Driving home yesterday from Dinner, I pulled into the street and accelerated into traffic at a normal rate. Drive quite calmly to in the interest of Fuel Economy and age. When accelerating I heard a noise that sounded like a wet belt slipping under the hood. Noise went away quickly but a sweet smell started up. Wow did I bust a radiator hose or something? Well being a few blocks from the house and no smoke, steam, or percievable changes I kept going home. Just about a block from the house the temo gauge shot up and steam started pouring out the side of the hood. Pulled into driveway and opened hood to find the hose from the heater core to the t-stat housing had slipped off!!!!!!!. Driveway was soaked in AF and engine was covered in it to. Waited till this morning to allow it to cool for a washing and refill.
Has this happened to anyone else? The wife and I were just talking about going to Vegas so glas this happened here and not in the middle of BFE!!
