2003 infiniti g35 coupe temperature goes all the way up with coolant bubbling
Temperature goes all the way up when I drive it and the coolant bubbles and goes out the overflow.
Took it to the dealer to diagnose the problem. They said the coolant is not circulating or flowing like it's supposed to.
They recommended to replace the radiator, radiator hoses, thermostat and coolant flush.
I was thinking of having the thermostat, hoses and flush done first and see if it fixes the problem without having to replace the expensive radiator. Is this a good idea?

You let it go all the way to the top? Jesus.. Hopefully your head gaskets are still in tact. Don't do that. If your coolant temp starts to go over half you need to stop your car and turn it off as soon as safely possible.
Anyhow, since when are radiators expensive? They're like $120 on rockauto. The car is 13 yrs old and it would be wise to just get it done. It's ready to go regardless of whether or not it's still good right now. Even if it is ok, you're on borrowed time. 13 yrs of heat cycles makes that plastic extremely brittle.
