so in theory that video is great, i have seen it. But the problem is every time i go to purge air from it with or without the no spill funnel as soon as i shut off engine the coolant rushes out amd overflows funnel. Also i camt run the truck with the rad cap off for to long otherwise it overflows out of it

yes, but (based on posts in thread) you didn’t follow the actual flush procedures. I’m only guessing, but guess is that your flush chemical broke loose a bunch of sediment, but was not adequately flushed out and has now plugged up system at some point(s) which is now causing these symptoms.

As long as you aren’t not in danger of freezing, I wouldn’t even fill back with antifreeze, until after you’ve fixed the clog like symptoms you’re experiencing (ie just run it on all water to test).
when you do get done with flush, you should have ~ 100% water in system. So look up your system’s total capacity and also the block’s capacity. You’ll need both #s, so you can achieve proper final mix (and you’ll need at least some 100% coolant to get back to 50%.
good luck.
