[QUOTE="mwolson, post: 11639404, member: 16006"] Tabres, if your fan is a pusher, it need to be mounted on the front of the radiator, not the rear. If you must leave it on the rear, you should replace it with a puller fan. If you leave a pusher on the rear of the radiator, when the car is moving, the fan will be trying to stop the air coming into the radiator. You can check the fan to see if it is reverseable. With some DC fans, you can just reverse the polarity to spin it the other direction. But the fan blades are typically what is designed for pushing or pulling, so it probably won't work well if you reverse directions from what it was designed for. Not sure I made that clear... OP, our radiators typically don't fill with sludge like old-school radiators used to, but it couldn't hurt to flush it. and you definitely need to replace the coolant. The anti-corrosion chemicals are gone after a year, so you are not doing your aluminum any favors. And that may lead to junk in the radiator. [/QUOTE]
