heater core started leaking first off, then as I was getting replaced the
Shop said it was almost blocked I looked at it and sure enough it was.
now on some trucks (don't know about cars ) the Heater core passes water
through it all the time.
the line and inlet into the passenger side head was really nasty.
I stood there and watched as they Flushed the block and let me tell you the
stuff that come out of my engine was unbelievable. of course the truck had
about 160,000 miles on it so that could be why.
didn't really give it much though before, but after seeing that. I'm a firm
believer in flushing the Whole system.
