Ok So maybe I dont know how to do a radiator flush

[RageGST2G]

I bought a cooling system cleaner, and some new antifreeze to put back in, but what is the best way to do a radiator flush on these cars?

Pull out the ####, let it drain. Stick a garden hose in the thermostat housing, and flush. If you really want to be nice, run only distilled water through there, although i don't think it matters. Then put the #### back in and put your cleaner in, fill it up with water, put the cap on, go drive around or idle or whatever the bottle says, and then drain it out. Make sure all parts of the radiator are warm before you shut it off though(the bottom). Flush water through it for a while. Put the #### back in and fill it up with your mixture of your desire, I like about 35% anti freeze and 65% water. Make sure you get it completely full and burp your system the next day to make sure you did get it full.

. take the crew out on the drivers side bottem of the ratiator. if you cant find it, just pull the lower radiator hose. take out the coolent overflow tank, flush it out, run a hose through the thirmistat, like awd eagle, said untell its clear. reconnect your hose and overflow. fill it up with water, turn your car on, CRANK your heater for 20 mins, dive the shit out of it for 30 mins, come back, flush it out, and stick your cleaner in it.

Driver's side on the bottom. On the side of the radiator facing the engine.

Thanks guys, I want my car to be running good (and not blow up) when I install all these new mods (boost controller, gauge, 3" turboback, + porting the o2

So I'm putting this stuff in along with a GM synchromesh tranny oil change (maybe add some of that lucas tranny oil stuff)...

lots of fun..

Yes, we don't want anyone putting a rooster in their DSM.
