Hello Daniel. Your thread was very helpful in learning about the operational aspects of my 211 this spring. We put 5200 miles on Happy Jack so far this year but the transmission / radiator problem and my work schedule have had us sidelined since Labor Day. I finally found time to instal a new GM radiator and hoses and plan to get tranny flushed this week. So far about $ 400 in parts and some aches and pains. Forgot how much "fun" :( it is to work on something in a van engine comparment. Hope to get a few more trips before winter.
