Coolant change
Howdy. Did a search but didn't find much info on the actual change of the coolant, just the alarm messages on checking the coolant. I'm about to delete but also need to change out the coolant. I read a couple of recommendations to take to dealer for the flush since we have a primary and secondary system. Is that the major consensus? I've always done coolant changes myself but a lot changes with these trucks. Please provide your input as I'm guessing I should get the coolant changed prior to the delete. Thanks!

That's just about right Darren. I don't think I've ever been able to get over 100,000 miles without something needing service which involves using new coolant. Kind of a bummer but it is what it is.....usual culprit is radiator, my 2011 lost a water pump though as well. Both happened before coolant change was needed. Then I got a whole new motor and it was due for new coolant when I sold it at 242,000.
So, since 2007, I've never been able to keep a powerstroke cooling system intact long enough to change out the coolant on schedule. That's something like 5 trucks (business uses 2 trucks, one of them is mine). Pretty sad.....
