I know that there's about a million threads online asking about coolant for the 7.3 idi, and believe me, I've read through at least half of them in the past few weeks. That being said, I still have a few questions:
The coolant in my IDI now ( original from when I bought the truck a few months ago) is green. But don't know anymore about it than that. Not sure If the previous owner kept up on an additive or not. So I was guessing the best thing to do would be drain the coolant and start over.
I was about to order the Fleetguard DCA4 SCA additive, but wasn't sure how much I needed? 16oz bottle enough?
I bought some coolant/antifreeze from Napa. It just regular green ethylene glycol low silicate stuff in a blue bottle. Just wanted to ask and make sure that this stuff is fine???
Also, If someone could explain the steps to draining and flushing the system I'd appreciate it. I'm not very mechanically inclined, but I think I can pull it off.
Thanks.
