You drove it home for 20 miles without water? The water never overheated as there was nothing there to register on the guage! Engines probably a paperweight now! | |

quote: not really,the higest my temp has ever been was at 100 but that was because my fans on a switch and not automatic..... that was also due to the pipe coming off my header tank so it lost water 1 thing i love about them is i got it home with no water and it didnt even overheat 8v's are the future lol | |
