Not for a Chevelle but for a tractor...
Under load after mowing for a while my diesel tractor over heats meaning TEMP light comes on, when it happens I either stop and idle down and cool it off or I take it to the hose and spray the radiator, either way not ideal.
When I go the tractor the antifreeze was dirty and some mud came out. At that time I did a drain and fill. Last year I had to replace the water pump so another drain and fill. I am thinking there is sludge in the block and it needs a good flush.
What are thoughts on cleaners in the system and then do a good fresh water flush? I have also thought about a small pusher fan on the front of the radiator.
I won't mess with this for a few weeks but I wanted to wrap my head around this.
