Here is why everybody should look @ their radiator

[Speedy_Gonzales]

When I was taking off my air lid assembly to paint it, look at the junk that was in my radiator. How a plastic bag got in there I will never know. My car has 80k on it.

lmao nice, i think i will in the morning to see if i find anything in there

[StuntmanMike]

Yeah, when I took mine apart to install a FTRA, I found alot of junk in there. No plastic bags though.

I got all the big stuff by hand, then used an old toothbrush to clean out between the fins as best I could.

I took a vaccum cleaner and sucked out most of it

could you use an air compressor? or would that not be good?

that would work good as long as the air pressure is not too strong. Those fins bend pretty easy

So the stang was ahead of you????

[Orcus79]

Best way would be to remove all you can by hand, then flush the hose over it being careful of the fins.

[partemisio]

what do you guys think is the BEST way to clean it?

Best way: Take the radiator out and use a hose from the back side.
Best in car way: Compressed air.

I had to do that when my 97Z would overheat no matter what you were doing. Once I did that it never overheated again.
