STEAM IS COMING OUT OF MY RADIATOR

not from the cap. it is as if there is a crack on one of the long sides and it is squeezing out to the ends

it is 80 degrees today and the engine temperature guage in the guage cluster reads normal temperature

i am in west chester (outside of philly) PA

i probably should not drive that car to the outerbanks tomorrow like i had planned should i?

does anyone know what is going on?

 

Those "long sides" are made of high temperature plastics, and if a leak occurs it would be cheaper to replace the radiator. This makes radiator repair nearly impossible if not expensive. There is a better than OEM radiator available for our trucks, here is a link to a page that shows stock vs new, http://www.s-10crewcab.com/og1/modinfo/rad/rad.htm.

When my radiator needs replace this is what I will buy...
