When I picked Pete's wife up, she was remarkably relaxed, considering everything they've had to endure, not to mention the extra expense of this problem costing them well over $700 bucks so far.

Pete's wife told me she kept telling Pete it was te radiator all along....yeah, yeah that's right....Sharon knew from the get-go what was wrong! She even told Pete she'd replace it for him, unfortunately she had to fly home for work!

Yup, seems to be what the issue was. I will probably post a more detailed thread later for the knowledgebase that is FTE.

Welcome hope, Pete!

Thanks guys, but all y'all know, aint nothing anyone of the Brotherhood wouldn't have done to help out any other member. 'Sides, I was trying to be funny with my Jon Lovitz-SNL habitual liar routine.
