Extremely Deplorable
Im getting ready to install the Brass Works heater core that some of the forum members here donated to me and was coated by Twistedsteel Performance. I want to flush the system real good and do it right before I put the brass heater core in.
I thought about unhooking the radiator hoses and making some PVC adapters that I’ll hose clamp to the radiator hose and I can hook my hose pipe to the other end and use the pressure from the hose pipe to push everything out. I would do the block and then the radiator. There’s probably a little oil in the coolant to because I had to use a empty Rottella jug to fill up to get me home the night it started leaking. I’ve heard powdered dish detergent will work good for getting the oil flushed out but have never tried it?
Ive been looking at doing a bypass coolant filter that goes in the heater core hose. I feel like this would be my best way to keep everything good and clean but is it something that is really needed if you flush everything real good? I know that they make a see through tube with wire mesh in it that goes in the top radiator hose that I also thought about adding if I didn’t do the coolant bypass filter.
I want to do this right so I don’t mess up the new heater core and so everything will last like it should. What have y’all done to flush the coolant system in these trucks and what do y’all think about adding a bypass filter or the see through filter that goes in the top radiator hose?
