Default To good to last

Well as I posted earlier the 300 is running great.Yesterday I came home and noticed antifreeze dripping on the ground.I popped the hood and around the top hose on the radiator there was a pretty good drip coming out.I grabed the hose to wiggle it and the flange broke off.Well the price I see online is anywhere from $160 - $190.Any tips or is this my fate.

Well my dad picked up a new radiator for less than $100. I guess I know what I will be doing Saturday. Any tip for me?

Well I just did this and can't see any difference.Do I need the radiator tank cap on or off?I had it on when I did it.I think my gauge is screwy It sometimes bounces a little or if its high sometimes tapping the dash will make it come down sometimes it doesn't. Thanks for all your help on my issues Forcedinduction!!!
