Even after voting, I cannot see a way to edit the poll, sorry!

I still suggest a system flush before jumping into recoring the radiator. My Jeep enjoyed spending time near the red-zone. I did a full flush of the radiator by removing it and using my garden hose, then reassembling the system and using an acid flush, then draining, water flushing 2 more times, and then finally a coolant addition. The result was an impressive stay in the "Midzone" at ALL TIMES in 90+ heat with the A/C on.
