clutch fan operation is suspect when operating temps reached shut of engine and spin blade it should be stiff to spin if nor replace clutch hate to see spending money on radiator when flushing is all thats needed. Aux fan should not need to come on this time of year down here .

Hey Gary, remember when your out House "Hunting", make sure all your permits/licences are in order and stay away from Fat Chick Management Areas. Those areas will usually be designated by a McDonald's within 100yds or Take-out/Delivery chains along the borders. Lol.

Good to know. It spins quite freely and with little effort while the engine is off. Ill go ahead and do that first, but im still thinking the radiator will need to be replaced. That orange/brown clay feeling stuff was caked on very thick. I can only imagine what the inside of the radiator looks like. Maybe ill pull it and flush it out to see how the flow is through it before I replace it.

I got a stock replacement radiator from Bennett Auto on 441 and sheridan 120..00 in stock its a pain toget the tranny lines off with out the right tool.
