You do realize that some of that hose water is still inside your system, you may think you flushed it all out but with this particular motor that is not realistic, you needed to pull the bottom radiator hose in order to make sure all the tap water has been removed.

@EndlessMoneyPits 2 жыл бұрын

Oh, I did not know that, so thank you for pointing that out. You don't want to leave a bunch of hose water in there. The motor in this car seemed to be heavily rusted inside the coolant passage ways, but anyone who wants to make one of these cars last should flush the coolant regularly and thoroughly. Thanks again for the helpful comment :)

@@EndlessMoneyPits that's why it's so much easier to just empty the reservoir and then use two treatments of flush at once and then mixed with the distilled water in the reservoir and don't worry about draining at this point because two treatments will take care of your issues, then when you've let the car run for a good 20 minutes or so at idle you should drain everything and pull the bottom hose off make sure your heater is on full while the treatment is running through the system, what the vehicle cool down and then do all those steps and it's always wise to change the thermostat after this is done because those flushes will damage the thermostat sometimes especially if they've been in the vehicle for a long period of time. Biggest mistake people make when they replace the thermostat is they don't put the weep hole in the north position in the thermostat housing and not doing that will cause the vehicle not to properly Purge the air out of the cooling system, when you're done filling the system fill the reservoir with a 50/50 mixture of Ford gold antifreeze and leave the cap off the overflow tank reservoir tank until all the air has been purged out this usually takes about 15 minutes after the vehicle has reached operating temperature. That will give you a perfect flush. I've owned a restoration shop for over 40 years and I always give people great advice. But thanks for putting the video out here on KZfaq.

@Wills Restorations hey there, will running the heat also flush the heater core? Seems as though it would seeing as though it is tied right into the cooling system, so long as it is in operation.

If I remember correctly, the bottom hose is hard as hell to get to. I'm just here refreshing my memory on this car as I have a friend that is wanting me to change his water pump and I was going to do a flush first.

@willsrestorations 11 ай бұрын

@@catfisher420 it depends on which motor this particular model has as it has two different motors that came equipped on this car, The 24 valve duratec or the Vulcan motor at 12 valve motor. Each of these motors are fairly simple and straightforward to remove the bottom ready of the hose. Also you would be best to flush the motor before you did your water pump so that you do not flush any hard contaminants through a new water pump, this would not be a good idea.

I'm an oil burner tech in Massachusetts and a month ago purchased a 99 mercury sable off my customer her elderly mother who passed away this past summer had purchased the car new it had been sitting for a couple years since she was disabled and it only has 57 thousand miles on it paid 800 bucks needed detailing inside and out but worth it doing this today on her as preventive maintenance only is hers does not have the splash shield

Hey Guys, It is nice to see a similar story. I paid 1000 for my silver bullet a five years ago 3rd hand with 88 thousand miles. I love this car lol She now has about 104k and been having heating issues in cab. I changed out the heater core a few years ago and then it stopped working the following winter. I now changed the actual heater core hose assembly, that sits outside the firewall, and still no heat in the cab. I don't think its the heater blower motor fan or motor resistor. So I will switch the thermostat and flush the system altogether and see if that gives me heat. I hope all is well and warm with yours. any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks Sincerely, Cold Sable

I learned a long time ago that to completely flush the system You need to remove the top radiator hose and run the engine up to operating temperature while you slowly add water at a rate to keep it full enough not to over heat. Do this for at least 5 minutes. This allows the engine to be flushed as well as the radiator and gets all the nasty stuff out. This makes a mess but it works

I'm going to be adding Rislone stop leak after I flush the system of my 2000 Ford Taurus with vulcan V6. Should I pour rislone first or after I've poured a couple of litres in?

@EndlessMoneyPits Жыл бұрын

I would never recommend using a stop leak product because they can actually clog the narrow passages of the radiator and the leaks often come back anyway. If you use it, just follow the directions. I have never used it personally.

@adamant3844 Жыл бұрын

I've used rislone before and had zero issues. To each their own.

@EndlessMoneyPits Жыл бұрын

I have heard a lot of warnings to not use it, so I wouldn't use it myself. You'll never get it out of the cooling system, so it's better to fix the leak the right way by replacing the radiator. If the car is on its way out and it doesn't make sense to put that much money into it, then I guess I can understand why you'd use a stop leak product in that situation.

Coolant capacity for this car is either 2.6 or 2.9 gallons depending on the engine, so I don't think your 1 gallon of coolant got you to 50/50

@EndlessMoneyPits Жыл бұрын

That's if you drain the block.

@idahodiy Жыл бұрын

@@EndlessMoneyPits you flushed the block multiple times in this video... youve got 1 gallon of coolant, 1 gallon of distilled water, and almost a gallon of hose water in there

@EndlessMoneyPits Жыл бұрын

I didn't drain the block there will always be some coolant left unchanged without draining the block. I drained from the radiator, which is most common.

@idahodiy Жыл бұрын

@@EndlessMoneyPits where do you think that hose water went when you ran the engine for 20 minutes? Not into the block??

The block was never completely emptied, so it didn't need to be completely refilled.

Yeah that’s not how you do it first how about purging the air . Second only use distilled water and back flushing the heater core is very important these cars can be difficult purging the air from the cooling system
