[QUOTE="Todd Z, post: 560494, member: 58941"] Quote: I would use the matching color from ford... The universal stuff is a good idea, But not in my book.. Also simply draining ( by opening the drain on the bottom of the radiator and removing the cap) and re filling Only will change about 1/2 the fluid... The best way is to use a radiator machine. This will flush and sediment out and replace 100% of the fluid... Todd Z On the bottom of the radiator, Under the plastic splash shield, there is a drain. With the truck cold, open the rad cap, open the drain and let it drain... Close the drain, fill with the proper mixture, and then start the truck., Once the thermostat opens the coolant level should drop.. Fill more and replace the cap, and fill the over flow.. Drive the truck for a little bit and re check the levels... Todd Z [/QUOTE]
