I've looked, it's not a job I'm dreading. And for the limited coat plus symptoms I'm seeing (overheating rapidly once operating temp is reach) I normally don't like throwing parts at an issue but I'm.willikf to take the $20 gamble on this one :-/

There is a special tool ,as most radiators sit lower than heater cores these days , you have to burp the system . Thermo stat , due to

also check to see if the radiator is flowing ,any cool spots on it if so rad time or rod out time if it can ,plus is the fan clutch locking ( big roar from fan )
I didn't touch the cooling system in any of the work I did. The fan also seems to be working as it should, nothing out of the ordinary as far as I can tell.
