Never Ending Coolant flush!!
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?:

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.

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.

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.
