First, with the dirty cooling system, you would need to perform a coolant flush and replace the thermostat (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/thermostat-replacement) and radiator cap (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/pressure-test-radiator-cap). This will help with the overheating issue if you are still...
