Hope everything turns out alright for ya. I just went through the same thing, without the BOOM!
While you were at at, you probably should have hit the t-stat and pump also. Yes, it's more money in the engine instead of tires, but the piece of mind is well worth it.

By the way, what's a Whataburger? We must not have them in PA.

Nasty **** burger joint in the south.

 

I think he means good place to get a burger at 3 in the morning after drinking. Much better fast food than McDonalds or Burger King.

 

Anything is better than McDonalds. We go to Eat N' Park for breakfast buffet after the bars close.

for some reason its huge in South Texas, when I lived down there for a couple years everyone swore by them, I had tried them before, its too much bread, and like a thin slice of meat.

I would take Jack In the Box or Sonic over Whataburger any day, shoot I would take Mcdonalds over that too.

BUT Whataburger does have good fries and shakes.

 

same thing happened to my brother 2001 WJ did the same thing except he cracked the head because of the I6 with the 0331 head but his thermostat failed i would also change the thermostat for safe measures there only like 5 dollars and can save you on expensive repairs

 

hmmm much hate for whataburger.... if you havent eaten it then you might as well be a caveman... kidding its quite tasty.

 

well actually i dont really like whataburger my gf does...but it is better than mc.d's and bk..

 

dang i got the same one on ebay for 70 bucks.... didnt come with a cap tho

 

^^^ THIS.

Throw away the POS cap that came with your aftermarket radiator also. I guarantee it's not correct relief / poor design
