I'm gonna try to flush the system properly some time this week anyone know if I should use restore and restore + or vc9? And how should I go about it? Like I said only had the truck 2 years. Can take it apart and back together but don't know all the technicalities. Any help is greatly appreciated. Just want this thing to start treating me right. Like I treat it (sometimes) and I will get back to yall after flushing it again.

Not to hijack the thread, but if I want to keep up on my maintenance but I am not ready to replace the EGR or oil coolers yet, should I just drain my coolant and put ELC back in, or should I pour in some distilled water to flush it out a little before I put in the coolant?

So I would expect some differences, in the alloy, in the composition, ...... something that would keep the lawyers at bay and the Ford labeled product unique.

To your point Mark, the friction material we sold to the foundation brake manufacturer who then sold it to Ford, could not be sold in the aftermarket. The contracts included Ford's terms, so the design or formulation was forever tied to that application, and that application only (unless Ford wanted it on another of their applications).

It's really normal operating procedure in order to be an OE supplier. The parts ownership becomes Fords if you want the contract.
I had written about 6 paragraphs until, I realized no one wants to read someone rambling on.
