Hello everyone,
When performing a "home-made" coolant flush, how do I drain the coolant reservoir? I used Super-Tech (Wal-mart brand) coolant. Is that ok? I comapred ingredients with Prestone and they are exactly the same.
Thanks,
Jamie

Not to hijack your thread or anything, but what antifreeze are most people using in these trucks?

Zerex G-05 HOAT type. You can use they Mopar or even....Ford gold coolant. They are all the HOAT type. If you like the standard green, I suppose just use it and flush and fill more often.

Flush and fill every 2 years right??

HOAT is the type of coolant. Hybrid Organic Acid Technology

It is an extended drain interval coolant.

Not much help here, but since I never had good luck doing cooling system flushing, I just took the truck into the dealer for this thing.
