YES
and if you really wanted to you could drink a beer LOL
seriously though if you wanted you can always flush the system can not hurt just follow the instructions on the back of the flush
oh one more thing you could always add some purple ice or redlines water wetter to help cooling even more but thats just extra!

go to autozone and get some radiator flush.. comes in a bottle... run it in your system for 10 mins... drain everything out and put pure water in it .. run around town for a few hours.. drain the water out then put 50/50 mix in... (i live in new orleans i forget somepeople live where its cold in the winter so don;t let the pure water in you car overnight it will freeze) i like to do that extra step.. also replace the thermstat at the same time

Re: (gezzuzz)
yes take out the thermostat when your flushing...dont buy the 50/50 mixed coolant...just buy the non mixed one that way you'll have double the amount so later on u can add to it...

i could be wrong but NO you did not buy a bad radiator steam is from the coolant burning somewere on your engine that is all
run the car down the block check to see if your car is not ever heating
then when the car cools down i like to check the radiator/fluid and see everything is ok!
