To flush the heater core get a water hose (from a clothes washing machine), the hoses that connects the hot/cold water to the machine, cut it about 8 in up from 1 of the end. these hoses are the perfect outside diameter to fit inside your jeeps heater hoses. remove the heater hoses from the jeep (at the engine) and slide these hoses into them. and hook up your garden hose and turn the water onwhen it starts to run clear switch the hoses.
***NOTE: you could cut the hoses in half but I like to have one longer so I can set it over the fender and let it drain on the outside of the jeep.
I will try it this weekend and i`ll let you know what happens.
