Hey all,
I am Nicole.
I just bought a '95 7.3L today. Literally on the way home the hose that goes from the radiator with the coolant came off from the bottom and all the coolant came out on the driveway. I am not sure when it happened, I drove 30 minutes from place of purchase. It still leaked a lot when I got it home so I don't think that it was off the whole drive. I put it back on and tightened the hose but have not put coolant in yet.
I was told that this could have caused a serious problem and things could have warped. Am I in serious trouble here or is it going to be okay? I am going to troubleshoot tomorrow AM but I don't think I'll be able to sleep until then. :/
I've been looking for many years for the truck I purchased today and if I messed it up on the first day I am going to be livid!!
Thanks in advance for any advice. I appreciate it!
