Im wanting to flush the heater core on my 06 2500 HEMI, anyone know what size hose goes to the heater core, id like to get a few long pieces to keep the mess under the hood down
I installed one of those "flush kit" Tees in my '99 and when it got brittle, I swapped it out for copper & brass, making my own T with small ball valves. I remember using 5/8" barb fittings at the Tee.
Kit I started with was Prestone one. Not expensive... just not long lasting! Maybe 2 years? Also had installed garden hose style couplings (had a T in both inlet & outlet of core hoses to flush either way) and used an old green garden hose I cut to lengths that would discharge to a 5 gallons bucket under the front.
hmmm, ill look into that prestone kits, i think my local autoparts has them, i thought about just cutting the lines and using a double male adapter to put em back together when im done so that i could cut em right where they meet the frame
That would be just as easy, Sir! I liked have the T there so I could just screw on a short piece of hose and really cut down on the mess when opened up.
Also, I remember once adding the garden hose directly to one side and backflushing my core to a bucket...
Heat is over rated!! Just like A/C!! My 98 has the heater core completely disconnected and the A/C completely removed and I'm in Canada eh!! Lol
The last few times I drove it this year it wouldn't even unfog the windows. I had to keep wiping them off with a rag on the inside! Lol that was my sign to either fix it or park it.
