i read some of the sagas i cant write as well as the saga pages, so i will try and finish the story here.
they made it to charleston southern without further problems but it was like 3am or so. not knowing the nature of the problem and being 1000 miles away i decided it was best to just replace it. the local charleston radiator shops said that they could get one but it would be friday at the earliest. (it was tuesday). my daughter had to be back in rhode island by saturday noon and would never make if we we went that way, so i called up chevy duty and next day aired a radiator to sc. my daughter put the new radiator in but failed to check clearances before starting the engine. she mangled the fan on the bottom tank of the radiator, (it stuck out a little farther than the old one) the radiator survived thank goodness. she thought that she could trim the fan a little and it would clear so off to sears to get some power tools. the trip back to rhode island was uneventful except for the first gas stop where due to frame flex over a high driveway ramp the fan whacked again, but she was able to bend the offending blades back enough to clear the radiator. once she got home i cut down a new fan and she is back on the road
