The lame -o that ran u off probably talks with his mouth full.

Anyway,my bet is that your engine is OK.Cool weather,not too terribly hot on the gauge and short distance running low on coolant.Our Box's have at least 2 rads,3 if your is an "S". The existing rad/s just did extra duty.

I hate this for you Box.Good luck.

Hopefully the AC Radiator made it unscathed. Here's a video on how to remove the front bumper cover, it's for a 996 but same procedure:

If you get lucky and the coolant radiator is all that needs replacing, try Sunset Porsche since their prices for new OEM will likely be the best;

A picture of mine when I pulled the bumper to clean the radiators, this will give you an idea of whats in there:

Sorry to hear it Kenny! The dumba$$es were everywhere yesterday shopping and not paying any attention to driving. Fortunately my new TS Cat Back System was LOUD ENOUGH to keep them at bay.

You should O.K. since it WAS COLD and you did not go too far. There is quite a lot of fluid in our systems….did you drain it all?

Also, if you went off the road, check the underpinnings, you may have more stuff to do as a result. Maybe enough to file an insurance claim and get it properly repaired.

I don't think so. A Tip trans has the 3rd rad.
