I replaced the lower radiator hose and yes I did the upper hose too along with a new thermostat. I saw in the manual it takes 16 qts. of
50-50 coolant, and I can not get more than 2 gallons into the system on the refill. I flushed out the enitre system real well with a hose after disconnecting the heater hoses and back flushed the engine. is there any reason why I can't fill the system with the 16 qts?? Is there a block plug for draining? I am really concerned about the proper mixture since I flushed the system with water and it is "hiding" somehere. Any info. will help. Also the lower hose is very expensive $79 !! THANKS!!- posted
