A few weeks ago I was hauling 3 motorcycles from Albuquerque to Michigan and my radiator is pretty corroded internally. Most of the day through New Mexico and Kansas it was around 95-100 degrees and the truck was running at around 230 degrees, occasionally crept up to 235, was that safe for the engine?
Whats the best way to clean the scale out of a radiator? I have heard vinegar works really good. Is it safe to use part store cleaners that require that the engine is running since there would be nothing to prevent cavitation? Or is the best bet to just have it boiled at a radiator shop?
Also mine doens't have a fan shroud? Does this effect cooling a lot?
