    Throttle Link/Valve lever or try a search on the website you go to and it might also come up. The pics and diagrams are misleading and hard to figure which one is which though. They also vary depending on options.

    Yeah, it's a pain to look for weird parts. No idea how the hell they managed to break it.

    No idea.

    Was super cold last week..

    But last 2-3 days have been fine. Almost hit 50 today.

    Was just cruising down the highway at 68 mph and saw my temp gauge pegged out and just started to see steam.

    Not happy. I don't have a vehicle now.

    Kinda rare to have an all alum radiator blow out on it's own, I'd expect it when it was new maybe. I bet it was a puncture

    Then again the Champion I got for my 300zx looks like Ray Charles welded it with his feet so who knows, maybe their just crap.

    That looks like it will probably be fine. Is it worth the hassle of returning/exchanging it?
