When the belt broke, the water pump stopped circulating the coolant, so your truck overheated. The coolant expanded because of the heat, and the opressure increased, so the coolant should have escaped through the releif valve built into the coolant reservoir.
: I was driving into work when I looked at the
: dash of my 93 RR County LWB. My temps were
: pegged and I stopped the car immediately.
: After I got out, the radiator fluid was
: leaking. Further inspection revealed that
: the belt from the fan/radiator pump/ac pump
: was severed. My question: will the radiator
: overheat to a point where it will utilize a
: relief valve? I'm trying to determine if my
: radiator is shot prior to replacing the
: belts.
