  • Flushing the cooling system.

    I noticed my coolant is a little old. I know its supposed to last 100k but yeah right. Looking to change it.


    Just dump old, hook a hose up and flush the radiator out, then mix anti-freeze with water. Anything special with the 3.8L?


    I have only done this on someone elses car not my own. Any bleeder screws to vent out air?

      Good stuff thanks...

      anyone know whats better 160* or 180* stat? I might as well throw one in too. I heard somewhere 160* messes with the computer.

          I have the fix for the 160 stat - its a 18K resistor. Let me know if you need one $1 shipped to your door [img]smile.gif[/img] I sent 5.
