i just attempted a radiator flush now my temp gauge reads way below normal(below the C line). When i run the a/c or turn the car off it goes up to about half way between hot and cold. I dont think the radiator was ever flushed before i did it nor the thermostat ever replaced. is the problem the thermostat? [2000 ford exploder xls v6 manual tranny 170,000 mi]
