    Radiator Flushing with Cascade Dishwashing Detergent?

    I am going to have to try Cascade again, the last time I used it I got really poor results! But my oil cooler did dump a ton of oil into the coolant. I may try a combination of Dawn and Cascade, we use Dawn to clean our industrial equipment, I know it works!

    813 clutch slipping smell?

    I don't think your engine should be heating up with no load, even in low. I drove mine 300 miles from a GSA site in Mississippi at around 70 degrees and when I ended the trip the water in my radiator was cool! James
