The shop was more expensive than I expected. $425 to replace the broken part, clean out 20 years of black crud in the radiator, flush the system and refill with green fluid. I think I was the only customer. Still, it feels good knowing the problem is solved.

Now though, I occasionally hear the fan blades ticking against the shroud on the passenger side. It stops when I push on the shroud. Is this a troublemaker?
