Toyota Truck Radiator Problems

[mustang_racer88]

I just had my radiator drained but not flushed and its running like crap, hard to start and idles bad. All connections are tight but I noticed the top hose is hot but the bottom one is cold. The temp gauge is where it should be. Any advice?

What;'s your Year/Model on this again? Does it run like it used to when it's cold and now it's running bad when it gets hot?

Did you ever figure this out? I hate radiator problems, can be so much wrong with it.

The differences between radiator systems and the coolant that goes in them is pretty different so it's important to have the year and engine type to answer the question. It's highly unlikely that a radiator flush caused your truck to run poorly, but it's possible that it's just a coincidence.

I hate dealing with anything on a radiator. But I always seem to get the ones that completely blow out. Never anything easy to fix.
