coolant flush procedure
maybe this is a stupid question. the coolant flush procedure in the chilton's manual states (paraphrasing): remove cap on expansion tank,
drain radiator, close petcock, remove thermostat, replace housing (without installing thermostat), remove upper radiator hose at radiator, insert garden hose in radiator. my question is: do you run the engine while the garden hose flushes the radiator or does the flow from the garden hose flush on its own? please, oh please, help!!!
my truck: 2004 (newer body style)
5.4L
