How to add coolant to a Ford 4.6L?
Squeeze the upper radiator hose a few times to force air pockets out of the piping. 6) Turn the heater temp control to hot. Start the engine and let it idle but occasionally rev the engine a bit to dislodge any trapped air. Add coolant to keep the funnel full if necessary.
Why is my Ford 4.6L coolant still warm?
Keep the engine running just until the thermostat starts to open a bit. (About 170-172° with our thermostat) When this happens the upper radiator inlet will be warm to the touch. (It is normal for tiny air bubbles to still be escaping out of the funnel- this happens because the system is open and unpressurized.)
Where is the coolant sensor located on a Ford?
It can usually be found in the outlet, but sometimes it is placed directly on the vehicle thermostat housing. The unit has a special threaded housing where it can be screwed into. The thermistor itself, as befits the heart of the part, is inside a special case.
What happens when you add coolant to the engine?
Add coolant to keep the funnel full if necessary. You will notice many large air pockets escaping at first but eventually the level will rise in the funnel as temperature goes up expanding the coolant. Keep the engine running just until the thermostat starts to open a bit.

Which is coolant is right for your Ford truck?
No towing package, no HD anything, nothing. That said, is it suggested that I use Extended Life/Dex-Cool coolant (like Prestone Extended Life), or should I change over to the green stuff (Ford Premium Engine Coolant, spec ESE-M97B44-A)?
What kind of coolant is in a 99 F150?
What I also found interesting is that the supposed orange coolant was only used in the ’99-02 Cougar, but my ’99 F150 has the orange stuff as a factory fill. Truck has nothing special on it, except for a 6300# GVWR package (according to the window sticker) which includes a 9.75″ axle. No towing package, no HD anything, nothing.
