OK...so I finally decided with new water pump and low temp t-stat installed the other day it was time to tackle the radiator clean out. Not just the vacuum cleaner in the intakes but a real cleaning by bumper cover removal. I have to admit my imagination told me it was a tough job... NOT !

I watched a short video posted on here. Looked simple enough. It is relatively easy and what a benefit. Just a few tools and the garden hose (I have an air compressor on hand, so I used it too.) Take a look at all the debris inside. Now go clean yours.
