Coolant flush on acert little help please

why are you wanting to flush it? oil cooler go bad or just cause? me personally, I would run the cat water filter and cat elc extended coolant. if you are going to flush it with t-stats out then I wouldnt warm it up, just drain old coolant, pull t-stats and fill with water and powder cascade(not liquid), let run 20-30 mins if system isnt too gunky, longer if system is contaminated, then open drain, put water hose in neck and let engine run while flushing through till it comes out clear, shut engine off and let drain, put t-stats in, change filter and fill w/new coolant. I have flushed many with the t-stats in though.

 

If there's gunk use restore or restore plus.

I personally prefer nitrite free ELCs. You don't get any sort of dropout with them, and they cool better than standard ELCs.

 

Is there possibly a better time than while the coolant is drained?

 

Really, your only like an hour away from having a new pump on. A cold leak is a warning. Put it off and it will bite u at the worst possible time.

 

Now ain't that the truth!

 

Yep agree change that pump and flush with restore plus, follow instruction on restore plus bottle. Warm water is great idea just make sure you get engine up to running temp so that thermo state is open to allow full coolant/restore plus/water circulation, so as to ensure full system is treated.
