I'm sure lots of guys have seen his other video on flushing a Ram heater core,in this one he uses CLR as the flushing median.

I just did it to mine... worked fantastically well for me. I did have some concern as to whether or not the CLR would react with the aluminum in the heater core but so far so good. I didn't leave it in very long and flushed with clean water for a good 45 minutes after.
