Replacing the coolant system on a 2000 Mazda b2500 2.5L.So far, new radiator, clean and test the sending unit and the sensor, replace the thermostat. flushed the heater core, got clean water but it didn't come out very hard or fast, but I didn't force it in so what goes in comes out? Replaced the heater control valve but need to find out which hoses go to which ports, don't want to put them on reversed. I'm going to check vacuum hose next, if it's no vacuum, how do I find it? I know where it ends but where does it start? Can I reroute it? Kind of hard if I can't find the beginning. Don't think I left anything out but I'm all ears,Thanks, and a special thanks to Jammin.

I took pictures today of my 2000 that came with a 2.5. I'll upload them as soon as I can find a USB cord....

Yep, thats it,except, Going by a dealer diagram yours is backwards.I'll need to find out how to send you a picture over this site. The port on the left should be on the right and pointed up to accept the left side hose to core, Then, I need to find out which feed hose goes to what will now be facing down. I have hose to thermostat on left and the hose from water pump T on right. Give me a school on using the picture sending stuff. Thanks
