Although it's rare, it's possible to damage the thermostat by reverse flushing through the upper radiator hose..ask me how I know this...the thermostat tore at one of the spot welds that hold it together. OTOH, maybe the weld just let loose and THAT's why it was overheating, WTH.
Also leave the heater valve open to Hot (clockwise all the way) so the heater core gets flushed.
