1) Lower Radiator hose Ain't "Squishy" and possibly being sucked flat by the Water Pump?
Flushing most of the time, does nothing for something adhered on, better than a Leech!
2) What about a "Take Apart, Vatting, and Rodding" of your Radiator, BY A RADIATOR SHOP?
We have minerals build up (around here) in the veins, you can even see it thru the cap hole!
Last time I had one done, in my area, about 2 years ago, Cost me $40-New one was going to be a little over $200 for my CJ 5
3) I also witnessed a really good one, on a SUV, Somehow the owner got his serpentine belt to route on, and FIT! It was routed wrong, the water pump was turning backwards (a really good "Ma and Pop" type Mechanic spotted it within 5 minutes of Talk and Investigation!) [not me]
I PICK DOOR NUMBER 2....Will I win the showcase?
Waddu Think?
