how do u flush the entire coolant system then? if that has mixed coolant, wouldn't it be bad?

Mixed coolant shouldn't hurt anything. Mosts coolants you buy are compatible with dexcool.

You can go to wal mart or autozone and buy a kit for like 15 bucks. I used it on my s10. It basically taps into the heater hoses located on the firewall, and then you hook up a garden hose to it, start the engine and open the tab underneath the radiator. Once you open that, turn on the hose, and start the truck up, it will start flushing it out. I just followed the directions, and when i was doing it i could see all the dirt and grime coming out of the nozzle attached to the heater hose. it works really well and cleans it out pretty good.

Just so you know guys, standard green coolant + orange dexcool = sludgey mess that gums up your water jackets. unless it says use with any color/type do NOT try it. So thing about the chemical make up of dexcool causes it to gel and adding regular coolant makes it happen almost overnight.
