    Some of ya'll know I just bought me a 1990 5.0 mustang. Well my radiator just sprung a leak on the bottom. Have any of ya'll used the "radiator stop leak"??? or just JB welded one up?

    :eek:

    Nope....

    I've seen someone drop an egg (raw) in the radiator as a trail repair. Worked amazingly well to hold the fluids and get the rig back to the parking lot.

    Honestly??

    I would avoid using that stuff unless you're strapped for cash and can't afford to buy a new radiator and have it installed. Most radiators are easy to replace.... depending on the vehicle.

    First month of ownership... This month I'm removing front air dam, and also Rhino lining the bed.
    I've used JB Weld. Works great. Will last for awhile until you can get it replaced.
