Well... I did it twice ( ) on my old ferd years ago. First time I was in the cab starting it up. The second was more fun... I was on the bumper leaning into the engine compartment and pushed down on the hose with my chest--someone should have taken a video of how fast I unloaded from the truck!

 

[tlgdiesel]

I done it. I cant do it anymore though cause I eliminated that tube and got a valve cover with the fill in it.

 

[T-Bone]

Been there done that too!



I feel sooo much better getting that off my chest! lol

I came a little to close to getting my drop light cord in the fan the other night

So you wrap your radiator hose around the fan blade, then start your motor Why? :-laf

It is much more efficient at circulating the coolant...

 

[flyairam]

Boy, that's funny! All this time I thought I was the only one dense enough to do that! Only once, though.



RAH out.

It only takes 15 miles to wear a hole in the hose if you do not hear it in the fan. Yes I did it. There I admit it.

Hello my name is Casey I am a Cumminsholic.

Don't feel bad, the Dodge dealer in Key West did the same to mine except mine had a hole in it and I lost the coolant. No, they didn't mke it right by fixing it.

 

[biggy238]

Twice... threaded protector has saved me both times... .

 

[DMC]

I did the same darn thing. I might have been pulling the overflow valve. Or was it on a valve adjustment procedure? I'll have to look under the hood to refresh my memory.



But I am guilty, Thank God it didn't wear all the way through though.

 

[DRadzierez]

Yep did that on the way to houston this year. Tow truck broke a fuel return line,and we stopped and fixed in the auto parts store parking lot. Only differance is I get back on the highway (no noise) and get a few miles down the road and look down and see the temp gauge just about pinned. Thank god I watch my gauges.
