alright. pulled radiator off sprayed the crap out of every hole and cranny that i could find. water went through alright. but i noticed as it began to drain as i turned water off, the water became very rusted. maybe because of a clog?? It seemed like the water was circulating well, but i'm going to try to clean out the side tanks a little better just in case i guess.

Did you run it to see if it's clogged before removing it??

it doesn't matter now . a piece of plastic snapped of the radiator so now i gotta buy a damn new radiator. btw i pushed water through it again this time kind of tapping it against the ground and the lowermost hose on the drivers side began to push some gunk out of it every time i gently hit it. i imagine it is defidently clogged. so 179.99 for a new radiator at o'reillys
