im curious, i just got the ford manual on cd from todras. Well, it has 3 different flushing/back flushing instructions. one for the radiator, engine and heater core. Is this a better way to flush out the cooling system or should i go with the flush kit that attaches to the heater hose?
 
with the lower radiator hose removed I just ran water throught the radiator and the engine until it came out clear ....
 
thats what i thought you did to, but reading th manual esp in the back flush of the heater core. if said that stuff can actually solidify in their and to pulse the pressure to break it lose. Im thinking wow some people must not take car of their cars at all.
 
Or, you could just change the coolant every other year like you're supposed to, and the crap wouldn't build up in the first place.
