well im all done with replacing the radiator :yay: the only problem i ran into was those damn electrical connections. but after awhile, i got them off. i noticed when i put the new oem fluid in, the radiator was leaking again but not in the seam like it was last time. this time it was the lower hose which i thought i didnt have on right when putting it all back together...so i took the lower hose off and reconnected good this time and let it run...it didnt seem to overheat like it was yesterday and now im off to school. going there wont be a pronlem because its a straight drive with no traffic. its coming home in the middle of rush hour when ill see if its ok. thanks again for all your help. and hey, i didnt get my bag of candy oh well. wish me luck!:thumbup:
