I was going back and fourth through town, and when at my destination, and upon turning off the engine, I heard a great deal of hissing and steam was just billowing out under the hood for at least 4-5 mins. Luckily my end point destination was my Grandma and Grandpa's place, and he just happens to be a certified welder/mechanic.
NE ways, we went to town in his truck to Autozone to get a part to fix it. It was a thick piece of rubber between two plates and a nut-bolt through the middle. When the nut is tightened, the rubber expands and holds in place. (srry, I cannot remember what its called though... lol)
I want to know if this will be reliable enough to keep, or if its just temp? I usually don't go against his judgment, but I just had to ask this time.... I just don't wanna get stuck on the interstate with a debunked engine...
