Dunno, can't see from here what you're doing.

Are you tying to upload from your computer or download from a picture hosting site?

if you end up flushing, make sure you flush it both ways. and make sure you top off your coolant when your done. also helps to run your heat on full blast before you flush to circulate what you can through the core. then have your truck shut down when you do flush it. then after you get everything hooked back up crank the heat back on and see if you get any heat. wouldn't hurt to do a system flush radiator and all in the summer. thats what im plannin. i know peak makes a super cleaner you mix with plain water after you drain the coolant. i dont have the guts to do it now it below freezing temps. i'd be worried it freeze.
