and loss of power. Rad. needs replaced yes but how bad would the rest of the engine be ? would it run ?

You should be able to crank and run the truck for a few minutes with the old radiator to determine if serious damage has occurred. Just don't overheat the engine again. The worst problem might be a blown head gasket and warped cylinder head. Thank you. david@apexautoaz.com
Suggest compression test!.. Did it get hot enough to quit running??
It was close but no I parked turned off fast. Mech. did start it to hear that was it. Just learned from him that the cap was a bitch to turn, I could never get it either. He said was on super tite, I didn't want to break it so I left it.
Yes, that was done- starting but ran bad. was told had to put new rad. in to test the rest of the engine. Might it still run if other things are bad to ?
