Okay everyone, 1994 Mustang GT, 5.0 HO. Began following the following directions to change coolant:
First: Remove the thermostat ( if you do buy a new one).
Second: Drian all of the fluid ( drain will be located on bottom left or right of radiator, its just a little plastic bolt).
Third: Cap the drains, replace your thermostat and fill the radiator with the suggested or correct amount of radiator flush.
Fourth: Fill the remainder of the radiator with water all the way up to the fill line.
Fifth: Start the engine and let it run for 10-20 min.
Sixth: Drain the water same way as coolant.
Seventh: Fill the radiator with just water to the fill line, than start the engine and let it run for 10 min. Repeat this step another 2 or 3 times to get all of the flush out.
Eight: Drain what is left of the water, than close the drain.
Nine: Fill your radiator with 50/50, coolant/water and your done!
Got through step 2 and I'm confused. Coolant is drained from radiator, but what am I supposed to do to drain block/resiviour. Not sure that it matters, but it turns out car didn't have a thermostat in it (Thanks PO) Anyway, I'm not well versed on coolant flushes so if someone could tell me the steps needed to finish, that'd be great. Thanks!
