Question2001 Sable, 6cyl DOHC is overheating, but radiator remains cool to touch while hoses leading to it are hot.
1) is it worth trying a radiator flush to clear out some sort of "clog", or should we just replace the radiator?
2) replacement is an expensive proposition - is this something my husband could/should attempt at home, to save labor $$, or is it awfully complex? He's pretty handy and has done car repairs (including radiator stuff, water pumps, etc.) in past, but we have no specialized equipment.
Thanks for your help.
