Using a flush kit - which hose do put the "T" in?

Thanks,

one of the heater hoses, make sure your heater is "on" or the valve is open

It's very common to put the "T" in the hightest point of the hose coming from the back of the head. This serves as a high point of the system to aid in filling it with coolant. Too much of the system is above the filler neck of the radiator to avoid air being trapped somewhere.
