Hi,
Does anyone know the best place to hook up a radiator flush kit? I found two hoses under the front skid plate on the passenger side but they're running from in around the AC. I'm just not sure if those are the ones.

Re: coolant flush
Think large, water and hot when the engine is running.
Best idea IMHO, remove the rad and take it to a rad shop. Ask them if it's plugged and they'll run water through it and tell you or ask them to do a reverse flush of the cooling system or radiator.
The small hose cooling system is easy to back flush, same with the heater cores but the rad requires large volume water. Anyone been successful with this?
You could pickle the system, google it first.

Re: coolant flush
Thanks LGF. Going to the rad shop is the step. Flushed the rad and the heater core and the same problem persists.
