Couldn't get the radiator drain plug out so I just took off both rad hoses and flushed there. Hardest part was getting the thermostat bolts off. It took a propane torch heating it up 4 different times before it broke loose. I had to be careful not to snap the bolt off in the engine, so that's why it took a while. Patience means not having to drill it out and re-tap threads.
One thing I learned is to put the heat on full blast before starting. I did that on the impala with the 3.8 and the heater core flushed with the engine. On mine I had the hvac controls all the way cold and when I flushed the heater core (which came last) it still had pure dex-cool in it somehow.
Prestone Coolant $12.24 x2
$12.24
Stant Superstat $7.99
Thermostat Gasket $3.49
Subtotal $35.96
Tax $2.16
Total $38.12
Not bad for a full in depth flush and a fun few hours.
garden hose is your best friend, i recommend flushing the heater core seperate ;) i hate heater cores now.
