So I'm finally getting around to installing the mishimoto radiator I bought and I've decided to go all in and replace everything, water pump, thermostat and hoses and I also picked up some final charge ELC coolant.
Before I put all this in I figure it may be good to drain the radiator and fill it with water and some cascade fryer boil out which is the true old sodium carbonate formula and drive it a day or so and then clean water flush to get everything back fresh.
Anyone have any suggestions or know about how much to add to the cooling system?

Pro tip: for those that don't know if your tired of crappy dishwasher performance and crappy looking dishes coming from it? Its the soap your being forced to buy at retail stores lacking the goods they used to have that actually cleans. If you purchase cascade professional fryer boil out you will see a huge difference.
 
My Dad was a 40 year radiator man , He never recommended putting in a detergent in any cooling system of any type , if the system is dirty its because a lack of good rust inhibitors in your coolant , add a simple cut of water soluble oil to your cooling system will cure this problem antifreeze does not ware out it just gets dirty and that's only if you don't take care of it , if you take care of it you never have to change it ,my 92 coolant was 20 years old and looks like new same with the radiator . To clean it best thing is to run water in the block with out no radiator in place and pull the thermostat flush til clean oir use a steam cleaned
 
CTaylor - check the passenger side lower corner of the Mishimoto tank for rubbing; you may have to grind a small notch in the rad support sheetmetal.

Also, trim 3/4" off your lower rad hose on the radiator end, the Mishimoto bottom tube has a slightly wrong angle.

Thank you for the tips. I today after reading this checked that part and didn't see any signs of rubbing after 5 months of usage. I did have to trim and fight the lower hose to get it on.

I'm happy so far the setup, I at the same time went ahead and replaced everything in the cooling system for a complete tune up, water pump, thermostat and fan clutch. Now I just have to figure my recent oil in my exhaust issue. I believe its coming from the turbo or at least hope its that and not something else. The truck has about 350k miles
