Just thought I'd let everyone know that the mav was fixed on Tuesday and is running like a champ. Turns out that my rad. had about 6-7 tiny pinholes that must have come from some sort of rock flying up and hitting it. These holes obviously got worse until she finally sprung a leak. The rad. was repairable and with a new 160* thermostat she is running better than ever! Thanks for all of your help and next time I will be getting the aluminum rad. but this time it was just more economical to get the current one fixed, you guys and girls know how it is sometimes. Thanks again for all of your help. Jeri P.S. Todd, thanks for the offer but I guess I don't need that rad. after all, sorry.
