Its an '05

 

A 05 "what" is the question then. Because a 05 F150 doesn't have a cap on the radiator, it has a degas bottle with a pressure cap on it.

The washer fluid resovor is different then my 06

 

Is it even an F-150? I have an '05 and the coolent resevoir does not look anything like yours.

 

I assumed '05 b/c thats what his profile says, and this is posted in the 04-07 section... Ok, yeah just looked at mine and its completely different... my coolant is gold colored btw...

 

Ok, here: https://www.f150online.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=286894 he says:
So I assume this is the truck in question...

 

looks like corrosion from under the hood which should be fine.

The green anti freeze and the fact the radiator cap is actually on the radiator tells me that this isnt a 05 Truck

 

I don't understand what the question is. Those pics he posted look just fine to me. My 06 should be perfectly clean IMO, but that little bit of corrosion on a 2-3 yr old truck is perfectly fine in my book.

So what is the proper anti-freeze? Seems like the majority have gold/amber colored coolant.

 

It's a chevy because it says "Delphi" on the fuse box.

 

Nice catch!

 

Delphi is Daimler Chrysler... isn't it? Chevy is AC Delco.

Either way... off to General... it's had a happy life here in the 04+ forum.

That coolant looks terrible to me..... When was the last time it was changed? If it's been recently, then there is some contamination going on by probably a blown head gasket or something....

It should be a lot 'clearer' then that... Looks kinda 'milky' to me.....

Geez.

Flush the radiator.

 

Delphi was part of GM but got spun off to be it's own entity. It was also the first of the large parts suppliers to file bankruptcy.

They make automotive components for a whole lot of manufacturers though.
