Radiator shop can boil it out.......worse case scenario, you get a good salvage yard radiator. Should not be too expensive.

Thanks, Tseekin and old93junk

They checked the radiator more and they said the one cide temp is at 100 and the other side is at 60 plus. Going to have them replace the radiator.

Update, I had them replace the radiatore and now it is still overheating? I am now wondering if the t-stat they replaced is a bad.

Is this the same shop doing this work?
Has the cooling system been pressure tested?
Did anyone have a leak in the cooling system once, that was fixed with "stop leak"?

The first shop is the one who changed the t-stat and she took it to another place to do the waterpump. not sure if they did a pressuer test but they did a tempature test. So I had them replace the radiator so know there shouldn't be any leaks. I would think that someone would of noticed it if there was? I am going to talk to the other place on monday and see what they will say about the t-stat.
