240zV8 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 We got 14" of snow yesterday in Bellingham and it got to about 18 degrees last night, and I left my truck outside because it was covered in snow otherwise i would have pulled it in the garage. So I start driving to go to my bank this morning and the temp goes up past 210 and keeps risiing and it never has before, so i pull over and it's bubbling out the coolant overflow tank so i had to pull over and let it cool down, then I drove home since it started overheating less than a mile after driving from my house... Do you think my water pump froze or what? because after i let it cool down it seemed to have defrosted somthing because it started flowing and cooling again after i re-filled the coolant. Anyone had that happen when it freezes out, because I haven't.. here's some pics, we only get a few days on snow in the low elevations, but the mountains get a ton.

SHO-Z Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 You do not have enough antifreeze in your truck. It is probably the radiator froze up. This happened to me 40 years ago in Big Bear Calif. I blew a radiator hose in my FJ40 and was able to fix it on the side of the road. Got some water out of a stream and refilled the system. The drove a couple of miles and the thing started to overheat and boil over. I added some more water to it and put a piece of cardboard in front of the radiator and made it home just fine. Drained the water when I got home and refilled with antifreeze and didn’t have another problem. Also sometimes when it gets real cold a thermostat will stick closed causing the same problem. Hope you are enjoying the snow in Bellingham, I used to live there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
