Things you have to remember and check when replacing the radiator on a 1996 Corvette.
When you've pulled the lower radiator hose to flush it after the first run to temp... tighten the hose clamp. The hose will not stay on by friction alone. At 190˚ it will pop off.
When you tighten that clamp... Make sure it's actually tightening on the nipple of the radiator... or it will pop at 190˚...
Mistakes like this will cost you a gallon of pre-mixed DexCool® coolant per pop.
I guess the good thing is we got two extra flushes to make sure all the tap-water was out and replaced with the 50/50 mix.
All's well that ends well...
