Cooling
« on: January 29, 2018, 02:59:24 PM »
Cant find a spot for this item, the 78 was parked outside last night, -10, couple of antifreeze spots on ground dripping from front shackle mounts, don't seem to be any hoses leaking. I had installed a new radiator, aluminum core with plastic side tanks. Could the cold be shrining the aluminum enough to lead at the seams? Did not leak in the heated shop for a week prior. thoughts?

Both sides, the tray/cradle it sits in is wet.

As long as you have coolant in it, recheck the hose clamps.

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

Don't forget the water pump.
