What happens when you overheat your car

Hi out there! So, my truck is like new, i was driving and without warning the temp. guage started climing into red zone. I pulled over and waited for hours and when it was cooled, i naturally thought it must of needed water. I just checked all my fluids 3 days before and all was fine. So i put water in and started and began to drive home. Well within 5 mi it was pegging red and then the guage went down to zero. A couple miles later it stalled and i had to have a tow home. I opened the hood and noticed the hose from radiator to engine totaly was hanging. Water still in radiator, oil and trans fluid still shows full but yet theres oil leaking out from under somewhere, how did it get so hot so fast and where do i begin to troubleshoot? It turns over but wont engage.

 

How do you know the trans fluid was full?

 

Your radiator hose came off? The hose was “hanging”. Is that what thus means? Your hose came off?
Yikes.

 

Could be the 2.7L I4, which has a dip stick.

 

Yes it has dipstick

 

Well its coming out of radiator straight to engine block, but the whole fitting, not just the hose, but whatever piece they used to connect the hose was fully popped out. So the metal fitting is still clamped to the hose

 

The thermostat housing cane off?

last time my friend overheated his car, he warped the head. It was misery.

 

This drawing is best i can explain

 

Picture (photo) please.

 

Theres a fitting that is clamped to the hose and it popped out of the engine, so idk what hose thats called

 

Ok let me try brb

 

Ok

 

Heres a pic of the problem

 

Damn. That isn’t looking good. You dumped all your coolant.

 

The “oil” that was leaking out everywhere. Was it green or pink, and did it smell sweet? Was it the same color as the antifreeze in the radiator? That’s coolent.

 

Acually idk, i guess because i assumed it was water must have been low.so i filled it with water but it was dark and i did not notice the hose .. so i drove it and again overheated and stalled

 

I assumed it was oil but it doesnt look like,antifreeze

 

The hose fix looks like a force fit, discuss with a mechanic. You should have the cooling system flushed with the proper mix of antifreeze. The question/issue is, was there any damage done to the engine when it over heated.

 

Its probably fine if it wasn't ran too long overheated. 2.7 is iron block they take the heat better than aluminum. My last truck, ford with iron block 302 and aluminum heads, I overheated several times one time driving about 20 minutes with the needle pegged because the heater valve broke and that thing took it like a champ. I say fix the the clamp fill er up with coolant and keep on truckin.

 

Wonder how a hose like that becomes loose
