Car running hot...how to flush radiator?
Have had my 88 stang for two years and have a racing aluminum radiator in the car. Never ran a thermostat. Car startd running a temp so i installed a thermostat but that didnt work. Gonna flush the radiator. Wondering how you guys do it.

Using a hose won't really work to clear it out, it's only effective to test flow. The residue that builds up needs a chemical reaction to break it free from the metal it's stuck to.

I flushed the radiator and car does a lil better but still running warm. Drove car yesterday and car got over 210. So i stoppd snd let the car sit and it stabilized at 210 and didnt go up anymore. One of my friends says it could be a water pump issue

I would look.The water pump failed on my friends 94 GT and it
would overheat everytime he would try to drive it.
I would start looking at new water pumps.
The stock one core radiator can only cool so much though.
