Try reverse flushing the cooling system, including the heater core, replacing the radiator (due to phosphate scale), and refilling with a 50/50 mixture of Dex-Cool and distilled water. This link may help:

If you used just regular antifreeze you can have your radiator professionally flushed. You will need to replace the radiator if it leaks or the inside is extremely rusty.

2000 Montana I did not use Dex Cool when I witerized. Now is over heating. Can I have the system flush or do I have to change the radiator.
