haven't solved yet, mechanic seems to think motor may be clog up with junk from old hoses that were on the rad. So I bought some rad flush and am going to keep flushing the rad out the first time after the flush seemed to help a little got my fingers crossed that the 2nd time will make a big improv. let me know if you fix your prom. I will let you know if this works for me.
