Thank you DKnapp, I'll give that a try tomorrow.

JayVee34. I put a new radiator in a few years ago . . . but it wasn't a very good one. I have flushed the system. After 20 minutes it borders on the red line at 180 degrees. I haven't seen "steam" and I normally shut it down before it goes any higher. The fluid level is just barely over the fins so I think I'm good there. If I add too much it does pump out the bottom when I shut it down. I did put in a new pump. Thanks

Ivan, would you go with a 2-row 10 fin or 2 -row 6 fin radiator? Is there much difference between "Pressurized" Radiators and just Radiators?

Chris, radiator is a replacement and coolant level is good.
