So I was running some containers back and forth to my storage locker today... it's about 98F outside and humid, got stuck in a little backup due to a wreck, temp gauge was up around 225F! this is a bone stock '99 4.0, AW4 - nothing leaks, but cooling system is all original save for hoses and belt as far as I know.
Do you all think there's any chance that using a chemical flush will help, or is it time to bite the bullet and order a new radiator? I'm "between jobs" at the moment as they say but I don't need to screw up my vehicle by abusing it either.
I'm assuming that I should probably order a water pump, thermostat, and fan clutch at the same time if I'm going to replace the radiator?
