5425 Radiator Flush

[dbuford]

I am wanting to flush the radiator on my 5425 with cab. Seems like an easy thing to do until you pick up your user manual and it is one of the few things that is suggested to be done by the dealer. Has anyone done this on a 5425 and have some lessons learned. Thanks in advance.

I ended up taking off the bracket on the side of the alternator which gave me access to the tank hoses on the radiator. I was able to remove 2.5 gallons of the 3 that is listed as capacity. I was interested if there was any other way to do this and why this was suggested to be done by the dealer.
