Im a little of dropping it on the pavement to get anything out as the plastic on the ends is joined somehow to the aluminum and I don't want to risk cracking any joints considering its been heat cycled throusands of times over 20 years. I will be pulling it out for sure and im fairly certain with 75k miles it wont be clean as new. I don't have any cooling isues besides the one hot day we had where I was parked with the a/c on I noticed the temp right at the warning zone. As soon as I turned the ac off it dropped and as I got on the road and to 40-50mph it dropped really fast. I am going to take a guess that based on what Ive seen one side of the rad will be jammed up very well most likely ahead of the primary fan. Ill be doing a spray soap clean and garden hose approach with no pressure and a soft bristle brush I purchased last night to try and get gunk out between the fins without bending anything. I shall report back !!
