I just replaced my radiator, and I have to say the Murray I found is a lot better than the original I pulled out. My water pump has been replaced, and after replacing my fan clutch, I fixed the original and put it back in recently. I also replaced both the coolant temp sensor and the temperature sending unit. I flushed what crud there was from the block when I replaced freeze plugs a year ago. This one has the 2.5, so there is no electric fan. About the only thing I can think to do now is to replace the AC condenser, rather than try to clean the fins out on mine. As it is, I've already combed it, washed and brushed, etc. I can see through it just fine, and the air works well. As it stands, I can take 100° at 85mph with max AC and the gauge never reaches 210°. It hovers around 180-190 for the most part.
Within five minutes of idling, it's headed for the red. My four cylinder power steering system was equipped with a kicker switch, but that's been disabled to no detriment. When jumped, the idle increases noticeably, but not quite to the 1k mark I expected. Higher, smoother idle, but still having the same problem. Considering checking and cleaning the IAC port.
Any suggestions?
