[QUOTE="6.0 Tech, post: 1345789, member: 23001"] Yes gold is the motorcraft stuff. If you drain the rad first, itll probably be 3-4 gallons, then whatever comes out of the hose whic will probably 1-1.5 gallons. I typically dont drain the radiator. I also dont use a vacuum filler for it and dont have any problems. Itll get mostly full, tgen a quick drive and itll take about another quart to two quarts to make it perfect. Get yourself some trans gel or something too, even with the factory lube on the o rings, it can be a pain to get the bottom section clipped together properly. [/QUOTE]
