I flushed coolant now for days. Probably 150 gallons of distilled water. 1 restor and 2 restore plus gallons. I add 4 gallons, let run for 20 minutes then back flush the oil cooler. Every time I get junk in the my catch pan. I started puting a homemade screen(panty hose) at the low hose to catch any junk. Yet every time I catch more(about and oz or two every flush. I am determined to flush until it is all gone. but what I'm worried about is that there is a never ending source that keeps breaking off constantly. Anyone ever had this experience and have any advice?:

Waterlogged

 

Hopefully you drained the radiator first , the gunk from that and the heater core gets build up pretty good , keep the hose it the degus start the truck and give it a few blasts , keep an eye on the degus level not to run it dry.

 

Thanks for reply! Not completely following you. You mean to give it a good rev while the bottom hose is off while flowing water into the degas bottle?

The first initial drain , but seeings that you already been flushing keep going are you pulling both block plugs? Need to get the Engine up to temp ,turn the heater on to help flush the heater core aswell.

 

Give it some revs with the block plugs out

 

Just the drivers side plug out. I'll reving with the plug out tomorrow.
Thanks

 

Need to pull both plugs to get the flush out, the reason for the fomoto drain plug I can do it with out but it's a pita I eventually put one one .

 

Just keep an eye on the degus level don't run it dry.

 

Or just use tap water and have it constantly going into the degas and then just flush with distilled to get all the tap water out.

 

Here is a Video from SrMasterTech

Watch what he does in the 2nd video at about 4:00 in. That is a very good
way to blow the crap out. SrMasterTech gave us some very good info.
Sadly we lost his this last year. But we still have the videos with all this
very helpful info.

The problem your having is the reason it is said to do the flush before you
do the oil cooler replacement a week later. You can just save all that new
clean coolant when you go to do the oil cooler.
