Sounds like you could have got a junk radiator. I have seen junkyard radiators from trucks that were never maintained that had some pretty slimy nasty coolant come out. Could easily reduce the cooling capacity.

I have always kept antifreeze 50/50 mix. I have never drained the system though. I shall try that as well! Thanks!

Just don't waste any money on that water wetter or purple ice or whatever else they sell, its a gimmick and doesn't do anything in my experience
