Do you know that in Oregon you can’t pump your own gas only a gas station attendant can pump gas?

 

New jersey is the same way

 

you know you guys could have posted the link the the heater core flush DIY page. I actually had to do some work and look for it my self. (sarcasm)

But really thanks for that tip i will try the flush when I get some time next week.

 

I had to back flush mine; and then it would heat up a turkey..

 

Kinda a big deal when a Texan goes to NJ on business and tries to pump their own gas and tell the Union Gas pumper to go take a hike.. I'm from Texas I dont need someone pumping my gas.. and then to hear all the bs that flows from their mouth afterwords.. LOL..

 

So I am gonna flush this ASAP. But I just want to make sure after I flush do I add straight normal antifreeze to remix the with the water in the heater core or do our trucks take something different?

 

I used my 50/50 mix I had but it didnt take much to top it off(maybe a cup or 2)

 

All you need is the regular "green" Prestone type antifreeze. None of the fancy new stuff.

 

If you don’t trust yourself to do it mix it correctly they make the premix 50/50 in stores.

Yes just Prestone they have the 50/50 also http://www.autozone.com/autozone/accessories/Prestone-50-50-extended-life-antifreeze-and-coolant?itemIdentifier=391379

A tip I prefer to remove the bottom hose to dump out the old stuff and the flush it will flush out any grit and muck faster than the tinny little drain valve don’t use the little valve

 

Thanks for the heater core flush advice. Flushed it and ran it around the block an it was already warmer than before. So I'm happy.
