@ddunfee Thats what I was thinking that my water pump was going bad. Saw somewhere else that the fins can rot off and not provide adequate flow. @modelageek I had the same problem for a bit, I just took a piece of sheet metal and made a cutout to match the shape of the grill to block some of the airflow through the radiator. Now it heats up just loses all heat when i stop going which leads me to what ddunfee was saying about the water pump. Gonna check it out in a while. Thanks for all the advice and input. Much Appreciated.
