Going to be doing the coolant on my 2011 f150 this year and just wanted to see if anybody here had thoughts. It's spec'd for Ford Orange which is basically dexcool so I plan on running motorcraft/zerex/napa depending on price. Radiator petcock is easily accessible but is there any block drains to pull? Any funky issues with refilling and trapped air? At this time I don't plan to rinse touch the thermostat but is any type of over the counter flush a good idea?
Also, not a big fan of letting others do my work but if flushing is a good idea is it worth it to let the dealer do this for $110? First though says no because a couple simple radiator drain and fills are easy and cheap...
