Overheating
Okay last night I was coming back from the grocery store and then I got to my house and noticed smoke or steam coming from my hood. I looked at the temperature gauge and it was overheating. Well the smoke turned out to be coolant. Apparently my hose fell off my radiator which I don't know how that is possible unless the clamp wasn't tightened... So today I filled the coolant reservoir and started it back up but then it started to overheat again. Could it be my thermostat or is it that I just lost pressure in my cooling system that is making it still overheat?

Re: Overheating
I'd replace the t-stat. It's only like $18, the hose may have popped off it the t-stat was stuck closed and it overheated and caused too much pressure.

Re: Overheating
If the radiator hose came off, and you drove long enough, you could have warped your heads, I hope not cuz that would be costly. Take off the therm as Igo stated, and drive around without one, and see if the car is overheating, if it continues, pop of the coolant top, have someone start the car, and check if there are bubles, or a raise in coolant, if so, you're gonna need major repairs.

Re: Overheating
Well I decided to just take it into a shop and apparently my radiator is just so dirty it clogged up (I got it flushed recently, but apparently it couldn't be fixed). So I just have to order a new radiator... Anyway where is a good place to order radiators for a reasonable price? Thanks for the help I really appreciate it.
