drove my truck today, first time in a while (besides trips less than 1 mile, a few in the last couple months). get home from work, get out, WTF is that smell? something smells like burnt plastic. pop the hood, on the drivers side (didnt look at passenger side, but who knows), theres coolant everywhere. i had stopped at my brothers on the way home, and didn't smell anything, nor did i at work this morning or when i got back from lunch, so i doubt it has been like this long
so im trying to see if this is going to be a PITA to replace or if its something i can attempt myself? i have other transportation, so its not like its something that needs to be fixed tomorrow or even this month, but obviously i dont want it to be sitting until next summer, and dont want to be working on it when its 20 degrees out. any special tools needed? ive got basic socket/wrench sets, some other tools. anything else i should replace while im doing that? hoses/etc?
TIA
