COOLING SYSTEM CAPACITIES
AEROSTAR, EXPLORER & RANGER
- Fill cooling system with 50/50 mixture of coolant and water. Pause several minutes for circulation. Fill radiator to filler neck seat. Install radiator cap fully, then back off to first stop. WARNING: When engine is operating, NEVER remove radiator cap under any conditions. Failure to follow instruction may damage cooling system or engine, or cause personal injury. Always wrap protective material around radiator cap to avoid injury from hot coolant.
- Turn heater controls to maximum. Start engine and operate at 2000 RPM for approximately 3-4 minutes. Turn engine off. Using a protective rag, carefully remove radiator cap. Add coolant to filler neck seat.
- Install radiator cap fully, then back off to first stop. Start engine and allow to operate at 2000 RPM until upper radiator hose is warm. Check heater output. Turn engine off. Using a rag, carefully remove radiator cap. Add coolant to filler neck seat if necessary.
- Tightly install radiator cap. Remove small cap (large cap is for windshield washer reservoir) on coolant recovery reservoir. Add 1.1 qt. (1L) of 50/50 water and coolant mixture to reservoir. Install reservoir cap.
BRONCO, PICKUP & VAN
- To bleed trapped air from cooling system, disconnect heater hose from water pump. Using 50/50 mixture of coolant and water, fill radiator until coolant flows from heater hose fitting at water pump. Reconnect heater hose.
