I followed the ten (brilliantly) laid out steps posted by SIRacer, and everything went off without a hitch. The only discrepancy between the steps and what actually happened was at step 6 (let the car warm up and the fan should kick on and off about 3 times). Although, for the first time since the overheating began, I WAS getting hot air in the cabin, neither of the two fans at the front of the hood kicked on. The engine did not overheat during the 25 or so minutes it took me to complete the task. Thank you SIRacer, the steps you posted were very useful.

The gallon of coolant was enough, (I've only used a little over 2 liters since the problem began) and the coolant didn't appear to be going anywhere because the reserve tank level did not drop during the entire process. Could this just be a problem with the fans?

Again, thanks to all for the information; I would be lost without you guys.
