Dumbest mistake ever.

well i though this was something I would not do but it has happend.
I parked the crew cab out side for the last few weeks because we are rebuilding the shop.

when we moved shop back in august, we just filled it with water because the upper cooling hose was bad and i cut it and put a metal tube in so it had some cooling when driving the 4 miles to it new home.
all good, now we comletely forgot about it, and last week it had been freezing -18C.

we all know what happens to water bellow zero degrese

the rad and hoses are frosen but can be depresed some.

Im thinking removing the Rad cap so the water can escape when it warms up in the weather. Im running without thermostat because i got the wrong one.

If the 6.2 aint making it, it will get a 454.

A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.
