First question, did it run like crap and have no low end after you replaced parts?
This brown mush as you describe. Is it just sludge from rust? Or does it seem to be like a milkshake?

Some people like the cheap, easy power. FI is for people with time, money and patience.

i got my new radiator for my 84 GSL from radiators.com for 122 shipped, and that was 2 day shipping... seems like a solid unit... unlike one other report i read tho, my radiator doesn't leak, and i went from a single row radiator to dual row, since thats what radiators.com shipped me
