:?: Radiator drainage petcock :?: :!: :?: ..................Has Anyone EVER had one just....... blowout for no reason? :cry: Mine just did @ 3 o'clock this morning on the way home with about 2.5 miles left on an Everyday, 10 mile round trip after dropping off my girlfriend to work. Radiator & fan was replaced about 3 years ago & never leaked! (Even B-4 replacing them). I found a replacement petcock online for about 3 bucks & the shipping's gonna kill me. :x Totals out to $13.43 ouch. (I'm in the wrong line of work :roll: )

Never heard of one blowing out. :shock: Is your radiator cap working properly? It seems to me that alot of pressure would have had to build up in the radiator to be able to blow the petcock off. If that much pressure did build up, your radiator cap should have opened to release the pressure. Just my :2cents:
