I wouldn't even look at it if it were a 3100 lol

Wiggling past that alt bracket will never be in any manual. Just don't pull a Drunkie and put the wrong bolt through the bracket into the valve cover. Ooopsie.

Dan.. YGPM

Was driving to school and t-stat sky rocketed to 210 then 3/4 hot and when I was stopped it started smoking so I went to the nearest advanced, took about 4 minutes, checked coolant, was absolutely empty, put some in, started it, let it run, cooled down to 205 or so, so I drove it and 5 seconds after driving it wet back up and started smoking and make a weird noise while on the gas, had the guy come out, poured some coolant into the radiator cap, and it shot back out and he says that's a clear sign of a blown head, smoke coming from behind engine....

It shot back out because it started boiling as he poured it in because it was so hot. You probably blew an elbow

I'm hearing all of these "probably's" my dads friend who was gm mechanic for 20+ years says it could be a heating hose

These:


And trust me, the "the guy who tole me is ase certified" or "been a technician for a long time" usually doesn't have any validation around here. These guys know more about the w body than most technicians out there. Many new people on the forum have brought their car into multiple shops for a common problem, and they were told it was something like a head gasket and to just scrap the car, when it was really intake manifold gaskets.

Heck..it seems like it heated up too fast. I'd think stuck thermostat at first, because you didn't say anything about being low on coolant to start. Stuck Tstat will blow the guts out of the car when you finally stopped since you didn't pull over and let it cool.

All seems pretty normal and no worries IMO. But then..from here everything looks fine

Well it's at the shop as we speak so we'll wait and see

I forsee a thermostat, coolant elbows and top off of coolant.

Pics of said damage

And it had taken 2 hours for the tow truck to get to my car so it cooled for a while, when I started it up to put it on the trailer, it all sounded perfect and like nothing was wrong..
