Re: Overheating, tried (almost) everything.

Hey guys I really appreciate the feedback and suggestions. I have checked my clutch fan and everything else, but finally I took the advice of several people who posted, removed the radiator and shined a shop light in it to get a good look at it. It looks like despite my efforts at flushing the system that it is likely clogged.

After toying seriously with the idea of submersing it in pure CLR (but searching the forums and learning that was probably a bad idea), I figured that I needed either a replacement or a recore.

I was just about to pull the trigger on buying some online whatever for about $600 Canadian (shipping, exchange rate), when I found a shop that would not only recore it, but would turn it from a 2 core to a 3 core for about half that.

I am hoping to get it back next week and be driving again. I will keep you posted.
