remember to remove the rubbers at the bottom of the old radiator to use on the new radiator

This can be due to one of a few different things...First of all, water flows from the engine to the bottom of the radiator, using the water pump and gravity, and the water returns from the radiator back into the engine on the top side.

Thermostat isn't opening...this causes the water / antifreeze to remain in the engine, and not flow through to the radiator. If the water / antifreeze gets hot enough, it should activate the thermostat and water should flow into the radiator through the bottom radiator hose.

The bottom radiator hose is either worn out (there is a spring inside the length of the bottom hose. it is there to keep the hose from collapsing under the suction pressure during normal use) If the hose feels spongy, soft, or shows signs of cracking, replace it.

The radiator may be clogged, preventing the water from flowing freely through all of the 'fins' in the grill section of the radiator. Hot water usually isn't just in the top section during a clogged radiator situation...

the first thing make sure car is totally cooled down. then drain your radiator, there is a drain plug probably on the passenger side of the radiator, it will be on the bottom of your radiator on the inside. then take the hoses off, top radiator hose, bottom radiator hose, top transmission hose, bottom transmission hose. you also need to remove your fans, there will be two bolts on each side of the fans, and there will be some little spring keepers, two on the bottom and two on top, unplug the electrical plug and work your fans around until they come out. you will have mounting bolts on each side of your radiator, more importantly you will have another coil in front of the radiator, and you will need to remove the bolts attaching the two coils togather, be carefull when removeing and installing the new one, because that front coil will be for your a/c dont want to damage it. hope this helps

remove the coolant at the bottom drain valve, then remove the bottom radioator hose also the top radiator hose, make sure its park at the steet or curb. put a garden hose on the top radiator hose holding up with a rag around the hose and radiator hose so it wont leak the pressure. and just let the bottom empty all that **** out. i done this to so many cars to clean up all the built up between the guides. hope this helps you k!!!

- Make sure the engine is cold and not running.
- Drain the radiator fluid by opening the drain plug at the bottom of the radiator or for a better/faster drainage and cleaning, carefully remove the bottom radiator hose by first loosening the hose clamp.
- Open the radiator cap and water rinse/flush the radiator core via a garden water hose until you no longer see any dirty water coming out of the bottom hose (or drain plug).
- Flush the radiator over flow (plastic) container by overfilling it with your garden water hose.
- remove garden water hose, carefully refit the bottom radiator hose, tighten the bottom radaitior hose clamp, refit/tighten the radiator drain plug.
- refill the radiator with approved radiator fluid for your climate and also refill the radiator overfow tank to the indicated level..
- Refit radiator cap
- Start your engine until it warms up and check for any water or steam leaks. Refit and or replace any faulty hoses or radiator (regulator) cap!
It is not difficult and have fun!

it may be a little off, but the lower water hose seldom gets very hot,, as its this hose that suplyes the engine with ""cold water"" the hot water comes out the top hose,, drains down the rad and cools on the way down then enters the engine through the bottom hose """if your engine stayes running in the normal place on the gage,,,and not over heating""" why are you spending money for nothing???""
you wont get the bottom hose to run hot unless the engine is cooking

depending on how many miles you have on the car i would look at the lower hose first; the other common problem on a 93 cav would be the lower radiator neck or radiator leak; the lower hose has less pressure on it than the upper so sometimes finding the leak can be tricky. with the engine off and cold squeeze the lower hose by the radiator to see if any fluid comes out. otherwise you would have to pressurize the system to find the leak

There is something called a pigcock, which is usually located on the side bottom of the radiator next to the lower radiator hose. The easiest way to drain your radiator is just to disconnect your lower radiator hose.

The thermostat is most commonly located at the end of the upper radiator hose going into your engine block.

If you are trying to solve an overheating problem this will not achieve anything, but if just to clean out dirty coolant this is how its done..
When engine is cold !!! with radiator in vehicle.
1/ Remove Top and bottom radiator hoses.
2/ Insert garden hose into bottom hose connection of radiator (Use a rag to help seal the connection) turn on water fully to reverse flush radiator till water comes out of top connection, repeat a couple of times.
3/ Reconnect hose to radiator , fill with clean water only.
4/ Run engine till it reaches normal temperature, then switch off engine and allow to cool.
5/ Remove bottom hose to drain system again, refit hose and refill with a good coolant mixture according to you climate.

if you don't have a draining nozzle at the bottom of your radiator than you'll have to disconnect your bottom radiator hose to drain the radiator fluid.Easy to do,but just make sure you have a drain bucket handy when you take the radiator hose off.Radiator hose is just ckamped on and most likely the only tool you need is a flat head screwdriver to loosen up the clamp and pull the radiator hose off.
