[DMCForum] Continued: my intermittant overheat problem (Blocked Radiator)

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Could a PO have been running funky water through the radiator before you? 

I'm extremely lucky that the City of Laurinburg decided to run
artesian deep wells rather than drawing on surface supplies. Not only
is our tap water mercifully free of sand & minerals, but we're not
subject to the water restrictions that afflict other parts of North
Carolina during these annual droughts.
