Right did all that replaced fluid, new water pump and hoses and have the desert cooler rad too since 15 years ago. (5000 miles ago or so)
desert cooler "Brand new 4 core radiator, complete and ready to install, at a price that's cheaper than recoring your old one. Available in two different models: Standard Capacity for normal applications or our Desert Cooler for maximum cooling power. The Desert Cooler is recommended for V-8 applications or towing. "
Have always had a overheat problem with it as I did with the old regular radiator. In TEXAS it was somewhat expected as temps got to 95-110 in the summer. But out here in california it is 60-90. It heats up in both of those conditions if let set idling for 5-10 minutes. ANd will overheat at 10 or so. Have not let it do that in a while. But if you shut it off it will push water out the release. Have a catch can there now.
I have not force power flushed it recently. It has all been drained as I put a different intake on it a year or so ago.
