The world of Powerstroke engine maintenance is in a better place because of Ron. I was, and still am, saddened by news of his fatal accident 6-7 years ago. Rest in peace Ron, and thank you for your awesome contributions.

years later Ron is still helping us. Thank you for all your hard work making these videos sir. RIP Ron.

It's incredible you still continue to help us in your videos as when you taught us in the workshop, it was a pleasure to work by your side, I remember you and I miss you, my friend RIP 😪

You are surely missed Ron, you have and still help me on my 6.0 , I'm so glad your family has left your videos for us to enjoy, sometime i get bored and just start watching your helpful videos RIP Ron knowing you were a very dedicated and helpful to us ford mechanics. ❤

Ron was an awesome guy, still continuing to help. Thanks Ron, May God continue to bless his family.

Ron just helped me out again. I'm so glad he lives on via You Tube. God bless him, and his family.

The amount of times Ron’s videos have helped me are incredible. I must have watched every one 5 times. Wish you were still around to spread your amazing knowledge. RIP Ron I’m sure you are looking down with a smile seeing everyone fix their diesels

When he says “drain it into a waste bucket”. What I heard is “park the truck in the corner of my gravel drive way

Here's a factoid for everyone here. Sani-Flush started out as a radiator cleaner. When engines were made of steel, copper, lead, and cast iron it worked wonderfully. Then came aluminum parts and Sani-Flush eats aluminum. In one of the greatest product marketing decisions in history they repackaged and remarketed it as the toilet cleaner we know today. I still have an old magazine ad for Sani-Flush engine flush.

I accidentally put oil where my antifreeze should go and i camr thruu yo channel and just wanted to let uk how incredible u are u saved me I thought i was done bc of the dumb mistake of putting oil in the wrong place! Rest easy my guy 🕊and hope god continues to bless your family!

Rons still helping me out! God bless his family!

Awesome Ron, thanks. I'm doing the in-depth extreme lifetime maint/rework on my 7.3 Excursion after a wreck, she's coming back to life. This is one of the many areas that will have my undivided attention. Thanks for all the assistive vids, you and a few others have helped me immeasurably with my Diesel issues, coming from newbie 6yrs ago to feeling fairly competent. Have a great Christmas- Paul

I really appreciate what your doing for us Ron I work for a International Dealer in Canada and I use a lot of your tips and trick when I'm working Thank You Guyllaume

Heater hose off is the part that helped mine the most.Over all great advice.

These videos are very informative and surprisingly, quite relaxing! Thank you so much! Keep up the good work!

Absolutely one of the most informative videos I’ve seen. Learned a lot, and I’ll be watching it again tomorrow, while I’m flushing my V10, and hopefully just replacing the oil cooler. Thx.

I've been using Casade to flush my cooling system for over 30 years. The nice thing with Cascade, which you can't do with commercial flushing chemicals, is you can actually drive the car with it in the system if you have to. Plus Cascade makes the system smell good. Cascade not only cleans out grease and oil it also breaks down hard water deposits from the radiator and heater core.

God bless you Ron thank you for the help. I’m grateful that your knowledge lives on in your videos

Thank you Ron. I’m about to flush out my 6.0 after a blown oil cooler and this was very helpful. RIP to a legend your videos helped me fix every issue I’ve had

Thanks a lot. I have struggled using various radiator flushing products to no avail for the last 18 months. Today your method with dishwasher powder worked. Had to do it 3 times and lots of flushing, but came right. Saw you video last night and it was an Eureka moment. Thanks from Africa.

I went through this same problem with my 86 F-250 6.9 Diesel a good 4 years ago. One morning I had engine oil in the Coolant Bottle. It was my Oil cooler that had failed and puked oil into the cooling system. I first changed out all the rubber hoses, the Block Heater and the Thermostat. (I may have removed the T-stat for the flushes) Removed the Coolant Bottle and got it washed out. After R&Ring the OC, I had to do 6 flushes using Cascade. Filled up the cooling system and drove around to get the engine up to operating temp. Came home and drained the radiator and the two Block Drains. let the engine cool, and ran through it again. After it was cleaned out, I did 6 flushes with Distilled Water. Then filled it with the proper fleet charge coolant. Mixed my own coolant and distilled water, 50/50 mix. It`s a slow process if you want it totally clean.

Where you are may God bless you a thousand times more ... just wacht you amazing video. Thanks ot the Family and all your descendents .... met you today and what great help. many blessings bro. cheers

This man was really something special.

Very well done, Ron.

Don't know how many thousands of dollars you have saved me, but can't thank you enough Ron. I'm sure GOD saved a special place for you my friend.

DTR is a legend. Helping me again. RIP

Your still the man Ron keep up the good work

Awesome vid as always Ron, rest easy

thank you very much this will save me a lot of time I have heard that you have to drain from two separate points up under the engine one requires the starter to be removed but as of right now I have good looking coolant I would just like to flush it so I know it's done right again thank you for your time you make great videos

Absolutely wonderful video!!! Great information material!!!

RIP Ron and may god look over your family.

To clean my bottle I've removed it from the car block all the holes poured gasoline in there shake it around then wash it thoroughly with dish soap a few times looks good as new

You sound kinda like Bill Murray in Caddy Shack haha, great videos BTW

🙏 🙏🙏 Thanks Ron your video and knowledge lives on within us!

Great video & tips, thanks for sharing.

Great videos again. Thanks.

Awesome video! Thanks!

Would it help to remove thermostat, as I imagine it would be oil contaminated

well this is fabulous,it cleaned my car thoroughly thanks man, ive been watching thousands of foolish advice from youtube, and this was the best

Thanks Ron, the 6.0 has some nice block drain plugs but not sure if the 7.3 does. If the truck isn't from the rust belt they are easy to find on the 6.0. Is there any benefit to using them during the flush?

Thanks this is exactly what I have to do as well oil makes my water boil and rush out

Works good in neglected cooling systems too, ive done this before in a Saturn sl2 with dexcool and regular green mixing and it flushed all the coagulation out and refilled it with 50/50 no problems yet

Good teaching. Thanks

thanks for all your help. question to you, got peanut butter in my colant. change head gasket but need to clan the colant system. do you recommend doing this?? Toyota 94 pick up 22r ...

Thanks for some great information!

how many minutes/hours does it take for the flushing? my service advisor told me they need 2 days minimum for flushing only due to coolant and oil that mixed. the car is still under warranty.

I have a 2000 F-250 super duty XL with the 5.4L and I'm wanting to drain it before it gets cold will this procedure work just fine on my truck ?

super video I'm your fan.Thank you

great tip!

Thanks for this video. It helped a lot with flushing the diesel contaminates in the coolant. ✌️😉😎👍

Great video, one question what about doing this in winter when the water you are introducing is freezing, is there risk of cracking a head or block from such sudden temp change?

Looks like a nice idea

do you have any videos on flushing a 6.4

thank you for posting

Great I have a car with a defected transmission cooler and had been replaced unfortunately after several time still see contamination in the cooling system kindly advise

cool thanks Ron.!

GREAT video! Thank you! I'm still hoping my truck is alright on my 2000 F250 with the V10 gas engine. I believe my oil cooler went bad. I replaced the oil cooler and the radiator with new parts. Did the t-stat today but It's still getting hot (even though my damn gauge on my dash does not indicate it - my scanner does however.) I shut it down at 225F so I don't cause any damage. No warm air through my heater core yet. The engine runs just fine. I'm hoping that if I put enough hours into it I'll be successful. It pukes sludge out of the overflow each time it gets heated up. I definitely can't go anywhere with it. Wish me luck. Thanks again for your video. I liked and subbed.

I have a 97 VW Jetta GLS and the oil cooler failed and I got so much oil in my cooling system the thermostat won't even open to circulate the coolant

Excellent vid there and thank you to Clint Eastwood for the narration:)

I still can’t believe this man has left us. RIP

Do you let the engine cool off on the second and third flush to make sure you dont crack the engine block?

you do know that all automatic dish-washing powder has bleach in it, unless specified on the box?

Thanks for the video. Very helpful onez doing the same on my e46 320d. I got an oil cooler failure.@

What happens if you don't get it all out and keep running it that way?

good advice

Does anyone have a link to the adapter he points out at 8:59 ? I can't wait to clean all of the crap out of my system but I want to do it right. Thanks everyone!

Any idea on why I have diesel on my coolant? I have a 2001- 7.3

Thanks Ron..... we miss ya RIP

I would love to bring my 6.0 Excursion to your dealership but I can't figure out which one. Elsinore is my closest, but haven't had good luck with them. Where do I go?

OK so I'm at this same point bit realized I did it before ever turning the car on so disconnected the reservoir and cleaned it and soaked it in bleach soap water overnight because I didn't start it is it that better situation or do I have to still go through the process that I just watched you go through? Ty a ton

I just heard you passed, Rip brother you saved my ford ❤️

ive got a 2005 6.0 that is getting fuel in the oil over aperiod of 2000 miles (normal driving,no towing) I drained 6 gal. of oil n fuel out of it.

Does it work on coolant that’s turned to gunk. Mixed color antifreeze. Contaminated with wrong coolant.

damn, just watched this video, and see homie is no longer with us. Thanks for the pro tip, rest easy

Thank you....and Bless you.

Hey Ron.. first thanks for your videos!! Is it possible to flush an oil cooler on a 6 liter? or just replace it. My delta are about 50 degrees difference. with the oil being hotter.

I have a Dodge Journey. Instead of letting the water pump through the hose shouldn’t I just let it flow out the bottom of the radiator?

Spic and Span works great too

Going thru the same with a 09 Maxxforce. Pain in the ass and dirty!

btw my car is a 2001 Nissan maxima VQ30DE the cars motor does not smoke or smoke from the exhaust just to let you know a lil info on the Car?

I'm gonna try this tomorrow. .

My Mercedes diesel had some oil in the coolant, this makes me feel better that there is a fix.

great vid

Ron do you flush before or after fixing the failed component.

exactly what i needed

Can you use laundry detergent?

I hope thats not cold water running through a hot engine. thats asking for trouble

a/c refrigerant is low

what do you think of using purple power ? i use simple green but have heard some use the purple power ?

Please, I really want to know the cause of it, transmission fluid mixing in the radiator tank with the coolant , cause I have a Range Rover Sport 2007 with same issue. Thanks

Hi Ron. Could you let me know how I do this flushing in my Landrover 2 ? I have fixed the leak in oil cooler and now seen oil milky sludge in every hose Which hose I should open. Should I do reverse flushing ?

My oil cooler on my Alfa Romeo went out I was gonna use dawn dish soap n distilled water to get out all the nasty sludge out ..

Ron muuuchas gracias donde quiera que estes

I'm assuming that's schedule 40 pvc?

Yu really showing how to fix it the right way

i have a 1995 7.3 with a little oil in coolant. just found it . im going to replace the oil cooler cooler and radiator. should I flush after I put on new parts or replace the oil cooler and wait and put in the radiator after? thanks

Thank you for one of the best videos on the subject helped out just knowing I'm my head where to start white smoke smells like gas over flow sludge oil I hope I can fix it pepboys sucks they said I need a whole new motor and charged me almost 200$ just say there was to much oil in my engine no codes nothing when I ran my own obd and it came up eiths codes don't go to pepboys for shit .Thanks again

Why is it God takes the good ones ,and leaves us assholes

Awesome. 😃😃😃

Ron, are you a flat rate tech? or hourly?
