Default misfortune

ok guys all i know as of right know if i didnt have bad luck, i wouldnt have any luck at all. friday night i was pulling the pass with the camper when my fan decided to let go and go threw my radiator at 75mph. didnt do as much damage as i thought. drove it the last 15 miles to camp and parked it for the night with only 1 gallon of water in the entire cooling system. drove another 60 miles the next day to walmart for solder. we pulled the radiator, soldered it up and reinstalled it at camp. the fan cut threw the first core and cut threw 16 tubes. ordered a new radiator tonight and its 195 delivered. now i need a new fan and clutch
