HELP !! Cooling system Flush 2001 SCREW
Good morning All,
A few years back I found a thread with detailed pics and instructions on how to flush my cooling system ( '01 Screw 5.4 ). I've searched high and low and cant find this thread. Does anyone have it or can someone post a link to the thread. Need to do a flush and thermostat change this coming weekend.
btw - whomever decided to make a forum for F-150's - you are a god !! - I have found tons and I do mean ton's of helpful info on this over the years.
Thanks !

There should be two block drain plugs on either side of your engine, and the pet**** of your radiator. Stick your water hose in the overflow tank and open these three plugs. The water will flush out any junk, rust whatever. You can add some coolant flush but I have little experience with it. After that start adding distilled water and coolant. I've always used well water, but others will say used distilled water.
