[Shotimes] Replacing the SHO

Oh, from 2000 on they get a new radiator-hose attachment method with a 
plastic hose-end molded onto the radiator hose, sealed to the radiator 
spigot with an O-ring and retained with a spring clip.  If the claims as to 
what causes radiator tank spigot failure are true (incorrect coolant pH + 
overtightened hoseclamps = cracked spigot) then this will cure it.

Can't say for sure, I've owned plastic-tank radiators for fifteen-plus 
years and never had one fail yet...
