I think we have been taking a few days on this thread!!

Get a water pump, radiator, overflow tank and get it done already.

If we combined everyone's time posting in this thread for nearly a week, I could have done this job a few times.

You can get a 2802 radiator at Napa for about $120.

It has a filler neck and you can get rid of the closed system.. The radiator also has the bung for your radiator fan switch.

Closed to Open cooling system parts

11038 heater hose
11039 heater hose
2802 Napa radiator
730-4514 rezzy
703-1698 rad cap

This allows you to ditch the pressure bottle, all the crappy hoses and clean up your engine bay.
Whats a rezzy?

Yeah i switched mine over in less than a day. But my water pump was less than 1.5 year old so minus that out of the equation.

Yeah, honestly. I spent *days* prepping for this operation. Hell I made a parts list and was extremely thorough to make sure I didn't forget anything. No joke, I had the damn job done in about an hour and just stood there staring at it and wondering how I agonized over the whole deal being hard for about two weeks.

Truth be told, changing the front u-joints has been kicking my *** far far worse...

Yup. Point taken. Back away from the keyboard and get it done.
