I Should Have Known!
For the last 3 or 4 days every time I let off the accelerator or hit it up to 75+the whole rig would shake. Today, going to do a roofing job I crunched it up to 80 on the interstate to see what this was really all about and BAM!! white smoke- radiator fuild everywhere- opened the hood and the fan blade assembly got thrown into the radiator. I mean a good 2 inches into the radiator. New water pump, shroud, fan assembly,radiator and still not done- what a mess. I should have known 
I should have seen this coming with 180K original on the water pump.

Dutch, sorry to hear it man. Thats odd though that the pump didn't show any signs of the bearing going before it "detonated"... well other than the vibration. Its an excuse to go for a bigger radiator (unless you already have the four core).
