Coolant System Flush
I didnt find much on HOW to flush the system so...
What is the best way to flush out your system?
Undo the lower hose and pour distilled water into resevoir?
I have seen someone put a filtration system on...where can I get that?
What about replacing the upper hose with the one that doesnt go below the serpentine belt?
Thanks guys.

To flush the system:
1. Drain the radiator into a 5 gallon bucket or equivalent, close valve.
2. Remove the thermostat and reinstall housing
3. Disconnect the upper radiator hose from the reservoir
4. Put a garden hose in the reservoir and run water through it until clear water is draining out of the radiator hose.
5. Reconnect upper radiator hose and reinstall thermostat.
6. Refill radiator with new fluid.
This method works just fine for me.
As for the coolant filtration system; there are a few places that sell them, just run a search.
Hope that helps you.
