You'll want to make sure there is no detergent left in the cooling system when you are done if you go that route. If you do use detergent please take photos and let us know how it goes.
It seems that the purple power versus simple green came up a lot in google. Consensus seems to go with Simple Green HD. If the pros at my trans shop uses it, it must be the way to go. Yes, I saw a video of where all the hose connectors and that drain plug near the thermostat in a video. Going to also change out the thermostat and housing as well. A lot easier to do while all the coolant is out. I'm going to remove the thermostat and then do the flush, this way nothing is blocking the flow while it warms up. Pics for sure will come.
