update

i flushed it 2 times completely ,then i started with clean water and i added a bottle peak flush kit ( that's whats in it now ) run the car to town and around a bit stopping at red lights then came home and let it run in drive way while i cleaned it ( 20 min ) and it just got to have way,, could i have had too much antifreeze ? , would being too strong hurt me ?? that's weird.. so i might run it to town this evening while we get dinner and see what it does ,, we got back seems like everything is great now , either it was me flushing it or the mixture,, or i had air trapped something is different now ,,ran all day lights and all barley got to halfway ,, i like it !!

thanks

If you run 100% antifreeze you will not get the cooling needed. 50% is the maximum unless you live in Alaska or N. Colda.


How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!
