I've got a 01 quad cab 5.9 dak and I'm down to join the 5.9 club...screw mpg! I don't care what number you wanna assign me.

 

thats a badass sig pic of your dak in the snow!
your #48

 

will do a write up in the morning with pics. its really simple. only took 5-10 min.

 

Must be because you know what your doing.

 

ok my 5.9 brethren! I am in the Jan TOTM, and I am the only 5.9 so get out and vote guys!!

link is below thanks!!

 

5.9L heater core flush.

tools needed:
pliars/ channel locks
garden hose

first locate the 2 heater hoses coming out of the firewall. they will be on the passenger side behind the motor.



follow the hoses to where they connect to the water pump and intake manifold.
the passenger side hose should be spliced for easy disconnection above the left valve cover.
the driver side hose connects to the waterpump.




use your pliers or channel locks to remove the tension clamps and disconnect both hoses. (channel locks work better than pliers)

then hook your garden hose up to one of the heater hoses and let the water flow through untill it runs clear. then do the same with the other hose letting it flow through the heater core in the reverse direction.

reconnect heater hoses.
open radiator cap and start engine . let the motor run for a while with the cap off so any air trapped in the system can escape. (ideally you'll want the front of your truck higher than the rear making it easier for air to escape)
then top off the radiator with antifreeze.

any questions just let me know

 

you got my vote! trucks looking great!

 

Do ya mind If I join the club, I'd like the #911 if I could, kinda the Firefighter thing, thanks.

 

Thanks Nim, I appreciate the support!!

 

welcome, and thank you for your service as a firefighter! #911 it is!
