FUCK MY LIFE.......
I had all these plans for a nice build, had everything but my box built and i get some bad news today SMH. I have had my blazer parked for a few montHs due to winter and my heat blower didnt work so i didnt want to drive it. i kept coolant in it the whole time and would start it time to time and run it and it never leaked. I started driving it yesterday because its warm now and my wife got promoted to a new position at work and is working diff hours right now, and i noticed that it was getting hot really fast yesterday. Today i came out and was just adding some water before wile it sat cold(it hadnt been started all day) to see what was going on. As soon as i started pouring in water i heard a terrible leak while pouring water in the radiator. It was leaking on the side, toward the back of the engine. Matter fact, **** it sounded like someone pouring a jug of water from under my blazer //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif, like as much as i poured in came right out. I would empty the full radiator within 30secs to 1 min, whether the truck was running or not. But i took it to my mechanic and he looked at it for a bit and got up under it and pointed out that the block is cracked, he said it sounds like it blew apart with how much water that its leaking. He said well go look for a new vehicle, you block is cracked. FUCK FUCK FUCK......
Sorry for the venting.....
