How to completely drain GM LT1 engine coolant
Due to it's unique reverse-flow cooling system, some people can be intimidated when it comes to proper cooling system maintenance on GM 5.7L LT1 and 4.3L L99 engines.
In this video I show how to completely drain the engine block of coolant on these engines. Merely draining the radiator leaves 60% of the old coolant in the block, and also does not facilitate being able to run fresh water through the cooling passages to remove sediment and rust.
Follow along as we do the process on our subject vehicle, a 1994 Chevrolet Caprice with 259,000 miles.Enjoy!

For those of you who like the second generation Trans Ams or just want a piece of classic American automotive muscle, here's a fantastic 1973 Pontiac Trans Am that's in excellent condition. Featuring the numbers matching 455ci V8 that's mounted to the original automatic transmission, this beauty shows 96,877 miles on the odometer and is classic American iron at its best. This '73 Trans Am is also well documented with window sticker and a PHS sheet to show all of its options when purchased new. How many '73 Trans Ams can you find with this much original paperwork? Not many! This baby is a true southern car and still retains all of its original sheet metal. Always a rust free car, the floor pans and trunk are also in great shape.
Lifting the hood reveals the original 455ci V8 that starts up and idles beautifully every time. Numbers match from the carb down to the original automatic transmission. Dual Exhaust with chrome tips that exit out under the rear bumper, give this piece of muscle an awesome, aggressive sound that is sure to turn heads with every stomp of the accelerator pedal. Power steering, power disc brakes, Safe-T-Trac rear differential, and the factory installed handling package which consists of the larger 15" rally (Honeycomb) wheels which are wrapped in near new radial tires and stiffer front and rear shocks. The suspension and all bushings were replaced using only OEM parts and they help give this bad boy one great feeling ride. The air conditioning is even original and has not been converted, yet it still blows cold. Walking around this gorgeous beast shows you the fantastic paint work with its base coat being a color of Cherry Red with multiple clear coats that really highlight the 5 shades of Gold Trans Am decals and Phoenix Bird on the hood.
Opening the door reveals a near flawless interior which sports front bucket seats and center console. Wrapped in black vinyl and with the front driver's seat being the only part that has been recovered, this interior really shows how well this baby has been taken care of. The original in dash AM/FM radio still works along with the original 8-track player. In the back seat you'll discover a case holding some of the best and most desired 8-track cassettes. An interior lamp group was installed at the factory and consists of luggage, glove box and instrument panel courtesy lamps. Sporting the original Formula sport steering wheel along with the Rally gauges which consist of an in dash tach and working clock, this '73 Trans Am has all the options everyone wants in a classic muscle car. So come on in to our huge indoor climate controlled showroom and grace your eyes upon this pristine 1973 Pontiac Trans Am and when you do, you'll be hard pressed to go back home without it.
