So I've been putting off changing the radiator for a bit now but we were leaving the Hoover Dam and coming out of the canyon the rig started to overheat and leak coolant from somewhere. We stopped at a gas station and let the everything cool down a bit. I threw the rest of the bars leak I had in the top of radiator after I let it cool down and could take the radiator cap off. When I started it back up and got it back to the campground the leaking had pretty much subsided. The stop leak could last a week or we could end up taking another rock or spring another leak in the middle of nowhere and I don't really want that headache. We're currently in Vegas and we're supposed to head towards the Grand Canyon from here tomorrow. I figured I'd reach out here before I started looking for somewhere to get the radiator changed. I know the aluminum radiator is the way to go but it's not in the budget for such an upgrade so a heavy rad it is. Any help would be great guys thank you all again.
