Smile Thanx

I greatly appreciate all the well wishing all of you are throwing out. Yes I have pics of the burn sights but I won't post them, they are too disturbing. Yes, I needed skin graphs and the doctors decided that I wasn't in enough pain already and chose the donor sights as my lower hips so sitting down is a trying experience. I find it disturbing that one of you saw cracks forming on your radiator in the same pattern where mine failed explosively. And finally to the one that didn't pop his hood when your car was overheating, good move! I now have a great appreciation for the pressures involved with cooling system.

Very sorry to hear.
Wish you the best on recovery.
I'm always bothered when having to top off my 4x4(slow leak) every other season. I'll be taking extra measures due to this unfortunate event.
again, wish you the best, flipping scary man.

I was going to sell my spare radiator to a local guy, but after hearing this I am just going to toss out of respect to your case. no one should ever have to go through that, and I wish you a speedy recovery.

Holy smokes! Heal up...

Boy, these SC's are high maintenance. They get a temper every now and then, too.
