Jeff;
        Sounds like your radiator is not up to peak efficiency. I do not
recommend a system flush. It made matters worse on our 85 GL and 86
Transporter. Instead I removed the radiators and had them cleaned. It
solved our hot running problems.
        It is also possible the thermostat is not opening properly since the
heaters bypass it.
