[QUOTE="rwbenner, post: 1053437, member: 77842"] [USER=78504]@dvdswan[/USER], u nailed it. I thought I had looked thoroughly at both radiator mounts/bolts but after getting the fan and shroud off and out of the way, I saw this (see pic) just rattling on the frame. Not attached anywhere….just trapped by the radiator and engine bay components so it never fell onto the road. lol. Anyway, I effected repair on that, got the Tstat housing swapped, and the new fan clutch in the fan housing. Tomorrow is reattaching the fan and shroud and topping off the antifreeze. I was wondering about the oil though, I seem to remember that one should always change oil with an engine overheat….but the oil does not look or smell burned/cooked. 🤔 [/QUOTE]
