Re: Cleaning Radiator (kabnvtt)
After spending a considerable amount of time doing this and other things I will probably pull the upper shroud and vaccum out the debris once a year. Then do the full pull and clean when I change the radiator fluid (every couple of years).
Just my plan.

Re: Cleaning Radiator (Husker Vette)
I really need to do this. I've had the car almost three years and haven't done it yet, and I've done some driving in weird places.
