Last summer, after reading about debris around the radiators I took a look, since I had no idea that it was a potential "trash can". Well....my 98' in fact had leaves, cigarette butts and some additional unidentifiable stuff.

Even though I didn't want to remove the bumper cover I was still able to use a flexible hose connected to a leaf blower to get the areas cleaned out through the two front openings. (a long BBQ tong also helped to pick out the larger pieces) Afterwards flushing the area with a garden hose really did a nice job. Granted I didn't get totally in between the radiator "sandwich" but got everything out that was visible. Never had an over temp issue before but it still was pretty good yearly maintenance.
