Drove to work, car warmed up fine on the temp gauge.

Never went past normal op temp.

But the heat never kicked in. blew cold air for 20 mins.

I get to work and see steam coming out under the hood. pop her open and listen to my overflow put a show on of hissing and hot steam.

Coolant was overflowing though the down spout and onto the ground.

Where should I start?

Car was flushed 6k ago.
 
I have this exact same problem...ive been searching and reading, and if youve done all other things, flushed, etc etc....then from what ive read, its the headgasket. :notgood:
