wrong coolant, dealer reflush
Taking my 03 F350 w/6.0 back to dealer for a flush on my cooling system. They flushed it back in Nov. of 07 and used VC8 and VC7B. After reading the many threads here I looked back and noticed they used the wrong stuff. Taking it in this morning for a free do over. They should be using VC9 and gold coolant, correct?

This is 2010 right? If I'm not mistaken isn't that 3 years? Please tell me it is 2010 cause I would hate to relive those past two years. Lol

VC7-B is Motorcraft Premium Gold; They used VC-8 instead of VC-9

Agreed... It's one thing for someone to make a mistake (it happens) but it's another thing not to correct it.

Kudos for the dealership to make it right!
