No arguments here.  I'm considering trying to find a place to flush the
cooling system on my van, personally.  It needs a good flush/fill to get
out all the soot from when the head gasket blew, but I don't have access
to a garden hose so my ability to properly flush it myself is limited --
the best I could do is drain it and refill it.  Anyone know of a good shop
for this in the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti area?
