truck wont start hose came off radiator and all fluid leaked out had to be towed?

Question

driving down the highway I smell antifreeze, next thing I know the truck is kinda chuggin along as I pull to the side I looked at engine and saw that one of the radiator hoses had come off and all fluid had leaked out, so I had it towed home filled it back up but now it wont start and it dont sound normal when I try to start it sounds like its lost all power to start and makes half an attemp to any suggestions?

Answer 1

Sounds like the motor seized due to the massive overheat by running out of coolant.

Tow it to the shop and see if they can do anything, but it may be toast.

Answer 2

dats nasty lol ok if ur fluid r brown n u already were given each and each and every of the hoses replaced u also needs to replace the thermostat and water pum n radiator n positioned new fluid into it it may make a way extra perfect replace u can sense at the same time as u rigidity dont ad radiator purifier or **** like that ill pop ur hoses because it eats the rubber in severe warmth trust me i kno i went threw each and each and every of the hoses a million by one million lol yet seing how its a 89 suburban it as a lot as u guy i kno time r puzzling yet when u nonetheless imagine it good then restore it if no longer attempt craiglist it n promote it

Answer 3

Need more information but I would guess you have a busted head gasket , thats why the hose pressurised too much and blew off , this would also account for strange noise and lack of compression to start

Answer 4

Mine did that, and started working again when I did a wet compression test. It was just sticky valves that the oil freed up. But blown head gaskets and cracked heads are more common.

Answer 5

The engine may have over heated and warped or seized

Answer 6

you probably got the ignition all wet.dry off the plug wires and coil pack or distributer cap.take the cap off and dry it out inside.
