You might get them to cover it if you are under their very short "tailight" warrantee.. 15 days 500 miles.. Sheez that'* nothing, they might as well posted "AS-IS" on the window,

But, like Don said, fixing the radiator is a no-brainer that doesn't even make you break a sweat doing it.

Anyway ya slice it, congrats on getting the Park Ave...even if your folks "punk'd" you in the process.

How about this?

As far as covering it, i got it from a dealer buddy, who pretty much offered it at cost <what he paid plus the minimum amount per car they need to make to keep the doors open>. and he already fixed a motor mount, and got the air conditioner recharged before i bought it. I think i will buy above part, and see if his guy will put it in. I would rather have a lifetime warranty one in there anyway.

we tried patching it with marine epoxy, not even close

it also chugs when i nail it at the bottom of a gear. i am hoping that it just needs a tuneup.

I also think it took a shot in the rr fender because there is no park avenue badge, and no clearcoat either

did you ask the dealer if they would cover it?

sorry, just edited above post. i left a voice mail on his phone saturday, and saw him at chruch today, and i asked him when he gets in on monday. he asked if i wanted to come in and get my money back, because he could get more for it, or somehting like that. dont worry, it was all in good fun.

well, thats understandable to just let it go.

170 doesn't seem too bad. i know ive seen that radiator for more.just be glad you dont have the EOC. id shop around though, before you settle.

quick search, they have one for $110.

what about the warranty though? I have grown fond of the whole lifetime warranty concept. something about if it breaks again, it'* covered. <tempo blew 2 pet ***** on 2 differant radiators.>

Gratz on the PA.

Please treat her better than the tempo

Oh yeah, i have only ran this thing all out twice. Today when i jumped on it, it smelled funny, suspect blowing carbon. it sounds like it is pinging at low rpm under load. here is my to do list:

Radiator
Fuel Filter
Seafoam
Full Tune up
Transmission service.
