Have any of you guys ever flushed your radiator with **** & Span [4oz. powder] or Cascade dish washing powder?
My friend at the parts store said either one of those worked great.... better in fact than the "Radiator Flushes" that you could buy commercially now a days.
He said just put it in, drive it "a couple of days", and then flush the crap out of it till the water ran clear. At that point the radiator should be clean as a whistle.
Mine is not in too bad a shape, just a bit of white crusty crud and I have to replace a "weep hole dripping" water pump anyway. So I thought I'd flush it before I put the new pump on and refilled with new coolant.
I can't see where it would do any harm and he has been a reliable parts man for over 30 years at his own place and hasn't steered m wrong yet. But I have right at 300,000 on this 5.9 CTD an it still runs like a new one....... so I don't want t do anything to change that.
Anyone have any experience using either one of the above as a 'flush' and/or can anyone see any drawbacks to giving it a try?
Thanks in advance........
