I got the water pump in my hearse replace the week before last. I was heading to a cruise in that was about an hour away, driving on the interstate and the water light came on. I pulled over as quick as I could. After She cooled down and I opened the radiator cap, I checked the fluid and I couldn't see it. I had checked it before I left so I know it was full. I put over two gallons of water and still could see anything. Got to a gas station and filled up the radiator with water and turned around and headed home with no problem. The next morning I went and checked and the radiator and the water level was just below the top. I didn't see any signs of a leak on the ground, She was parked on a dirt drive way. On the ride to the cruise in I had the vent turned on to auto, the a/c is broken so it just blows air and was driving about 70 mph. On the way back I turn the vent off and drove about 55-60mph. Any suggestions?

I would check that oil cap for sure--if it is foamy then you have a major problem with the antifreeze mixing with the oil which = expensive fix. If not, then it is within the cooling system itself probably. Then check for hose cracks, loose clamps, untight rad. cap, and hope it was just a air pocket in system.
I had a problem with one of mine similar to this when I did not secure the radiator cap on correctly.Last edited by JustGrim; 09-21-2010, 03:40 PM.
