No. Let it cool down before you open the radiator cap and then put water in the radiator
Follow the top radiator hose down to the water outlet. The stat is in there. Let me know if this helps you. Mark
Open the radiator drain and let drain into a catch basin. Run water through the radiator by filling through the radiator cap with a hose till the water coming out is clear. Fill through the overflow bottle if there is not a radiator cap present.
u need to take both the radiator hoses off the radiator and take a water hose to the top inlet. leave the cap on it. and let water run through it to flush it out.
Bottom of radiator on driver side. open radiator cap, and turn drain plug at bottom counter clockwise, you should see the water/coolant drain out. Once empty, place water hose on radiator and let it flush for a few minutes or till you see the water come out clear, shut off the water, let radiator drain, screw drain plug back in place and fill radiator with a mixture or 50/50 water/coolant.
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.
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
take radiator cap off, make sure radiator is full, start the engine let it water circulate for awhile and then open radiator drain slightly just enough to get water and air to come out,drain is located under the radiator. Careful not to burn your hand.Turn off radiator drain and replace radiator cap.
Bring your vehicle to a garage is what I would do so you can let it thaw and refill it with antifreeze because there must be water in the radiator
Let the engine cool down. Locate the lower water hose at the bottom of the radiator. Unfasten the clamp or clamps, pull on the hose and the water comes out.
too much water added the overflow is designed to let out water.onece the radiator reaches the required pressure,the excess water is exhausted thru the overflow
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.
