[QUOTE="Kevin Palmer, post: 539847, member: 54263"] Ok, here is one way to eliminate the radiator or confirm it is the issue. Run it up to temp by either driving or idling, what ever gets the temp to rise. Turn of your Trac. Pull the keys for safety, put them in you pocket for additional safety. Open the hood, reach around the shroud of the radiator. Put the palm of your hand on the cooling fins. Start at the top left of the cooling fins, move you hand up and down as you move over to the other side of the radiator. It should be the same general temperature all the way across. If you hit a cold spot or an area that is much cooler than the radiator is plugged up. If not, then your radiator is good to go. [/QUOTE]
