webxfx Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Have a dumb question - opening the drain on the rad, that not getting everything out - right.... I still need to flush it out with water.... So if I'm right so far, I was going to use some of this Prestone Super Flush - to give it a good cleaning (good idea???) then I guess what I'm asking is I need to make sure that crap is all out before refilling right?

Addicted To Boost Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Yes, the system needs to be completely flushed out before you switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webxfx Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Yes, the system needs to be completely flushed out before you switch. I'm a 96 - I have Dex and I'm keep that - next problem, I drained the rad - I can't get more then a couple cups of water in to the rad before it over flows - I run it and it goes down - then fill again.... should I have the engine running as i re-fill?

1990lumina Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 It should take most of the coolant until you start filling the last little bit of the rad. Then you just have to squeeze the hoses a few times and it'll force the air out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webxfx Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 thanks everyone - got it done tonight and everything works great now. Put in a 180 at the same time, and now I've got heat inside the car - before the gauge barlly moved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
