Just replaced the radiator in my 2001 Newell @ 125,000 miles. The operating temperature had been creeping up for several years, from 180 at all times to as much as 230!
Given the significant job of removing & replacing the radiator, I opted not to just have it cleaned but instead I had it re-cored. That retained the end tanks, etc but still cost a hefty $1,650 + remove & re-install labor of 20+ hours.
