So this one has 120 miles on it now.
And we were in stop and go traffic and suddenly Steam starts shooting out of the hood area. I look down and the temp is pegged. DAMNIT!!!!!!
I pull over and air is just furiously bubbling through the overflow tank, the top radiator hose is ready to burst and water is boiling off the block.
Then I remember I didnt hook up the fans.
Hook them up and so far now all is fine. yikes what a scare!
