okay so before i put the new rad on i flushed the living hell out of it, stuck a water hose in it and covered the other with my hand let it build pressure then let go rann water through it for a good while theres no way its clogged, and i can see the fan is on i have it mounted between rad and grill, my water pump is fine not leaking or making noise.
i think once i actually DRIVE it instead of letting it sit and idle everything will be fine and im still gonna get that temp gun but i have to work in a couple hrs might not have time today :sleep:
