[V8] RE: New Radiator Choice and Install?

[Maurice Greven]

Ooooouchhhhh!!...  Remember, I HAVEN'T put $247,000 into my car in the
past 6 months !!!

I am going to put off doing the belt until probably Oct. I'm just under
the 60K miles, and in a week or so we'll start doing the addition on the
house, when that calms down, I'll let you know and we can do have the
"experience" of doing the belt!!

For 3 yrs now my V8 has had the "summertime" radiator deal,, just under
100 deg on the road then 105-100 in traffic, even a little higher when
stopped !!  After reading 5000+ posts over the years (really, my V8
folder now has over 5000 posts in it), I'm convinced that it is the
clogged rad. Syndrome (kind of like chlosterol for humans)... We'll see
early next week. I guess since I have to disconnect the trans lines, I
might as well begin the process of changing the trans fluid as well...
(then, since I'm in there....WAIT this could never end !!!)....
