You should unhook BOTH of the front hoses, by the spare tire, where they
connect to the 2 main pipes. Then flush through all 4 front openings,
one at a time. Then you should remove the thermostat, leave the housing
open, and flush through all 4 front openings again, making sure the
heater valve is set to hot, namely open.
