Follow these steps. # First, disconnect the battery of your car. # Take off the radiator cap (the cap on top of your radiator) # Take a small hose (approx. 3ft) # Put the hose in the radiator as far as you can # Suck on the hose until you start to see/taste the antifreeze rise (if you consume any antifreeze contact your local poison control immediately) # There is no drain plug

Remove the thermostat and replace it with a new one. Should be located where the upper hose connects to the engine. Pour in a 50/50 mix of the correct coolant and distilled water. If you buy premixed then just pour that in. Should take 2 gallons. Leave the radiator cap off and start the engine. let it run as you keep an eye on the level in the radiator.

Sounds like you need a radiator coolant flush or you need a bigger radiator for your vehicular transport thingy.
Three main reasons for replacing a radiator are 1) it leaks and replacing the radiator cap, hoses/clamps and making sure the drain valve at the bottom is complely shut hasn't stopped the leaks, 2) lots of rust on the lower half, especially on the cooling fins and at weld points where hoses connect, or 3) a radiator flush machine at your oil change shop shows that the flow through it is badly restricted due to mineral and rust buildup and the flush didn't improve it dramatically. Before you replace it, do replace the radiator cap. Sounds silly, but a weak spring or badly worn gasket can give symptoms that look exactly like a radiator about to die from not being able to hold pressure correctly. Inexpensive cap vs radiator? Easy choice. If you end up replacing the radiator, you'll need the new cap anyway.
