Im going to invest in a new radiator soon when I can get the money together. Whats a good one to go with that isnt too expensive? And also could my fan clutch be going, and thats why its getting warm? Just a side note, today i blew a hole in one of the smaller hoses coming from the EGR plate on the highway...that was FUN!!

I dunno about the radiator being bad man. Ive seen water pumps get a blade or two broken off and work somewhat but not fully. The fan clutch im not sure about, what are temps like where you live?

I wouldnt think that the radiator is bad man you could flush teh system and see if you have something in there. There are alot of little things i would check first before investing in a new radiator. Even if the fan isnt running at all the temps are low enough if your cooling system is working it would probably be ok.
