This topic gets beaten allot but I want to re-add that there was significant
cooling ability after I replaced the radiator and a lessor extent the long
coolant lines too.  My van does not come close to overheating ever.  We
drove to MA from PA last summer during that 100+ degree heat wave last
summer.  Sat on the cross Bronx forever.  There were lots and lots of cars
stopped dead or on the side of road due to overheating.
