Default Finally fixed!!!!!!!!!!

I finally figured out my damn overheating issue on my 03 SS. I didn't even think about my radiator before because it only had about 8,000 miles on it but the damn thing wasn't flowing coolant worth a ****. Installed new radiator today problem solved, runs cooler now than it ever did before. About f***ing time! Can't really understand how it could have plugged up in such a short period of time?

That could also be a problem.

My post from the other thread

The only other thing that I can think that it is would be your radiator. Shouldn't be with it being so new, but stranger things have happened. Also, who tuned your truck and did they tune it after the cam, about the time that this happened?
I have to point out when i am right because it doesn't happen that often
