If you haven't cleaned(washed) your radiator within the last 6 months, I would really recommend that you do that before your trip.


Just to clarify, cleaning the radiator (the thing you see from the back of a rear radiator coach) is NOT where most of the dirt will be found.

It will be on the FRONT of the CAC, as that is the first thing in the air flow and "filters" out most of the dirt before it reaches the radiator.
