So, I've been reading here in preparation for a coolant change on my truck and have concluded that this is more complicated than the oil.
Here is the story, and my questions:
1 - The '98 Ranger calls for Dex-Cool in the manual and the most recent Ford table allows for a change to G-05 on '99 and later Rangers. What is different about my truck that it shouldn't use G-05?? Should I use Dex-Cool even though I am worried about it after reading this board?
2 - The current coolant appears to be a yellow/gold color. It was last serviced at a Ford dealer I believe. What coolant do you think is in there? Is this not the color for the Motorcraft G-05?
Once I decide on which formula to use I will tackle the issue of how to do this job. Thanks.
