I did a "drain" and refill. The car doesn't have a radiator drain, so I used a method where you disconnect a hose called the "purge line". I start the car and as the coolant is draining in a bucket, I refill the surge tank with new coolant. I drained 2 Gallons and refilled with 2 Gallons.

This was done in February 2019;
2007 F150, 4.2 V6, 150K miles
Out-ZEREX G-05 (Flush and fill @ 100K miles)
Motorcraft VC-1 Flush
In-Motorcraft Gold coolant with distilled water
Out-Factory thermostat
In-Motorcraft RT-1145 thermostat (XL3Z-8575-BA)
I had a Ford shop foreman replace the camshaft synchronizer in my engine. Being the thermostat was easy to get to while doing this work, I had him replace my thermostat and do a coolant flush and fill.

Part of a water pump replacement. The small bypass/overflow hose broke off on the plastic connector while it was hot the next day, sprayed me with coolant so another 1/4 gallon went in after that. Kicking myself for not noticing the worn part the day before.
