How can I flush out my radiator, it is covered and I cant get to it. Is there another way to do this? And how can I check to see if the thermostat needs to be replaced or not.

Radiator flushes can be done by using the upper and lower rad hoses to get the water in and let it out. Be sure to drain all coolant out into a drain pan and dont let it into the drainage system, it is poisonous to animals. At that mileage, I would replace the thermostat as a preventative measure
