3208 block heater - webdarn - 05-27-2007 13:16
Last week we made a 600 mile round trip in the Bird and had no
problems except paying for the fuel! Yesterday, I noticed a hissing
sound and found my wife had hit the block heater switch with her foot
and the thing had been on for six days. I noticed an antifreeze drip
from the motor. As soon as I turned off the heater, the drip stopped,
but I had lost a gallon or so of coolant. I can't see where the
heater is mounted without removing the big tow hook mount.
The motor was really warm, over 185 degrees. Does this thing have a
relief valve or anything? Is this a leak that will reappear while
driving?

Might have to tighten some hose clamps. Doubt if you have any serious issues.
