiator and put it in and drain and flush and all that to it will the rusty water be gone

I'm not a mechanic professionally, but I would think that would do it. You would probably want to install a new thermostat at the same time.

It will cost around 40 to 60 bucks to get it rodded out 120 for new core or 150 for a new one. been there done that. now u should be able to fidn one on here i believe from a old one in good shape for around 20 plus shipping i believe i saw in classified section.

yah i wanted to stay away from the 150 for sure

im talking to the guy with the 20 dollar ones

thanks a lot people
