so i just bought a new radiator and installed it, hooked up everything and no leaks so im guessing the leak was from the other rad.

Neways i have followed the haynes manual **** and i put all new rad fluid in etc and the car is taking 4evre to warm up. Do you think its just really cold from not being run for 4 days or do you think my thermostat is closed or im just not waiting long enough?

YOU HAVE TO LEAVE THE CAP OFF AND SQUEEZE THE HOSES TO GET ALL THE AIR BUBBLES OUT ALSO TURN YOUR HEATER ON TOO AND RUN IT FOR LIKE 30MIN WHILE DOING ALL THIS.

well the car seems to have gotten up to temp. I did leave the rad cap off but it didnt seem to drain any? I ran the car for about 20 minutes maybe more.

the upper hose got warm so i think its working?

if yu leave the cap off and rev it up some it will come out

car seems to run fine but still makes that awful noise once in awhile. I think its either an exhaust leak, belt rubbing or heatshield noise. It happens always when im reversing and sometimes when im accelerating.
