I've finished this project and am glad I did it. Plenty of gunk was flushed out of the system. It is good to know that the coolant is fresh.

Dexcool is a fine coolant but it is critical that you get all air purge out of the system and keep the coolant level full. Air in the cooling system with Dexcool causes a glop brown sludge to form over time. Big mess.
