   MH>I didn't really notice anything on the road, but there was a puddle of the g   
   MH>under the truck where she pulled over.  It was running down the side of the   
   MH>motor, grill, bumper, underside of the hood, etc.  Smoke was also everywhere   
   MH>from it getting on the engine and exhaust manifold.   
      
   MH>She called me and was on the phone not soon after it happened.  She told me   
   MH>truck was smoking really bad and smelled.  I asked her what the temp gauge   
   MH>showed - and once she told me it was close to the red line, I just told her   
   MH>pull over when you can and park it and I'll meet you there.   
      
   MH>At that point, the upper hose must have already been snapped.   
      
   Boy do you have a "Guardian Angel" looking after you. That incident   
   could easily have turned into the Untimate Disaster that engine.   
      
   My wife has a similay incident while as she was driving the Freeway the   
   Water pump shaft broke. Fortunatly she noticed the pulley rolling   
   down the Freeway and knew something was wrong and pulled over.
