Help w/ 04 Gulfstream Friendship Engine Radiator Flush
Hi, I have an 04 Gulfstream Friendship with a CAT 330 (not a side mount radiator) and looking for guidance to locate the following to service/flush engine radiator:
1) I can't seem to identify the exact location of the 2 thermostats and housing. See photo 1 of of the top of the engine view under the rear bed. I am suspecting it is found in the upper, slighter left center of the photo, but I have not yet crawled down in there to examine closely. If anyone knows for sure, mabe download the photo and circle it in paintshop if you can find the thermostat housing in the photo.
2. I'm also not sure exactly where/how to access a garden hose up in front with the heater lines to run continuous water to flush the rear engine radiator. See photo 2 of two "hot" hoses that warm up with heater turned on (found above the generator).
It seems like an easy job, but time consuming once I am able to get going. As to 1) I also found what I believe is a radiator hose on the passenger side of the generator that has a cap which could be a drain line. But if I drain from here, where can I run water from to flush the system until the water runs clear.
Any help on identifying these locations is greatly appreciated. For anyone looking to do this, on this coach, it takes 9.5 gallons of coolant according to Freightliner. I have all my supplies, but just need assistance getting started. Thank you.
