Well
On post, pulling up a drive way the other day, the dip was deeper than my car on D2 Springs could handle.
Hit metal, car stopped ( i was going really slow at an angle )

Backed up, had to go allll the wayy around post just to get into this little parking lot, not too big of a deal
Well a day later i get a warning on the DIC that says "Low coolant"
Awesome. Look under the car, yup. It's leaking. Made it to our local shop and threw it on a lift to find the source of the leak.

Time to replace the radiator?
Fortunately they're only $70

I refilled the coolant to get home on which worked just fine, and I bought some stop leak to hopefully deter the problem a little longer until it's payday.
What do you think cobaltss.net

Should i file a claim with the army because their roads are so fucked up?
:p

Or is there an easier solution..

Thanks in advanced.

 

You see the hole? Is it small? Jb weld

 

JB weld or maybe try and solder the hole. Or buy a new radiator.

 

It's under neath the bracket. I would have to pull the entire radiator out to get to it. LOL
Or maybe i can bend it out and try the JB weld.
I've never used that stuff before.

To get the JB Weld to work, I would have to flush the entire system dry right?

 

Yes just take rad out, dry it, jb weld it and let dry.
Then put It back on car.

 

Or flush it and do it on the car. But If you take it out you can test it with water afterwards, to see If it's working and not leaking.

 

Thanks for the input.
How permanent of a job, depending on the quality of the JB Weld maybee with soldering, do you think it will be?

If i can save almost a hundred bucks I will.

 

Jb weld is strong ****. I used it on mine a few years ago after a leak and still good.
It's cheap but really an great product

 

You mentioned your car was on D2 springs. These cars sit kinda low from the factory so they may try to give you **** about that. If you have factory suspension, then you should have a descent case. But if you have after market suspension, espessly if your lowered then I could see the army say its your fault for being too low.

 

Yeah, more than likely. It's worth a shot to get the cost of a new radiator and labor paid back..
If the jb weld doesn't work right, that is.
:p
The worst they can say is no.

THere are corvettes that sit lower than my car on factory suspension, so that's kind of bs.
