Message: [QUOTE="dasboot, post: 156037, member: 2600"] Flush the radiator and ran restore and restore plus. After cleaning out system my last flush was distelled water. after flushing and getting all the cleaner and water out of the system, I went to fill with Distilled water. Thinking I was going to fill with about 6-7 gal and then drain and refill with coolant and distilled water. I was only able to put about three gallon of the DW in it. So, I opened the drain to drain all the water out. The water still looked soapy. so I put the filtered tap in flushing it out and testing water clearness with a glass jar. After I was satisfied the water was clear. I drained the system by radiator drain plug only . Installed the new t-stat. I went to fill up with what I though was going to be 3 gallons of Ford gold coolant and about 4 gallons of distilled water. I was only able to put 2 gallons of coolant and 1 distilled. Could there still be about 4 gallons of water in the engine? Now I have a mix of 2 gal coolant 1 gallon distilled and 4 gallons filtered tap. I ran the truck to 190* and waited for the t-stat to open and see if the level dropped. Nothing? staying at min level. Ok what did I do wrong or do I need to drive it some? [/QUOTE]
