When's the last time you washed the radiator out? Likely has dirt clogging the fins. Water hose and use a pesticide pump sprayer to shoot some simple green or some other mild surfacant/detergent in there. Do NOT use a high pressure washer. Garden hose low press only..
futurenow Thanks this. -
thx,,I'll givd that a try..I blew it out about 7-months ago with my air gun

I wash mine out every couple of months just routine maintenance it's a good practice.

Had the same problem for a few months, aired out tge radiator and it was fine after that for a week or so; ended up getting a new radiator cuz the old one had a hole in it
but it fixed the issue!
Try AIRING out your radiator; dont use water cuz dust and bugs can stick to it.futurenow Thanks this. -
