Hope everything turns out alright for ya. I just went through the same thing, without the BOOM!
While you were at at, you probably should have hit the t-stat and pump also. Yes, it's more money in the engine instead of tires, but the piece of mind is well worth it.

By the way, what's a Whataburger? We must not have them in PA.

I think he means good place to get a burger at 3 in the morning after drinking. Much better fast food than McDonalds or Burger King.

Anything is better than McDonalds. We go to Eat N' Park for breakfast buffet after the bars close.

for some reason its huge in South Texas, when I lived down there for a couple years everyone swore by them, I had tried them before, its too much bread, and like a thin slice of meat.

I would take Jack In the Box or Sonic over Whataburger any day, shoot I would take Mcdonalds over that too.

BUT Whataburger does have good fries and shakes.

^^^ THIS.

Throw away the POS cap that came with your aftermarket radiator also. I guarantee it's not correct relief / poor design
