![]() Also, I have already removed and thoroughly rinsed the coolant reservoir. I was planning on doing that next and then flushing one last time with water. I also picked up some prestone flush and cleaner. ![]() The previous owner was running green coolant in the truck and per the advice I got here, I'm switching to dexcool. I was considering pulling the thermostat and flushing directly through the manifold too. Since the only things that really need flushing at this point are the radiator and manifold. I then took the garden hose and ran it directly into the radiator fill neck and let it run for a few minutes, for good measure. I did not run the engine during this process. ![]() I turned on the hose and flushed until I saw the water run clear. I ran clear hoses from the radiator drain and block drains into an extra large catch jug to avoid the mess and so I could see when the water ran clear. Today I pulled the block drain and knock sensor and hooked up the prestone flush and fill kit. Because it appears to be brand new or very close to it. I have replaced the entire cooling system with exception of the radiator. Today I began the process of flushing the cooling system and have some questions about how to proceed. So after an arduous few weeks of burning the candle at both ends, working 10-12 hour days, prepping my house to go on the market, waiting for parts and fighting daylight, I've finally completed the install portion of my repairs.
