Yes, I know, its not a GM.
2000 Tacoma
3.4L
On the way to work this morning and my cab fills with steam. Figured I busted a hose. Nope. Top tank on radiator has a 6" long crack and is spewing steam everywhere. Fuck. Call my boss (who is an ex mechanic and a billionaire). He says limp it to our shop which is about 2 miles away. Get halfway there and motor makes a horrid sound then cuts off by itself. Temp gauge is maxed out. Check engine light is flashing. Steam is still only coming from the cracked radiator.
How fucked am I? Did the motor die or cut itself off to prevent damage?
