You also basically used a Brillo pad on your entire car :[

My buddy used to have a K&N in his truck before he got rid of it and he really liked it. They can be pretty good if you want to spend the money on one.

I'm in the middle of installing my Hayden trans cooler. It's going good so far, I've cut the stock lines and am seeing which hose routing is the best.

Pics?

Buttoned up almost the last of my S2 intercooler install. Still have to replace one hose to the intake, change the oil, hook up the controller to the IC pump.

Can someone tell me what's the best way to flush the coolant?

I bought 180 tstat and gonna flush on the way.

What's the easy way?
Just to stick the garden hose in the radiator and leave the tstat housing open and run the car?

I'm sure Scotty will chime in. He had a great way process of how he did his. He'll if you search his post you'll probably find it rather quick.

Ok. Cool. I'll look him up.

yup pretty much what you said. remove the t stat, put the housing and hose back on, take the upper hose off the rad, push it down to a pail or let it dump. pull the lower hose off the water pump or rad, let that drain out. put that hose back on, put a hose in the rad turn it on, fire up the car run the engine till clear water comes out.

while the hoses are off the rad, you can hold the lower hose closed, then fill the rad, then let it dump out as fast as it will flow out, do this a few times see if it flows out faster or not with each flush.

then take the hose out, run the car till no more water comes out the upper hose, then turn the car off. put the t stat back in, put the upper hose back on. then add one gallon of straight coolant to the rad, not the 50/50 stuff. then top it off with the hose, let it idle till the fans come on, (rad cap off) then bleed the bleeder. top off as needed while waiting for the fans to come on. top off before shutting the cap.

waiting for the fans to come on tells you the t stat is open as the car is hotter then 195. if it burps and sucks coolant while waiting for the fans, the t stat just opened for a few seconds till cold coolant hit it from the rad. this waiting game can take up to 15 minutes sometimes. or longer.

U r very helpful Scotty

See that didn't take long lol

Lol. Scotty is a good man

i was typing that out as you guys were posting. lol

depends on the van and how big it is and what your towing. but if its a fwd mini van id get a trans cooler and a shift kit for it.
