Cooling system overheating after prestone flush.

posted by  someone claiming to be Lawrence on  Fri Jun 6 06:42 CST 2008 [RELATED]

Im thinking I need a radiator.

Temperatures in the 70s, car temp stays below normal.
Temperature getting into the upper 80s car temp starts to rise above normal(bypassed guage).

Got new coolant(G05)

I did have temp increase going over mountain pass last summer. Guage went up half way between normal and hot. Nothing since that, until after the prestone flush. Now on a hot day(80-90)temp rises,especially with a/c on. Guage goes half way to red.

If I turn on the heater, guage drops immediately below normal mark.

Car has a radiator from "Ideal" radiator. It has a metal tank.
Im torn between the 3 row nissen at autohauz($153.00 free ship), or having the "ideal" redone.

Just looking for a little feedback. Any and all comments welcome.

Lawrence
