Why aren’t you using the Ford recommended yellow coolant?

[@peterhernandez3790]

I was wondering where the drain was at. Video very helpful. Thanks

[@bearing_aficionado]

I've been watching videos about doing this and lord behold you guys drop a video! Awesome!

[@briandavis1896]

I would assume before draining radiator you should open the ventilation controls to the "hot" position, to let the heater-core drain coolant out so the system is as empty as possible before the flushing procedure is done . Just my opinion.. Good video though..

[@abnpanzer8229]

The number of times I've removed the 'funnel' without squeezing the pipe and then wiping up the spilled coolant is embarrassing. A simple recommended fix that never entered my mind.

No radiator cap. I have a 2012 F150 5.0. I don’t see a radiator cap. If I don’t have one, how would I do this?

[@vinhgolf]

Same here…don’t see cap to drain . Any ideas ?

[@hancowman7622]

You have to rely on the overflow tank it works fine.

On my 2012 F-150 Lariat 4x4 5.0, I recently replaced the heater core hoses, radiator upper & lower hoses, thermostat housing, purge valve, coolant hose and added 2 gallon of anti-freeze. I noticed a difference in the way the gears are changing, and it’s driving or riding better. By making all these changes, can it really help the truck to run better?

[@fordstoolreviews9964]

Just drain it and buy pre mix. There's no point in trying to guesstimate. And it's worth it not risking damaging the engine.

[@ah4800]

Lol what. How hard is half n half?????

[@jesseiam7182]

Good video man. It cured my problems

[@BM-vj1px]

It’s not hard to mix guys. Just buy a 1 gallon jug of distilled water and mix it with a 1 gallon jug of coolant. Then you spend half the money. Not that hard of a concept.

[@shawnbish2474]

What if there is no radiator cap?

[@DLV42]

Excellent video I learned a lot thanks . Coolant funnel an aid in doing it right . Would it be ok to add radiator cleaner to system with water ( after draining system) and then run system with cleaner to get a good flush job?

[@jeffblohm4741]

Does this also flush out the overflow?

[@darvindwyer8083]

The year models mentioned in the title are incorrect and tbe wrong coolant was used.

[@deanmaccrone7170]

When you drain the radiator you pretty much only drain half the system. How do you drain the whole system? My other comment is why not do a video that has the coolant system the 5.0 uses which has NO radiator cap on the radiator.

[@DavidJames-b7q]

My 2013 f150 3.5 eco boost doesn’t have a radiator cap. So now what?

[@jasoncharles6980]

Ford stopped putting that motor in the F150 in 2010. This does not apply to F150s 2011 - 2014, those engines were the ecoboost and 5.0 V8.

[@carriecree1789]

No, if you have more than 100k miles/12 years old, don't flush your rust holes clear in the radiator. Just drain and refill it.

[@stevewatts8642]

Ford coolant should be either orange or the newest yellow.

[@danpena7922]

How many gallons of coolant?

[@larrybragg4194]

Mine has a red cap and it’s hard can’t even get it To turn lol

[@georgehall2345]

[@wellyforpm]

That truck should not have green coolant. And you put a hose on the pet cock drain...

[@knowledgeithink]

Does it matter what engine the F150 has where the drain will be?

[@PrincipalityofZeon]

Why the hell are you using green?

[@stvargas69]

Video is not for 5.0. Not real helpful, sorry
