Looks like your water pump committed suicide.

Definitely shot itself in the head if that's it. Shit is everywhere, even the damn wheel.

It sucks, but it's not unheard of on the 2015-2017 cars once you get past 50,000 miles. Luckily it's not too big of a deal, and you can upgrade to the new "Yellow" P-OAT coolant while you're at it that will effectively last forever.

Hopefully it didn’t run hot before you caught it.

That’s a freaking mess. On my old 4.6L GT the plastic coolant passage on the intake manifold took a dump on me during a hard pull and the mess was much the same.

Hopefully a simple fix. Water pump or maybe you caught a road gator and ate a hose or something.

Didn't get hot, smelled it burning when I pulled in the gas station. Shut it off and it puked it out. Barely up to operating temp. Got it towed back home. I'll look at it tomorrow.

I just put this coolant in my car and cooling system for my whipple. Looks like Mountain Dew. Lol

It isn't just the 2015-2017 cars. All Coyote's have what I'd call premature water pump failure. The water pumps in these cars were never meant to handle high rpm usage.

It's the radiator. Poured water in the coolant tank tube. Started coming out of the radiator by the passenger side fan.

Something went through it

So much for the 'premature water pump failures' as others had eluded too haha. Perfect time to upgrade your rad !!

 

[Jmesl8er]

I just bought a factory one.

That's the condenser, not the radiator. But a similar situation with the clogged evaporators . Always better to be without A/C, than stranded in the middle of nowhere, no? But if it's summer, it'd still suck. Ha ha.
