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

 

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...

 

flushed it, done it , runs great...

but the radiators steaming...

so i bought a bad radiator

LOL

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!

 

well , its not overheating...

just steaming ..

 

check the rad cap...wheres it coming from...?make sure the drain plug is on then.

 

dude the plugs on, i wouldnt drive around without that on

i tried 3 caps

 

dude your gay
