It is well to try and journey ones road and to fight with the air.Man must die! At worst he can die a little sooner." (H Ryder Haggard)
Before you replace the rad I would make sure the engine isn't already pooched.
Did you shut it down when you noticed it hot or did it get super hot and stall?
Is Justin Competent, or just incompetent?
Use needle nose to squeeze off and bend the tubes over either side of the gash in the rad, fill with water and drive.

snow was a melting real good yesterday
I'm going to guess that a stick kicked up from underneath a tire and was sent into the rad. Good ideas and questions by others. Did it stall from overheating? Bring a tarp, start a fire, and finally, search the net to see if there are any videos showing how to do it, and what tools and supplies you will need. No sense in filling the thing with water, and needing to drain and fill with anti-freeze later.
The measure of a man is not how much power he has, it's how he wields it.
if its a hole in the rad and not to big
put 12 raw eggs in the rad as the cook they will plug the hole
amount of eggs depends on size of hole
Well what an adventure we had.
Location: 5 km past where the truck should have been and when stuck became snowmobile access only with 20 fresh cms of snow.
Cause: Really choochin her up a hill and a bolt rattled loose sending bolt and plastic fan shroud into the rad causing a big hole. Puked her fluids and they shut her down.
Fix: Replacement radiator. Day 2- sled in and figure out parts/problem then go to town buy coolant, order rad. Day 3- morning in kamloops, afternoon removing old rad. Day 4- pick up rad, sled in, have big fire drop the new rad in, filled her up and she didnt leak a drop. We broke trail with the sleds and got the big rig outta there, shes on her way home to squamish now and to a rad shop in the morning. So we learned when it hits the fan out there 4 guys who have basic knowledge and tools can do a full rad swap 5 km sled ride into the bush in the snow. We named this adventure "6.7 on the dickter scale" after she rattled so hard she almost died. Thanks to all who messaged us for help and knowledge.
