[QUOTE="MikeDSVT, post: 4449825, member: 7234"] Well not really..... I thought for sure yesterday was the day. I lef the house on the way to work and had to follow a damn dump truck at 10mph up a hill for 2 miles and then he continued to take the same route i needed to go on. He got onto the same highway I needed to. And by this point i was pissed. I saw an opening in the high spped lane as I got onto the highway and matted it. SC was whining and all of a sudden i heard a POOF. Looking in my rearview i see a smoke screen of white smoke and think the worst. Temp is normal, oil pressure good. I coast it down hill and through a straigth away for 1 mile to get to the next exit. And it smells liek coolant, I wheel it into a parking lot and pop the hood, walk around to see coolant pouring out of the thing and a trail into the parking lot. I look under the hood and the WHOLE left side is saoked in coolant. I sh*t myself and think please tell me i did not lift the head. The oil is clean.....coolant is clean as can be. I poke around and find a hose had BURST into pieces. The left rear coolant hose from the block to the heater core burst liek i have never seen. Same hose that had a loose clamp before and leaked onto my coils. I had replaced the clamp about a year ago. $30 hose because it has a restrictor and no ford dealer in all of new england has one. Better outcome than what I thought it was going to be at the time. :pepper: [/QUOTE]
