I was towing my jeep this weekend and coming up a steep long grade saw my temps starting to climb. 225ish not normal... I was only 4 miles from my destination, so I took it slow and got it parked. Coolant was blown all under the hood. I cannot seem to find a bad spot on any hoses, so I am guessing the radiator blew a hole. I have a friend coming to pressure test it Wednesday. Any other thoughts on where I should look until then?

Was the coolant puking from the degas bottle by chance? Lets hope not. You may have blown the top seal on the radiator, if you look at it the plastic top of the radiator is just crimped on and there is a rubber seal between the 2 pieces.
definitely seemed to far forward for the degas bottle. When shut off it was dripping from the radiator bottom, was on the front of the hood... everywhere, that leads me to believe the fan was tossing it. But i admit I have tons to learn about these trucks still
if radiator is cracked like the pic above, then it's best to get the mishimoto radiator, or an all-aluminum radiator. they don't have as much plastic around, and they hold up better. tats just my 2 cents.
