Re: Radiator Cleaning and Mess
As I wrote on a previous post I was having problems with the radiator flow rate and so I ran straight vinegar in my system for about two weeks and on a trip up the freeway at about 45mph the rust in the radiator blew throughout the engine compartment making a mess equal to the one depicted in Tom's post. I thought that in came from the radiator cap but maybe it was the waterpump (although the pump is not leaking now). As I am about to make a long trip in the truck I bought a new radiator (Ouch) to avoid having a problem on the hiway. I am thinking about having the old radiator roded out and keep it for a spare.
Cleaning the mess from the engine compartment was a real joy!
