Cracked Intake Manifold
I'm curious as to why you would be posting that video? Coolant exiting the engine at that rate should be fairly obvious.
When (if) you choose to do the repair, make sure to go there with a Ford OEM Intake manifold. Stay away from the junk aftermarket Dorman or other brand stuff. I've replaced more than my share of those in my time wrenching. Yes, even the aftermarket intakes too, which have lasted less than a year.

I also agree with m-chan68. With that much coolant the source should be evident. If not then something puked or it's been a long time since you looked under the hood.

See I'm always a day late and a dollar short, I missed a video of a 5.4 puking...I'd have like to seen what was going on, considering my 5.4 could be doing the same thing one day.

Well sorry you took the answers the wrong way, i know sometimes people can be harsh. That being said...don't go buying a chevy just because it's not ford...they have just as many problems. I just climbed out of a Silverado that was nothing but problems from ujoints to intake gaskets to clogged cats to abs sensors all starting at 50k miles.
