    At the end of last winter I noticed my cars heat was not getting hot like it's suppose to be, so I felt the inlet and outlet hoses for the heater core and one was hot and the other was hardly even warm. So I'm gonna back flush it. Can someone send me a link of how this is best done? Thanks

    Remove both hoses and stick a garden hose in one and run the hose. Do it both ways and it will flush it out good.
