I had a EZ one that needed a good flush it was a Nissan pickup straight drive. After I took the radiator off the first time I can remove it in 10 min. tops it’s so EZ it you would think it had a zipper on it. This one was a dirty and rusty as it gets the customer was in no hurry. 1st day flushed and kept getting flakes stuff out of it block and rad. The hoses have a crusty rust coating on the inside of them. What the ell load it up with 2 gal of vinegar and time to time run the engine thru a hot cycle. I do this for three days them remove the lower radiator hose and dump it I get nuttin except clean vinegar. I have a Qtr. of CLR fill it back up with vinegar and CLR repeat this for 3 more days. I removed the rad and CLR today I could not see where it helped one bit; the crust in the hoses was still there the radiator was still dirty. The Vinegar flush is a :HOAX: it’s a waste of time and money. Its best to rig up a system so you can keep running water thru it. I have such a system I don’t need the radiator I can run the engine and flush it and back flush it even with the thermostat installed. I took some pix of it but lost them on the down load to my puter I will have to email them to myself then post them… Its nuttin you could not conjure up at your local home improvement store..
My take the vinegar flush its BS it only satisfies those that know no better…
