I guess if you are going to screw up might as well do it with style.

Re: Boat Ramp Blooper
Homie can carry two boats.
Here's another ramp blooper for you. Friend today told me he pulled his surf boat out last weekend, has a 6.2L GM. Did it himself, dropped the truck off at the ramp and got a ride back home to get the boat. Couldn't get it on, hopped out to back the truck up, tried again, etc and eventually got it on. Drove home and saw steam coming out the exhaust. Yep, forgot to shut it off. Less than a 10 minute ride, I told him it's probably fine but if it still had warranty on it to take it back out and run the shit out if it. He said it was reading 220 and I said that's not really hot, but the sensor wasn't touching water so who knows for sure.

Re: Boat Ramp Blooper
I would expect that thing has a closed loop cooling system so if so that would explain the temperature, even though the heat exchanger wasn't getting fresh water through it at least the engine had coolant circulating, would imagine thats what saved him.

Re: Boat Ramp Blooper
WOW,.... that video was both funny and incredible at the same time.. I would have liked to have seen how they got the boat off the jeep.

Re: Boat Ramp Blooper
I don't know anything about them and that's what I asked him too, if it was closed cooling. He didn't know but did think that when the dealership winterized it last they drained it. I told him well the block holds some water either way on an LS type engine if everything is off it but the plugs aren't pulled. Do they just use anticorrosion in them with no antifreeze? Wouldn't make sense to me to drain it otherwise unless it's just the exchanger that gets drained.
Got a coworker that spends a lot of time over at a local rod shop that specializes in Mustangs and buys a lot of wrecked ones. He said they come in with the front end tore off and they'll let them run until they start steaming while they're checking them out and haven't ruined one.
