I was called by the police to pick up my vehicle last night, when I got there the officer told me that it may have blown the water pump because there was water pouring out of the bottom, this is the first time it had ever gotten hot. It was towed back to my house and now that it is cool I tried putting water in it, the water is leaking out. There aren't any holes in the radiator that I can see, but it won't start at all. No water in the oil either, please tell me what to look for.... keep in mind that I am a woman be specific, I can't afford a mechanic right now, single mom of four kids.

unfortunately you may have to take this to a pro. it can be a hose has broke and not starting you didn't put whether it will turn over or not. Obviously i'm thinking that this truck was stolen, so it's hard telling why it won't start. A blown engine could be one of them. you'll have to lookfor a hole in a hose or broken someplace or a broken heater hose. make sure that the battery charged so it will at least try to turn over. if it does turn over but there is no spark, then go to the tune up site and you might be able to dagnose the truck to fix it. that is on the site here on the top right side....
