1990 overheating problem solved

I cleaned the outside of the radiator of dirt, leaves and junk, then added Red Line water Wetter. Made all the difference.

The radistor tends to gather debris. The next time you decide to clean it, pull the radiator. It is not a hard job and takes approx one hour. Remove six bolts from the upper shroud, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses ( two reansmission lines if you have automatic, and pull it out. You'll be suprised what you find. Use Simple green to clean the outer radiator, to get the road dirt off, and also clean the a/c evaoprator. Once done the engine will run even cooler and the a/c will run better as well.
