For the record, hose was green in last pic. Coolant was not. I like mine pink.
Today was the start of my truck's cleanse. LOL. I refilled the empty cooling system with water and Thermocure. I have many friends who've used this with good success, and although my system didn't look *that* bad, there was a disturbing amount of rust at the bottom of my overflow jug.
(Of course that's not the kitchen sink. Don't be silly... )
I hope the first few pages of this build proved my dedication to rust eradication? I don't want it in my water jacket either...
The extension and sealed funnel allowed me to add the water and Thermocure then run the engine up to OT to get all the air bubbles out.
Now it's a matter of letting the elixir do its work. I'm going to leave it in there for 4 days or so, to maximize the benefits, while I drive the truck to allow lots of circulation. Then I'll flush it again with water as many times as necessary before refilling with 50/50 HOAT coolant. Before the final fill I'll also replace upper and lower rad hoses, and thermostat and rad cap, for good measure.
