    I started overheating out in the middle of nowhere. Got towed back to town. Dropped the skidplate and the A/T cooling hose on the left side was hanging loose. I cleaned up the threads and tried to screw it back in, and apparently it is stripped.

    Is there a fix, other than changing the radiator? Would JB weld get me 300 miles to home at least?

    Just ordered a new radiator. Will be in Tuesday morning early. I am in Springerville AZ, at Avery's campground. Got the old one out. Anyone in the area want to help me put the new on in?

    I'm late to this party as usual, lol.. JB weld would've held it... The radiator on my Celica has been broken for about 10 years on an inlet pipe, I just discovered this a few days ago and I'd been daily driving it for 2 years on 40mile round trip to work... I barely touched it and it came loose...
