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

[@peterhernandez3790]

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

[@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.

[@bearing_aficionado]

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

[@Andy-rk9mu]

Thanks for the great video. I followed the steps and only getting 1.5 gallons when draining (I have the same engine 5.4). How much coolant you get out of the system at once?

[@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..

[@MrRebelss]

That's correct and what he should have done.

[@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.

[@victorliu5665]

how often do you recommend to chang the coolant on 23 v8 xlt? thanks

[@jesseiam7182]

Good video man. It cured my problems

[@J410N528]

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.

[@danpena7922]

How many gallons of coolant?

[@shawnbish2474]

What if there is no radiator cap?

[@jeffblohm4741]

Does this also flush out the overflow?

[@Glordness]

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?

[@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?

+@DLV42 Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

I need help! 1. I drained the radiator. 2. I replace the intake manifold and thermostat. 3. Now the heater works 4. The top radiator hose gets warm but not hot 5. The lower radiator hose stays cold 6. I never hear the thermostat open 7. I never get any bubbles coming out into the funnel, Even if I burp it.

[@rubenMarquez37]

Excellent work. Thank you very much. Thank you

[@357siver]

No radiator cap on mine now what do I do

[@ejbernalo3675]

What if I don’t have a radiator cap

[@darvindwyer8083]

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

[@stevewatts8642]

Ford coolant should be either orange or the newest yellow.

[@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.

[@larrybragg4194]

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

[@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?????

[@jesseh4927]

@@ah4800I’m sure he’s referring to the amount of water left in the engine after completing multiple flushes. You are guessing at how much concentrated radiator fluid that you need to add after completing the flush.

[@DurangoBango]

Yeah because paying about the same or more for water is super smart🙄😅

[@MrRebelss]

@@ah4800 Premix is a waste of money. I like to mix mine so it's good to -35, wher it DOES get to here in Minnesota

[@jseen9568]

You must have the comprehension of a bamboo stick. Watch the video again, listen and take notes

[@DavidJames-b7q]

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

[@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.

[@ashishmaknikar4636]

Any reason why not?

[@georgehall2345]

Thanks

[@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.

كلامه سريع والكتابه سريعه لا فمهنا كلامه ولا عرفنا ترجمه لكن فهمنا بالمشاهدة اهم شيء عرفت صرة الديتر

[@knowledgeithink]

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

[@PrincipalityofZeon]

Why the hell are you using green?

[@wellyforpm]

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

[@stvargas69]

Video is not for 5.0. Not real helpful, sorry
