It was driving great right after it got tuned. If I can get it back to that it will be great. On a side note my wife has had enough of my spending! ! Hahaha

Got any pictures of the radiator busting? That's a new one. Over-pressurized or just old and junkie?

I havent even taken the radiator out. I was so pissed I just drove it in the garage and closed the door. I was ready to sell it so I just went inside. Hahaha!! It was a combination of things. I think there was air in the system and it caused the pressure to climb. Plus it came with the truck so it was an old junky too. Im picking up a new one tomorrow and hope thats the last of my problems. I also think the spark plug wire for cylinder 2 is bad. I changed the plugs and the plug looked wet like it was not firing. Im ready to go beat on this thing at the track!!
