My rear radiator/Cummin's started overheating at 30,000 miles. I bought it used. I spend a lot of money having it removed and cleaned. Since that time, the slobber tube has been extended and routed down below the radiator. I also take advantage of the DIY car washes that have a 14' bay. I just pressure wash it from the rear, insuring that I hold the wand at a 90 degree angle to the fins and slowly move one or two rows at a time until I have covered the entire radiator.
I never have an overheating problem so I'm sure the re-routing of the slobber tube is a big contributor to it, but the pressure washing just makes me feel better about it.
BTW: I know the next post will say that I could bend the fins on the radiator but I have never bent one in 11 years of fulltiming.
