If the radiator is in the rear, rather than the side, it may have been clogged with oil and dirt. If so, power wash will not help much, but steam cleaning will attack the oil-dirt mixture and the lower pressure will not bend the fins. Also, are you keeping the RPMs up when climbing a hill? This is especially important if you have a direct drive fan rather than a hydraulic one.
