Hey guys I'm planing on flushing my radiator this weekend and I was looking in the owners manual to see how much coolant it holds and it had different capacities for a 1 row radiator and for a 2 row radiator I was just wanting to know how I can tell if mines a 1 or 2 row radiator and my truck is a 99 XLT 4X4 with the 5.4. Thanks in advance, Clay.

 

Really depends on model, make, etc. They change in between years too. Take a picture of it or just fill it until you get to the fill mark. Fairly straight forward. If your radiator is around an inch of so in width, you have the smaller capacity.

 

Alright ill just measure the width of it tomorrow and hopefully that'll give me a good idea of what it is but thanks for the help man.

 

Just get around 2 gallons of pure coolant and the rest water. None of that 50/50 stuff

 

Use distilled water when mixing.

 

What's the difference between distilled water and tap water running in your radiator?

 

Tap water is not straight water. It contains minerals, fluoride...etc. Causes rust easier.

 

Just install a Brita water filter on your radiator.

 

Now your thinking!

 

Haha
