JP....no not this overweight old guy. Lol. I just have a sweet side (I know, not possible), but I do. The women love it. My wife hated it. I always tip women servers more than men, unless the guy is super.
I know this is wrong, but I'm not into guys with tight pants, but definitely all for women this way.

This is similar to the old Snappy tool. This one uses an air chuck, but his was modified to use a regulator and hose to a quick disconnect fitting. Easy thing to use that way, this one, might be a bit tough to hold and pressurize.

 

That looks pretty similar to the one I bought on Amazon....

 

Huh, never new they made one just for flushing. What will they think of next lol.

I find the attachments needed fishing through the water hose crap drawer. I can't believe how much of that crap I've collected over the years. I could keep that stuff more organized if I used two drawers....but come on. I'm not giving up another drawer for stinkin garden hose stuff lol.

 

Welp drove the escape today, both hoses are hot, torque app read 190-192. Heater was up to 128 on the driver side so that will do for now...BUT here's the new confusing thing. Heat is consistently 10° LESS on the passenger side and if I turn it up to fan speed 4 the thermometer temp drops. Fan Low almost feels like nothing coming out and i swear (but could just be going crazy) that heat output drops a little at idle and warms up while driving (about 10° difference)

 

Yea that one doesn't have the air fitting. BUT, in most cases all you need or aloud to use lol (only funny to those with that earned experience). The piece AK posted can be deadly..a biatch to use (by it's self) safely, IF you choose to incorporate a compressed air flush assist. But can be extremely handy as a quick fix for a plugged up core..very very handy lol.

Anyway, to make that much more exceptional, you need an in inline regulator or GOOD shut off ball valve at the smart end.

Actually, I've been using mine this winter every once in awhile. I keep the storage and waste tanks full in the trailer while it's sitting. I rinse and sanitize every now and again. This way I can test the flowjet grinder/waste pump system and plumbing system components.

EDIT: Ah,- I read AK's reply again and noticed he does incorporate a regulator...I missed that earlier. Yea, that's the only way. Come to think of it, who was that - Eric the ca r g uy I think. I watched him blast a plugged core on you t ube way back when....funny as hell because he doesn't hide or edit, -the real deal. Anyway, I think back fired on him once lol.

 

Our fast service tech blew one up on the floor one morning after a big drunk. He forgot to set his regulator at 20# like he had done previously many times. This time is was set at normal for his air grinder. That thing blew antifreeze everywhere over the inside the cabin of the F350 dually that he was working on. It took them a while to clean the interior pieces and get them back to us to reinstall. I was rolling on the floor laughing at the mess, I wouldn't have to clean up. lol

 

ROFL hahaha. Mann, that would be hilarious...I can just see that happening lol.

I haven't worked on a plugged core in a very long time..I think my dad learned me. I recall him saying , okay stand back...further back, - keep goin lol. IF done right and gradually, you can restore a core good enough to last a good long time. I like using a well built ball valve vs those cheap little regulators. Not on the compressor itself, but under the hood...just in case lol.
That thoughts in the back of my mind plague..you know the one, about the few ways that this could go terribly wrong. And the mess your left with..
Yea that tech should of stayed in bed that day lol.

 

We had a bad week I remember well. The tech with the antifreeze fiasco, our tire tech blew 2 of his fingers off with a 20 inch split rim ring coming off on fill up, and my boss breaking 3 ribs in a snowmachine racing accident. LOL

I forgot, our radiator shop repair guy got overcome by caustic acid fumes that week also. Our Insurance was having fits, as you can imagine. Our's also covered our private insurance back then.

 

Shoot AK, you had a dangerous job, the place could of used a medic on site! Who know's you could of got nailed by a flying finger or some form of carnage there.

No shortage of split rim horror stories...every shop has them it seams, specially trucking shops. My daughters x bf lost just the tip of one finger working on one...lucky. I know they have taken the life out of some, most likley many!

 

Has everyone seen the newer GEICO commercial of "Washington Crossing the Delaware, River"? Anyways at the end is a super clean GEN 10 in white, a reg cab holding the front of traffic on the left. It looks like new.

In another commercial just out is another GEN 10 in the main part of it. I'll see it again and post it. It might be regional. It has a very nice 150 SB FS in it. All dressed up.
