Chunky Antifreeze
#11
I got one of those kits that installs a "T" into your heater core inlet hose and it is the best thing since turbos. I sat there and drank a beer while I let my coolant system flush it'self. You can even do it while the car is running so it gets all the old coolant, any rust deposits, EVERYTHING out.
Basically your screwing your waterhose into your coolant system and using the water pressure of your water hose to force water out a different opening (radiator cap or thermostat cover cap. It really is the easiest way to flush a coolant system.
I put the super flush crap in, drove it for a week, and took less than 5 minutes to flush the entire system free of the super flush. What a good idea.

I know of a way to run hot water through your car. Do you have a water heater and a clothes washer/dryer? If so, you could unhook the hot water hose from the washer and hook a garden hose up to it. The hook the other end to the flush dealy on the heater hose. HOT water.

All sound like good ideas, but if you run your coolant system dry using the common disconnect lower rad hose - just make sure you run the car for a bit watching the radiator level with the cap off. Make sure it burps and add coolant as nessesary. Last thing you need is air in the system. That happend in one of my Mustangs and it blew an engine. So much air the water pump couldn't pressurize. At least it was a cheap 302 that needed a rebuild.
Doesn't the Factory Service Manual have something on a rad flush?
