Andrew;
        You have to be 100% sure the radiator is working properly. In
both cases flushing with a "tee" made matters WORSE on our Vanagons. It
is my personal theory that all the junk settles out in the radiator. I
had to call around and find someone who could "blast out" the radiator.
About $25.

Good Luck and Drive Safely
