We picked up a 94 conversion van 2 years ago so my wife and kid could travel during the summer. Since we got it tho, it has been my daily driver and has not let me down once until yesterday.
The cooling system is brown, I've flushed it a few times but still, it is brown so I knew something was going to let go and on my way home from work, it did.
Off the radiator, there is a heater control valve. 2 lines in, 2 lines out. Two of the lines go into a T (2 into 1)off the pass side subframe that feeds the rear heater core.
One of the inlines was terribly corroded and finally gave way to puking water everywhere. I do not have time to replace the whole line. I do not have time to look for a new "T" to splice in so I had to do a farm repair. I went and picked up some JB Weld Steel Stick. I plugged the hole and kind of reinforced the hole tube with the putty. It dries quick and cures in 8 hours. When I get home tonight I will put it all back together and hope to hell it holds. I'll let you know what happens because I think this stuff could be a pretty useful product if it works like it says it does.
I'll take a pic or two of the van a little later....
