Brett, take the front grill section off so you can get to the radiator real good, spray some cleaner or degreaser in it and hose it down pretty good. I clean mine regularly and still it does not all come out unless you take everything off the front and clean it every now and then. Just hosing it through the grill will not get all the mud out.

Try some simple green and let it soak for a little bit and hose it out good. A small flashlight from behind the rad good way to check how clean it is.

i found this on high lifter
"I saw this on the SSB's forum and thought I'd pass it on. A fellow is using mink oil to pretreat his radiator for mud and water and it's preventing overheating by stopping the mud from sticking. You can buy cans of this stuff at almost any shoe store as it's used to treat leather. I just bought a gallon of the pitch pine mink oil blend and will be giving my own reports as to how well it works. Now, off to the pond"
hope it helps
here is the link too

Just beware that if it's real dusty that stuff could make the dust stick and clog you up too.
