Start motor w/out coolant?
I am going to be pulling my radiator tomorrow to take it to get fixed.
The problem is i then have to move the Jeep out of the shop until I get the radiator back. I have to move the jeep about 30 yds, would it be ok to drive the Jeep this far with out any coolant and the radiator removed? -- o_o_o_o /| ,[_____], |ŻŻŻL --O|||||||O- ()_)Ż()_) ŻŻŻŻŻ )_) |
Re: Start motor w/out coolant?
No one can say 'for sure', but if it was mine I likely would go for it.

Re: Start motor w/out coolant?
Just watch the temperature (probably won't budge within 30 yards though).
