The coolant system? Not just the radiator? I bought a flush kit but I'm not sure what hose to use to hook up the water hose to, to let it run water through the system. I'm going to get a new radiator and then do this before I install it. I'm tired of wasting money on coolant.

just pull the plug on the bottom, run some distilled water through it a few times, then repeat until there is no coolant/rust water coming out of the drain plug.

Replace plug, fill up, run for a 30 seconds with the heater on, refill, run again for 30 seconds, top up if needed, and fill the resevoir.

i know how to flush the radiator......i''m not flushing it....i'm replacing it..but i didn't want debris in the lines of the coolant system..that's why i wanted to flush it...i'm getting an AMS radiator since they seem to be a heck of a better quality than KOYO. So if anyone has any input on flushing the system then that would be appreciated. It's like asking someone how to flush a toilet and they tell you you have to wipe before you flush.......lol
