Been collecting all the goodies for a flush and it is 65* today in Carolina!!
On my 4th initial flush now to get the Gold out and getting ready to get the Restore in after a couple more. I pulled the T-Stat but I think I will put it back in when I go for the 1.5 drive. Only mishaps so far was I could not get the block drain plug out with a allen key so I got to add to my tool collection with some allen sockets!

...and my temporary collection system (wheelbarrow) to hold the coolant until I get some empty coolant and distilled water jugs was not water tight!
Thanks for everyones help here....this site is awesome!!!!
