I used straight vinegar for two weeks and then back flushed with lots of water. Runs cool now.

There is better than vinegar which is an acid that, from my tests, neutralizes before it's finished it's job. See this test comparing vinegar to Evapo-Rust: https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123032 which uses a chelation process that doesn't quit till it's done and won't harm metal.
