  • Paging 3.4 Guys.....what is the best way to flush the coolant out

    What is the best way to flush the coolant out on a 93 Camaro. I've drained it before, but never flushed it...i have the kit from autozone but i'm not sure which hose to cut to begin flushing.

    Splice into a heater hose. any one will do since you'll be running the heat while flushing. Preferably one easiest to hook up a hose to.

      Yup, tap into the heater hose near the passenegr side frame rail. It will make it easiest to connect your hose and flush out the system.

        I took off radioator cap, opend plug on bottom and let the hose run in the top fill for like 20 minutes [img]smile.gif[/img] Even ran it a few times [img]smile.gif[/img] May not have been the best flushing but it was cheap and I did it begining of every summer to be safe [img]smile.gif[/img]

          That will only flush the radiator for the most part. You should use the Prestone flush kit and tap in to the heater line for the best engine flush.

            That's what I did to get all the rust that was beginning to build up out of my radiator [img]smile.gif[/img]
