Drove it to work (After putting the carpet and seat back down). Stopped before hitting the highway to check the cooling system. Everything was cold except one upper hose. Checked again when I got to work...the whole radiator was warm; warmer at the top, but not cold at the bottom like before. Rad fan
never turned on. All good.
Carpet underlay was finally dry, after 16 hours of having a heater blowing on different parts of it. I treated and painted the little bit of surface rust that was starting to form under there.
Other than an oil change, she's good to go. Nothing left to be
concerned about.
