Flush the Radiator in a 1998 Ford Expedition
The radiator in a 1998 Ford Expedition is mounted in the front of the engine compartment, directly at the end the grill. It is designed to cut the temperature of the engine coolant and transmission fluid. As radiators generation, dirt, debris and other contaminants produce up inside, restricting the flow of coolant. This restricted flow dramatically reduces the effectiveness of the radiator. To restore the radiator to its first operating example, it must be drained and flushed completely.
Instructions
1. Turn off the engine, and assign the transmission in grassland provided it's an automatic or first off gear whether it's a album. Operate the emergency brake, and expanded the hood.
2. Deposit a garden hose inside the upper radiator hose inlet, and turn the inundate on. Own the aqua to flow completed the radiator and elsewhere the backside at the lower radiator hose Issue. Keep on pumping water through the radiator until nothing but clean water, free of dirt, debris and old coolant, flows from the lower radiator outlet.
Crawl underneath the Motor lorry, and remove the hose clamp from the lower radiator hose using the flathead screwdriver. Assign a bucket underneath the lower radiator hose Issue. Remove the lower radiator hose from the radiator and permit the coolant to withdraw away.
4. Remove the clamp from the upper radiator hose using the flathead screwdriver. Remove the upper radiator hose.
5. Distance a rag over the radiator cap, and slowly unscrew it, allowing any excess vapour or vigour to escape. Remove the cap completely.3.
6. Switch the hose to the radiator cap inlet, and flush water through the radiator again. Continue flushing until the water exiting the lower radiator outlet is clear. Reconnect the hoses, and refill the radiator with engine coolant. Replace the radiator cap, start the engine and check for leaks.
