Coolant Flush

Newbie Question
I am having my coolant flushed today how soon do I need to put in the additive? Also what brand additive does the group prefer? I found Napa Kool but have not found anything else.

Thanks

Some guys run the stuff from Ford. I personally run the Napa Kool and know of a few guys that have put over 100k miles on their trucks using the Napa stuff.

Is it precharged or does it still need SCA?

Napa Kool is the additive you add to the coolant. I can't remember exactly, but I believe it takes a little over 2 pints of it after a flush to bring it up to proper levels.
