Very nicely done Chris.......I only have like 25,000 on mine when should I flush the radiator and change the coolent? I do not think it has ever been done from date of purchase from the dealer.

I would do a complete flush once a year. it's alot easier to do a flush then to change a heater core.;)

Thanks lil! Frequency of this project is something that can be argued, but I would think that every 10k miles would be a good idea. I didn't begin to have symptoms of a clogged heater core until 120k. However, if I had practiced the proper preventive maintenance, it would have never been an issue.

So i did what Virused said and everything was easy and right on. It took me about 15 min to do in a heated garage. Before i was just getting luke warm air, now it actually gets hot, and i get hot air sooner. Im just wondering how long this will last. If i loose hot air again im going to have to flush the entire system. But thanks a lot Virused!
