Hey guys I was wondering if anyone has use a flush and fill kit like this:http://www.autozone.com/autozone/acc...er=525931_0_0_ Is this a good way to flush the WHOLE system? My concern is that it drains from the top of the radiator, not the low point in the cooling system. Does this matter? Thanks.

 

IMHO, flushing crud from one area to another is not a good idea. Remove both hoses from the t-stat cover and remove both hoses from the water pump. Flush the heater core, motor/head and rad all separately. That kit thingy just looks like a flush-up to me.

 

Personally I don't like those things. You have to remember they are only plastic and they can break and give you another place that you can leak and causing you to over heat. Just do like djb383 said. You will be better off.

Cheap brittle plastic at that.

 

Not quite as cheap and brittle as the heater control valves, but close!!
