Search Help

[firefox]

I need a little help understanding how to do an advanced search.

For example:
I know there is a post that contains the following information:

It is in the CUCV forum

it concerns flushing cooling system

The poster suggested using some pvc pipe
to divert the water from the upper radiator hose
so that it would divert water from the blast of the fan.

I believe he was feeding water into the radiator thru the fill port.

How would I formulate an advanced search?

Thanks for any pointers.

Did the thread start about flushing the coolant system? I'd search the cucv forum, and search "titles only" for "flush" or "flushing".

Flushing only got one result for tranfercase flushing.

Flush brought up these:
http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?35009-Collant-System-Flush&highlight=flush

http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showth...-to-Flush-that-s-the-question&highlight=flush

http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showth...flush-cooling-system-on-M1008&highlight=flush

Was it any of those? (no I didn't read them)

Thanks Gimp, but no luck so far. I tried several search terms but always end up with
hundreds of posts. I thought there might be some sort of way to combine search variables so
that it would search for the first and then search within the results for the next, etc.

Do you know anyone that posted in the thread(you maybe?)? Might be able to find it that way.

I didn't see any threads in the cucv forum, that you posted in, that had to do with the coolant system.

Could it be in the cucv modifying forum?

Hea wired, I have a simple trick for flushing coolant. Drain coolant. Take two 2in X 2ft lenths of PVC pipe, glue on a 90deg elbow. disconnect top rad hose from rad side, Attach the PVC to the hose with the open end pointing down. Fill radiator with water. Run the engine. The thermostat will open discharging the flush water. Slowly add water to the radiator as the thermostat opens and closes. Flush untill the water is clear. You can use a container placed on the discharge end to collect flush water and dispose of it. Unlike flush kits, which discharge water out the rad cap, this method keeps the engine dry by discharging water away from the fan.

Thank you very much glask and Gimp for your help! That was the exact post I was looking for
as I am sure you realized after seeing it. I still need to learn how to do these searches more
efficiently so I don't have to waste other peoples time.

"Location of Engine Coolant Drain?" as the thread title WILLNOT show up for a title search for CUCV cooling system flush/flushing. I have a HE11 of a time searching for a known subject, I try to remember (at my age that is tough) who posted in the thread, then search that member.
Another problem is that we have so MANY threads with CRAP titles that DO NOT go with the main subject of the thread which at times making searching by title for something almost impossible.
Using a extended search (cucv, radiator flushing), won't show up in the thread because it is a cucv thread, hence it will just talk about flushing the radiator.

SEARCH IS NOT MY BEST FRIEND

I was able to find what you were looking for just with the standard google search. 3rd result when I searched for "cucv flush PVC pipe".

Sometimes searching with less yields more.

 

[gimpyrobb]

That would be searching with more. I only used one word searches, but I used the SS search, not Google.

 

[patracy]

*sigh* The vbulletin search sucks according to many, so I swapped in the google search to the main page. Now I'm getting people complaining about it. I can't win.

And when you accept that fact and move on, you'll have a good day.

Nope, just posting what/where I did for others to read in this thread.
