Hey guys,
Paranoid rookie question - I've got the radiator drained while changing a thermostat ('94 ext cab. 4x4, 5spd behind 4.0 w/ AC), and it's looking like it's going to be a multiple day project.
Any concern over leaving the radiator drained for a few days? It's not gonna start rusting over in there while it's empty for just a few days, right (I suppose I could fill it with distilled water while I'm not working on it, but that's just a pain)? How should I leave it while I'm not there working on it? Draincock and cap both closed, or leave one or the other open?
Thanks a lot guys.
