I have 7.3l. its somewhere around 15 degrees and it all of the sudden started to overheat and then the radiator started leaking boiling water.... what are your thoughts...?
Or antifreeze thats not good enough. It has a tendency to freeze in the rad. as you drive down the road. The hot boiling water comes from the upper rad hose, and cannot flow through the rad.
yes thats how my gran pa ruined his flat head v8 that was in his 53 ford he didnt have enough antifreeze in it and it froze and busted going do the road, and it cracked the block
I just had this happen to me the other day with my 6.9. I thought it was awfully odd, and luckily, I was near a parts store. Knowing my antifreeze was up to *****, I took a shot at the old rad cap being worn. New 13lb cap, and hasn't happened again.
It's -6f here - I run 2/3's green prestone and 1/3 distilled with two bottles of fw16 - I had the overtemp light come on the other morning - pretty sure it was due to ridiculously cold temps. Had my reverse lights on for a while while in 1st gear too.
