imma do as you suggested and check the radiator first....I will keep you posted...I been reading your post you sound quite compotent in your Miloly knowledge..I hope your right...lol...besides if it is the rad I will be looking for you for the play by play for removal and installation....you don't know it yet but without you I would have never been able to get to the thermostat...I was so upset when I found out it was good....

 

wats up 2nd chance, shouldn't you be hearing some kinda of clicking noise coming from your motor, like babyheuy said i think you should be sure that this mechanic is not trying to get one up on you. Man for two grand you could by your self a new motor and tranny with that kinda money !!wow!!
