The 1999 Ford F2 50 engine block fuses can be found in the fuse box. The fuse box is in the engine compartment, just behind the battery box.
Flushing a small block Chevy engine involves opening the petcock, draining the coolant, filling the system with water, and adding a flush solution. The vehicle is ran for about 10 minutes, drained, and refilled with a 50/50 mixture of water and anti-freeze.
The diesel fuel will ruin the rubber parts like the hoses and seals over time. I would drain and flush the entire system (engine block, radiator, hoses) and refill with 50% antifreeze and 50% clean water.
First use clean water to flush the system then a mixture of 50% clean water and 50% antifreeze to refill the system if you were able to drain the entire system. The cooling system in an average vehicle will hold aprox 10 to 12 quarts. The block drains can be difficult to remove to drain the block dry so if that is your case, after you have flushed the system with clean water add 4 qts of straight antifreeze to the radiator. This will mix with the clean water in the engine block giving you a 50/50 mix. If you need to add more coolant after that use the 50/50 mix.
DO NOT FLUSH the coolant system on a northstar. Drain the coolant, replace with 50/50 Dexcool and fresh clean water, and you're good to go. Especially NEVER NEVER buy a "Coolant Flush" at a dealer or quicky-lube place. All you'll get is the previous sucker's engine gunk pumped in to your engine.
Yes in most cases. ...... I have a 76 Pontiac 350 in my 50 Ford f1 and the no. on the block is 500810. can you tell me what it came out of?....thanks JoJo
No trouble at all.
Its a 50/50 chance because if you have the 3.0 engine but this can be checked without pulling the engine and any machine shop can help you............
If you are talking about the low coolant light then it is just low of coolant. If you are talking about the coolant temperature light, then the engine is overheating. This car is 7 years old. Have the cooling system serviced. Drain the coolant and flush the system. Install a new thermostat, and add a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water.
any ford dealer or good aftermarket store like auto zone will have block heater be aware the block heater as it is called, actually installs in the oil cooler on lower side of engine the heater will cost about 50 bucks and the wire harness is about 80 bucks u could also go to a wrecker and get used one
go to the auto store and buy some prestone flush. instructions are on the back. basically you drain your radiator, pour in the flush, refill the system with water, run the engine with the heater on high for about 15 minutes, then drain the system again, refill it with 50/50 coolant.
Answer Obtain a prestone flush kit and a container of fast acting flush plus 2 gallons of antifreeze. You will be splicing the tee fitting in your return heater hose ( the cooler of the two hoses), draining the existing coolant, filling with straight water and flush to the radiator, running the engine for ten minutes with the heater on full then hooking up your garden hose to the adapter that comes with the kit. After you have run it the clean water thru it, the radiator and engine will be nice and clean; then drain the pure water and add 50/50 antifreeze and water mix and your done. I hope this helps you. Mark Following the above procedure, I would recommend adding the first gallon of straight antifreeze in without mixing with water because you will not have drained the engine block by simply draining the radiator. So you still have at least one gallon of clear water in the block to mix with one gallon of straight antifreeze. Add the rest with a 50/50 mix for protection down to -34 degrees F.
