How many of you have run into this scenario.
You take your 6.4L into the dealer for a coolant flush. You have either reached your 5 year life, or you're at the mileage or the coolant didn't pass the nitrite test. In any case Ford has a very specific coolant flush procedure for the 6.4.
I called 4 dealers inquiring about the cost... All the dealers were in the ball park, ~$180. I asked them how could they charge such a little amount when the procedure required removing the T-Stat's flushing the system with VC-9, idling for an hour, then removing the block drains, which one of them requires removing the starter.... Then use a Vacuum system to refill....
They all gave me the same answer.... We don't do the Ford flush, we use a flushing machine. There's NO need to run VC-9 and do all that work. Some dealers didn't even know about the Ford procedure....
How many of you have flushed your coolant and what method did you and or your dealer use....
