I did my coolant flush/change today and when refilling I put in 3.5 gal.
(14 qts.) of coolant but could only get 2 qts. of distilled H2O ?
Did I do something wrong or miss something? I followed beachbums
procedure. Ant ideas much appreciated.

 

Its Good

even if you drain everything you can the truck still holdsaround 3.5 gallons of water in it

When I do it I drain all the water I can and add the same 3.5 gallons of full strength coolant top off with water and its 50/50 mix or a touch stronger what is fine too

when In doubt they sell a Hydrometer to test coolant for cheap at the auto parts store you could test the coolant strength if you want but Im shure your fine
As long as you have a truck??????????????

I think the Excursions have a bigger coolant capacity IIRC

 

The coolant capacity of a F series 6.0 is around 28 quarts.

 

Thanks Benny, Yes I still have a truck. Gonna tackle the blue
spring upgrade tomorrow. Hope it goes smoothly too.
Thanks again. Happy new year.
