Get the car warmed up and then try to feel the radiator for any variations in temperature. If you find cold spots u need a new radiator.

thats a good idea. ill try it and update asap.

ok i drove it today and tried to find cold spots i guess in the radiator. nothing noticible at least, so now i'm about to go drain it again and take a gander at what comes out...again.

well more **** came out, but its still over heating just as bad.

dam if more **** came out i would say have a shop do a full flush but then again for another hundred bux u could jus get an aftermarket radiator and call it a day

Fleet99GT

even a shop flush is just a chemical flush and the same stuff you buy at a parts store. try disconnecting the upper and lower radiator hose and run water thru the upper hose while the car is running and see what comes out the lower radiator hose. So u are really bypassing the radiator all together. U might be able to flush more **** out. sometime u get rust and debris out of the heater core.

isnt the top line the return line? ide be working against the water pump. that wouldnt do any good. now maybe if i stuck the hose in the bottom line i might get some **** out. and i'de hav to turn the heater on to right? AND the car would have to be hot enough to open the t-stat. and with cold water running straight in and out i doubt the t-stat would open. now i could maybe remove the t-stat and flush.

the shop im dealing with wants 40-ish if i bring in the radiator. a mishimoto all aluminum is 240. so its more like for 200 more bux i can call it a day.
