Jason:
That will depend upon how old your truck is and how often you changed your
anti-freeze. Why don't you talk to a reliable mechanic or your CC dealer?
They can give you good advice and often will do the service for the same
price or less than these "Jiffy" places. For example, the CC dealer hear
in Victoria, does an oil and filter change for $29.95 (including parts)
plus an inspection.
There is also a difference between a back-flush (with water) and a chemical
rad flush ...using a fancy machine.
