It really was that long because we really had to figure things out.

I won't pay anywhere near that but I definitely will owe some favors. I think the switch from 45 degrees to 85 for a week back to 10 degrees definitely did the trick. Thankfully the coolant leak was only the upper radiator hose and the truck is already apart. Its been an expensive few months but this officially makes everything except valve seals complete on my iS.
Contemplating selling it again (house purchase is 100% happening this year so cutting out such an expense would be nice0 I just can't think of a solid enough replacement. Especially now that all has been done.
