Haven't thought about that, but I'll consider doing it in the near future. Thanks!

Do you know at what intervals this should be done? I remember changing the tranny fluid a few years back. Probably around 30k ago.

my dad found it for me at some Radiator place we have here in WV where I live. when he brought it home to me, I was like "OMG, THE GUYS ARE GOING TO ****!"

I'm not sure how much, I think he told me 116, and we got it somewhere here, I can find out for you guys, if you are interested in purchasing one.

Radiator

My small crack has gotten larger. I fog out the other cars at lights. If you have any info, that would be great.

thanks

Radiator

I got one today. All metal, lifetime warranty, delivered to my door in two hours from the time of my call.....169.00 for everything. It was a little more than I found online. I think it was worth the service and friendly staff. Called 1-800-252-0333. The ad in the yellow pages said radiator.com, the box said 1-800 RADIATOR. I'm not sure if it's a National, East Coast, or Philly distributor. Intall tomorrow if it's not raining.

It might be a good idea to change the upper and lower radiator hoses while you're at it. About $20-$30 will do the job for both. Let us know how the install goes.

Yeah, I know. I didn't want to shop around too much or wait a few days for it. It seemed like it was ready to expode. I use the car for work, plus I have a golf tournament in NJ on Monday and I will sit in traffic both ways. The few extra bucks was worth the service.

Radiator in!

All done! It took a little longer than I expected (threw in an oil change and a bath). The fan and radiator came out easy. The resevoir took longer to get out than the radiator (air box removal). I kept shooting the hose clamps all over the driveway. Everytime I had them compressed enough to slip on the hose pwwinnnggg! Filled it up, started it up, no leaks, whew!

Thanks for the support!
