Radiator steam/overheating help *Pictures

my diagnosis is you got a big ass hole in the plastic sidetank of your radiator.......

Your a very astute man Mr. Mark.

It's not the right stuff. The G-05 (HOAT) is much better and doesn't have the problems of DexCool? (OAT) or traditional antifreezes. There were a lot of lessons learned over the last few years with antifreeze (DexCool is an example of what *not* to do). Frod and GM wisely bypassed DexCool/OAT type and had Zerex develop G-05 from the lessons learned. It has proven to be excellent.

In way too much of a hurry. "Ford and Chrysler wisely...".

Time for a new radiator.

Probably the fact that a whole lot of aftermarket radiators are made in China these days.

I'd at least check to see if there is an all-metal aftermarket radiator available for that application- I've never liked plastic end-tanks, although (knock wood) my wife's car has almost 250k miles on its plastic radiator without any trouble... yet. :-/

Replacing a car over a RADIATOR?

Uh, that's kinda false economy, I think. Sorta like buying a new house because the downstairs faucet drips.....

Its not compatible with materials in your cooling systems and may cause excessive (and rapid) corrosion. Hell, even GM and Toyota have had horrible problems with it in their vehicles that are supposedly compatible.

I'm sure you meant to say "Frod and CHRYSLER...." :-)

And Mercedes, and Caterpillar, and Deere..... among others who use G-05 in some or all applications.

Some people have "fixed" plastic radiator tanks with JB Weld.
