We get about half way there and hear a loud bang and the car dies. We then notice a large puddle of fluid pouring out of the bottom of the car. So we push the car off of Hwy 31 and pop the hood and find this.

His radiator blew up. Car was not over heating. Only thing I can figure is a defective radiator( raidiator only 2 or 3 yrs old) or a blocked passage in the block that caused to much pressure. Any thoughts?
