Is flushing your truck's cooling system really worth it? Definitely!

Just flushed my M1088 with Thoro-flush (2 pints). Amazing amount of scale and minerals came out. Gray clay-like stuff. Makes sense. It's been on the road since 1998. Follow flush directions very closely. Flush until no red dye present. Helpful customer support.

Replacing all hoses. Most dated 1998. Some I custom fit. One aluminum elbow with 23 degree, or so, bend. . HPS Silicone mostly. Not cheap, but worth it. Will add picts.

Thanks for posting.
Just wondering if you have the parts number and sources listing of the hoses that you replaced. It will be a great help for those lazy members like me. LOL.
