Question on 2001 cooling system???

As you all know, you can idle one of these trucks till the cows come home and they won't warm up enough to open the thermostat. I want to drain and flush the cooling system and put on new hoses on both the rad and heater. Would like to hear how to know system is flushed good before putting on the new stuff and refilling. Thanks gents. As you might guess, I'm not much of a wrench.
