06 coolant flush

is there any write-ups or how to's for a second gen coolant flush and fill? thanks.

 

use the search function..."2005 tacoma coolant flush"
there is plenty of threads
it's quicker than waiting for someone to post it for you
fairly easy, drain then fill, you could replace thermostat and hoses at the same time as well

 

That's not a flush.

 

There's nothing special or tricky about the cooling system that I've read about.

Just about any generic write up / you tube video on doing a coolant change or coolant flush should apply.

I've only had a couple of old beaters I drug home that deserved an actual pressurized 'flush', or back flush. In both of those cases the effort cost me a water pump and a radiator, both of which I sort of expected to happen.

If the goal is to refresh the coolant properties, an actual 'flush' should not be needed.

 

Agreed. With these trucks, you only need to flush a cooling system that's neglected. Otherwise, drain the block and the radiator and replace any old belts or hoses as necessary. Reconnect everything, and fill her up with the correct fluid (SLLC). Also be sure to put fresh fluid in the recovery tank. Top off after a few heat cycles. Boom you're done.
