QUESTION: HOW WOULD I CHECK FOR CLOGGED RADIATOR IN MY PROBE??? WHAT WOULD BE MORE SIGN OF THIS ?????
Answer If you suspect a clogged Radiator, the simple check, is with a cold Engine, remove the Radiator Cap, and look for crusting around the Tubes where they meet the End Tank. If you see a lot of crusting, it probably is cheaper to just get another Radiator, versus trying to have the old one cleaned out by a Radiator Shop.
I'd also have a qualified Mechanic check for a blown Head Gasket.
