I'm sooooo disappointed!

I know, I know... I'm disappointed myself!

Not only do you ride the short bus, we hear you own it!

No.. I really do!!

But.. back on subject... before someone gets upset that we're off on tangents!

Uh, yes, I did email Kags and I'm hoping that with his help I might resolve this issue.

Ahh! I didn't see that the first time! Wow... I'm such a dolt! Hell ya I'll try the loaner first and see if that cures it!

Someone offering you free parts to help you determine what wrong with you car and you missed it!

I'm sooooo disappointed!

I emailed you back, I still have the radiator, email me or give me a call and we will work out a time for you to come by and pick it up.

I'll be putting the loaner in today... Kags, you better be happy you didn't go to that poker game with me Wednesday night... one fella took me and another guy out at the same time! What an ass whipping... it took me longer to drive back to Frisco from Arlington than I played.

Having swapped radiators and checking the temp guage... nothing seems to have changed. However, the ambient temps outside have been dropping so I don't know how much that affects the rad swap. Still, though, when the AC comes on, the temp gauge moves from the 11 to the 1 o'clock position with some swiftness. Perhaps my fans are going kaput? I'll swap the radiators back out and fill again. Any other ideas?

Did you check the AMP draw on the fans that can show you if you have one on the way out? When the A/C is on both fans should cycle, is yours is doing that? The POS runs a touch hotter when sitting still with the A/C running, but normally while underway the gauge favors the 11 o'clock position.

BTW. Did your radiator have crusty critters in it when you pulled it? Have you changed the cap and thermostat??

My overheating issue was the main cooling fan. It started slowing down when the car got hot. I bought a replacement motor from O O O Oriely's for like $70; replaced it in 30 minutes and havent had a problem since. That is the first place I would look. Sorry I dont have any fans to loan out...
