It is October 23rd 2024 and thanks to this video I found the plug

THANKS FOR PONTING OUT THAT ELUSIVE RED PLUG. thumbs up!!! i WENT OUT AND BOUGHT 4 GALLONS OF 50/50 MIX BY PRESTONE PLATINUM SPECIFICALLY FORMULATED FOR FORD, LINCOLN, MERCURY, THE ORANGE STUFF. I AM FLABERGASTED, AND CONFUSED ON THE WHOLE PROCESS. THAT RED DRAIN PLUG DOESN'T DRAIN THE ENTIRE RADIATOR, AND OVERFLOW TANK. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO EXTRACT ABOUT 1 GALLON AND THE DRAINING STOPPED. i WAS TOLD THE ENTIRE SYSTEM IS ABOUT 15 QUARTS, WHICH IS FOUR GALLONS. I ADDED DISTILLED WATER TO THE MIN MARK, RAN THE TRUCK, REVED UP THE TRUCK TO 3500 RPM, LET IT COOL, THEN DRAINED IT AGAIN, I DID THIS FOUR TIMES, AND STILL ONLY GOT A MORE DILUTED MIX OF ANTIFREEZE OUT OF THE RED DRAIN PLUG. THIS IS A BIG WASTE OF TIME, AND FORD EXPECTS YOU TO KEEP DOING THIS ABOUT SEVEN TIMES, EACH TIME YOU KEEP DILUTING THE OLD ANTIFREEZE TO GET IT OUT. WHY NOT JUST DRAIN THE RADIATOR COMPLETELY??? i GOT SO SICK OF FILLING WITH WATER, RUNNING THE TRUCK, THEN EMPTYING IT. SO i STOPPED. THEN WHEN I WAS READY TO FILL WITH NEW COOLANT, IT ONLY TOOK ONE FULL BOTTLE OF ANTIFREEZE, JUST ONE FULL BOTTLE? YEAH, BECAUSE THE BLOCK IS FULL OR THE NEW WATER YOU PUT IN, AND IT'S STUCK IN THERE. PROBABLY SAME AS THE RADIATOR THAT YOU CANNOT FULLY EMPTY. SO I TOOK THE OTHER THREE GALLONS OF PRESTONE BACK TO WALMART FOR A REFUND, AND NOW I'M DRIVING WITH NOT A 50/50 MIX OF PRESTONE, BUT SOMETHING QUITE DILUTED FURTHER THAN THE PROPER MIX. IS THIS THE WAY ITS SUPPOSED TO BE? WHAT HAPPENS WHEN OUR MICHIGAN WEATHER FREEZES, WILL THE WATER THAT IS STUCK N THE SYSTEM FREEZE? I REMEMBER A TIME WHEN YOU EMPTIED THE RADIATOR, YOU COULD PRACTICALLY SEE TO THE BOTTOM. THERE'S NOT EVEN A CAP FOR THE RADIATOR. EVERYTHING BYPASSES TO THE OVERFLOW TANK. CAN SOMEONE ENLIGHTEN ME???

Why did people liked this video? It’s the worst video I’ve ever watched.

But now one question remains how much bottles of coolant do you need for it to refill

Great video

Anybody know the torque settings on the 8mm bolts?

Thank you.

Not to much ro show😮😮

Wish more videos were like this lol

Appreciate that, Michael Myers.

Where's all the foreplay? I'm not used to getting straight to the point lol

brotha I need to drain the antifreeze to change it ????

Less talk and right to the point! Thanks, like and subscribe from me.

So good he can do this with one hand behind his back…or holding a phone.

Thanks

On another channel they said changing the thermostat in computer regulated cars can improve gas mileage as the thermostat temperature can change with age and cause the computer to change fuel consumption based on engine temperature. What say you?

Has anyone had success in doing this replacement to stop the engine coolant fan from running high speed constantly in hotter weather? Mine has done that the last 2 summers and Ford has told me they can't figure out why. I got wind from another youtube video that it may be the lack of a Motorcraft thermostat (or one that needs replacement).

Thank you Sir.

Perfect! Your awesome thx

No life story. No reading of his diary. Just straight to f’ing point without saying a single word! This man is a RUclips DIY GOD!! Thank you

Thanks steve

Do you not have a speaking voice

Hate that cooling system, buy the Ford Thermostat and the o-ring goes after the thermostat goes in.

Nuff said

appreciate it

Thanks man

Thank you. That was a tough one to find without your "map".

I'm just curious I noticed coolant in your Reservoir but when you opened the thermostat housing not a drop came out how do you empty the coolant from the engine and not have it leak down from the reservoir or top part of the engine

Is it better to set the thermostat with less threshold temperature for keep engine with less working temperature? If yes, how to do that?

Should you replace the thermostat too if you're going to replace the water pump?

Absolutely awesome! No 15 min of bullshit self-promotion and bla bla bla that is not needed. Simple to the point. Thanks!

That's sad that my 2016 f150 platinum 3.5 eco doesn't have it at that location. Starting to think if i should just take off one of the hoses at the bottom of the radiator.😢

Anyone know what the metal t on top of the thermostat housing is called?

Nice... A man of few words, but great pictures. Does the thermostat come with a new gasket?

Do i detect a tone of sarcasm? Lol . .Thanks.

well done.

Thanks

My kind of video. No words all action

Did you drain the coolant? Thanks in advance

Should just grunt and point like a caveman

Steve, great video thanks! I know its rare, but I had my cooling system tested and it came back indicating the T-stat housing was damaged. Any videos on how to replace the housing?

What that plastic elbow called coming out from the bottom of the coolant reviser tank

How to change coolant Ford F-150 platinums plzz help me ❤️ I followed you to more vid

how do i know when i need more fluid

Is it that small red circle at the end of your video?

in typical ford fashion its in a crappy location (over the crossmember) and draining it is a mess...God forbid it be a few inches over

Does the plug screw all the way out? I can see where the fluid drains through the little port,, which is an obvious bitch because you're laying right underneath it, but I'm hesitant to back mine all the way out for fear that the plug will come all the way out too

Presented by a mime... Thanks MIME

For the 3.5 non turbo?

Idk why but my 2018 does not have it in that location. Just spent an hour under the truck with your video and I do not see that drainage plug
