Driving home my new Tacoma, I had my dad follow me just in case. Good thing.

About 1/4 of the way home, I notice there sure is alot of steam coming out the exhaust....hmm...it's cold, so whatever. The temp gauge reads fine, so I keep going. I stop at a red light, and notice my phone is ringing. Go to pick it up, and hear my dad knock on the window.

" The truck is smokin you idiot!"

Look up, and the hood is smokin like a madman. I pulled into a parking lot, and popped the hood. Yep, the damn radiator has a hole in it. SHIIT.

Limped it our shop by coasting and shutting it off. Hope the damn heads aren't warped. I'll check it out tomorrow.

 

New, or new to you. I gota guess the latter.

Edit: you have a 96'.

 

was the steam actually coming from the exhaust or did it just look like it was, because if it was, you have probably blown one or both head gaskets/cracked head/block, and may have done some other damage to it from extremely overheating it, good luck
