Coolant flush procedure

[firefighter_2000]

I've looked around and have found several different opinions on the proper way to drain/flush/refill the coolant system on my 2013. Since it has the dual radiators, I was wondering if the procedure is different or more difficult. Planning on going back with the same coolant.
Any pointers on getting the best flush & refill would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Craig

I’ve done my ‘14 quite a few times. I remove the front passenger tire and inner fender liner. There is now easy access to the bottom hose. I pull the bottom hose and it pretty much all drains out. Put back together and refill.
You might not even have to remove the tire or the liner, I just do it cause it keeps me outside longer.

Really, the only way to actually "flush" it is with a machine, and even then you don't get it all.
@TRAMPLINEMAN procedure above is about the only thing you can do at home.
As for new coolant, I buy the MOPAR purple concentrate off ebay or amazon and then cut it 50/50 with distilled water, much cheaper than buying the already diluted stuff.

Did this on mine also. Just remember to open the bleed bolt to allow the air to escape out of the system as you refill! Makes for purging the air out much faster. I used a 5 gal bucket with a large catch pan/funnel to direct into the bucket. Not worth trying to refill with distilled water for a flush. Next time when you change out again, compare difference to see if you would need to do sooner. A little maintenance will go long way in overall health and performance of your truck! If you haven't already done, start a log book to keep track of what you've done. Helps keep track and resale if you can ever part with your TRUCK! Enjoy these Trucks!!

I actually have an app that I’ve kept track of every bit of maintenance & even fuel up!
