I'll be there . . . but my Dasher won't. :cry:
Yesterday I went to Kyle's to help him and Fred pick up the old dealership sign. I made to Ringgold with no problems . . . but before I got out of Ringgold, it was getting hot. I pulled over and let it cool off. The radiator was empty but I coudn't find any sign of leak. I poured some water in it, and took off . . . it spit and sputtered and smoked like crazy for about a quarter of a mile, then cleared up and ran fine. About a mile from Kyle's place, it started getting hot again. Stopped, poured water in it, went on to Kyle's . . . again, it spit and sputtered and smoked for about a quarter of mile then cleared up.
On the way home, I had to stop and add water at least 5 times. I left Kyle's place with a full radiator and 2 gallons of water. I got home with no water in the jugs or the raditor.
I'm hoping it's "just" a blown head gasket and I might be able to someday put it back on the road . . . or maybe I'll fill it full of stop leak and see what happens . . . or maybe I'll fill it with up with water and drive it Joe's Recyclling and end it's suffering. Either way, I can't complain. It's been the best $300 car I've ever bought!
