DJNEWK2,

So, you replaced the radiator and the thermostat at the same time? Aaacckkk .... if you did, we all may have missed the opportunity to see which one was the problem ...

I had been "betting" it was the tstat since you noted earlier it had a replacement radiator in it.

Can you fill us in on this?
