Engine bay got an antifreeze bath
just coming home from the lumber yard and i smelt anti freeze, pull over and im leaking like a seive. man was i pissed, brand new 4 core and i thought it was shot, get home temp gauge is almost pinned, pop the hood and there is a 3 inch long gash in the hose from my condenser to the intake, the antifreeze was just honking out of it into the fan and the fan was spraying it everywhere...what a last couple weeks its been, at least this is a cheap fix unlike the others but man oh man..my mom thinks im crazy owning an old truck..

Don't be surprised if your v-belts start making a crackling noise in the near future. It seems when anti-freeze gets on the belts it sometimes creates a glaze and they make a alot of noise that won't go away without changing the belts.

Leaking antifreeze does suck....i remember walking out to my truck one day and seeing a huge coolant slick underneath it.....i was stupid and attempted the 4 mile trek home...and it made it w/o overheating

tonite i ran to an auto store, got a foot of 5/8's heater hose, get home and turns out it had too much of a kink for my liking, so i rip back down and get a piece with a 90* degree elbow, the straight chunk was a buck, the one i ended up using was 11 bucks cause of the elbow, what a scam!!! but im back goin again...waiting for something else to go wrong
