another over heating thread!! (sry)
so i was muddin today and my baby got super hot like right at the red. replaced the tstat with stock one. looked in my over flo and there is a bunch of crap in there so def gonna do a flush soon. it has never overheated on the road just when im stoppin on the money pedal, so im guessing that my system just needs flushed out but i was lookin for some more advice as well, other than the csf 3 row and 180 t-stat.

if you flush it right.. if you are gonna do it yourself with like that 5 minute flush kit you buy at the auto parts store then you might not clean out all the junk and maybe leave air pockets maybe probably a small chance .... some garages use a machine i know ours does it puts cleaner through the system while its running and does a complete flush

so i replaced the cap and put some water wetter in there then i checked to see if all my hoses were hard and sure as **** the lower hose was as soft as a pillow. so im assuming that that means that my rad is clogged up? any advice? any luck with the coolant flush adapter kits from autozone?
