[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 16276413, member: 9628"] On my 2008 I first of all added a drain petcock in-line at the lower H/E hose after taking the lower hose off of the H/E...... [ATTACH=full]1595385[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1595386[/ATTACH] ^^^^That is for future H/E drains.........Then at the S/C reservoir I removed the I/C hose completely and capped the nipple on the reservoir. I then installed a "L" shaped hose of the correct size on the I/C nipple and pointed it downward into a Ziploc freezer bag. I then filled the I/C reservoir completely with distilled water and used a shop-vac to blow into the fill hole where the cap screws on. <<<This process pushed all old fluid completely through the H/E, all hoses, through the I/C and when I saw fresh clean water in the Ziploc I knew all old/contaminated fluid was out of the S/C cooling system. Then I used that same shop vac to blow all water out leaving the system completely flushed and empty. Then I filled the reservoir with the mix I use in my S/C cooling system and used the shop vac blower again to blow the fluid completely through the system, I would stop blowing when the reservoir was getting low and refill it so that no air was getting into the system. Once I saw a steady stream of new/clean fluid flowing into the Ziploc bag, I knew the system was filled.
