She heard a loud bang
 
Uh oh. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4d20853286.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...74209be4c4.jpg

The radiator looks good, but the expansion tank has a hole in it.

Did the hood survive?

I’m still waiting on the interstate for the tow truck, so I haven’t taken a real close look, but I think so.

Feeling for you brother. Keep us updated.

Here's hoping for the best. Looks like it may not be to bad considering all things it could do.

Chip19 03-20-2018 06:36 PM

There are a couple of dents in the hood. One broke the paint.

Crowz 03-20-2018 06:48 PM

Damn. Hate to hear that.

Let us know what snapped as it looks like the fan blades came apart but were they the cause or was it the waterpump, or, or?
Mileage on all the parts too as many have posted that these all fail big time at 80-140K

Good luck and hopefully it was a failed belt.

The worst part is the whine I hearing now. “I WANT A NEW CAR!”

- You are lucky the engine didn't overheat.

- The most common cause is the WP failure: bearing loose ---> wobbling fan clutch ---> blades broken off.

- You probably have > 150K miles.

- I wrote a cooling overhaul in forum, you can search for it...
