My son has a 1999 Grand Am,2.4 Lit. He brought it to Jiffy Lube to have the radiator flushed, but they couldn't get one of the hoses off to do it. I wasshocked to hear they want 80 dollars to do it. I've always done my own with a kit you can purchase for a few bucks. You just cut the heater hose and install the adapter. I'm not sure if this will work on his because he doesn't have a radiator cap for the old fluid to get out of the system.
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank's
Zack

80$ is cheap! The dealer would probley run you around $150-200.
I hav never had any luck with those in line flush kits, on new cars anyway. All of my pre 90s cars hav them installed.

The best way I hav found is remove the thermostat, its on the bottom of the engine on 2.4s, and drain all the coolant you can.
To drain the rad. thiers a white plastic wing or a place to insert a 3/8 ratchet, they usually are stuck and can break, If this is stuck try removing the larger hoses and spray into them and flush/push everything(coolant) out. It drains to the side.
Fill up the resivour and run for a few(wouldnt hurt to use Rdiator flush/cleaner at this time)minutes. Just repeat rinse 4-5 times if you use some sort of cleaner, and you should be ready to rock-&-roll!
