Wife's M35 was done last month at about 124,000 miles. Coolant disposal was a problem for me so I had my local Indie shop do the flush along with the NC state inspection. They used BG radiator flush and Autozone universal coolant. This will be the last one needed on this vehicle.

Trying to get my 96 Ram CTD (4x4, 266k miles) from whatever was in there to JD Cool Gard II. I did this long ago on my other 96 (2wd, 445k miles).

It is a 26 quart system as I recall somIll be a while.

It’s so easy to just siphon out the radiator that Injust do that and swap with distilled, drive a bit, repeat. I can do it at the curb, totally clean. Sometimes opening a block drain is a good move, I may yet do that too. But to start getting distilled in there I’m rolling this way….
