Just wondering if my radiator is F**KED! Bout a few days ago I noticed a smalll crack on the top of my radiator.On the way to school. Thats where I'm right now. My Raditor fluid went to half to nothing in about a 10 min trip. Theres now even a bigger crack thats leaking really fast. I put some water in for now but what could I do to repair it I got to go Pce out

there is a quick fix. go to wal-mart or that sort of place and get either QuickSteel of JB Weld. i like the QuickSteel better as it's like clay. you kneed it together, put over crack, and let harden.
www.radiatorbarn.com has brand new cheap radiators. i got mine from them and have been happy. check with them when you plan to buy a new one.

Try to stray away from quick fix's if you can though.

remember that quick fix isnt a quick way to solve the problem, its a way to fix it quickly SO YOU HAVE TIME TO FIX IT CORRECTLY

whoa...that is what i said. quick fix. and then i suggested a new rad. from somewhere that is approx $85 shipped. which is pretty hard to beat for it being brand new.
i used quick steel for a week before my new rad. got to me. i had a mean crack. it worked like a charm. no leaks, no overheating
