How do you flush the radiator of 1999 Chevy S-10?
An easy way to flush a radiator is to remove the bottom hose from the radiator, and put a garden hose in the top fill hole, turn the water on, on the garden hose and let the water push the water out of the radiator. Do not start the truck. This is for flushing a radiator, not an engine. Dont forget to reattatch the bottom hose and refill the radiator as water will also flow out of the engine and will now be low.
How do you flush a radiator on a 1996 Mitsubishi Galant?
Hey Kala== First drain the radiator and dispose of the coolant properly.Follow the radiator hose to the engine. There you will find the thermostat housing. Take the thermostat out and stick the housing back on temporarily. Take the upper rad hose off at the radiator. Stick the garden hose in the top of the radiator and start the engine and let it idle. Water will comeout the upper hose. Let it run until it runs perfiectly clear. Shut the engine off and drain the radiator and reinstall the thermostat withthe spring toward the engine and a new gasket. Fill the radiator with coolant and you should have about a 50/50 mix by the time the water left in the block gets mixed in. goodluckJoe

How do you flush the radiator of a '99 gmc safari?
In order to flush the radiator on my 1996 Safari I had to remove the radiator fan cover under the hood (there are 6 bolts holding it in place). You will find a plug on the bottom of the radiator that has to be unscrewed and the old water will drain. I ususally put a hose in the cap and let the engine run (with the heater on) to flush out all the old fluid. Then re-plug the radiator, re-install the fan cover and re-fill with fresh fluid.
