I did that and when i looked down in there it was all corroded and crap was covering the holes inside the radiator. I went and bought a cleaner and it said to drive it for 6 hours with that and water in it. I put that in and drove it for like 10 minutes. It is still running a little hotter than usual about 1 line highr on the gauge (in between the M and the A). After, I will drain it again and add this pure blend stuff that is supposed to lower the temp 28 degrees (yeah right). Any other suggestions after I run it for a few hours? Also, Im an idiot- I cant get the hose off thats above the thermostat to gain access to the bolts. any suggestions? Thanks for all replies- Just trying to save money and do this crap myself!
