I just purchased a DeWitt radiator and a set of new hoses from Jerry's. Looking forward to getting it installed. Last week in 92 degree heat got stuck in traffic and temp was pegged before I noticed it. Almost had a stroke......checked the digital gauge and it was 258! Turned off the A/C, turned on the heater and good luck was with me. Traffic opened up and I got to 70 MPH and it cooled down to 202 in a couple of minutes. Then I went home, cleaned my pants and ordered a the same radiator recommended by fellow Wazoo, SecondChance.
