Textbook coolant flush...
Thanks to all who contribute to the tech folder, it was excellent guidance.
'05 F250, 68,000 mi, first flush.
Several months ago it threw the "wrench" for EOT/ECT differential towing heavy (10K#), no codes in normal driving, no coolant loss. The coolant was darker than new but no apparent oily content. I am hoping this will at least delay replacement of the oil cooler and EGR cooler.
I did install a coolant filter while I was at it also.
Again, thanks for all the technical support!
How do I post pics? I have samples of all the flushes to post if I can figure out how to post them... Probably did not need the last flush, there was no significant difference in the last two.

- 2 qts. VC-9
- 30 gal distilled water - 4.5 gal/flush
- dropped the driver side block plug and bottom rad. hose
- removed the t'stat, (dealer gave me a new "o" ring too large)
- 3.5 gal. Ford Premium Gold
I did install a coolant filter while I was at it also.

Following info is from the FAQ section of the forum. There is lots of good info there on general forum usage.

How do I add an image to a post?
If you have uploaded an image as an attachment, you can click the arrow next to the 'Attachment Icon' and select it from the list. This will be inserted into your post and can be located where you want it displayed.
To include an image that is not uploaded as an attachment and is located on another website, you can do so by copying the full URL to the image, (not the page on which the image is located), and either pressing the 'Insert Image' icon or by typing [img] before the URL and [/img] after it, ensuring that you do not have any spaces before or after the URL of the image. You can insert pictures from your albums (?) in this way too.
