[QUOTE="ruthless, post: 15549246, member: 56567"] "The simple factory procedure - which is right from the Ford service manual:" I have never had a cooling system fill go that easy on one of these. Maybe they forgot the part about hanging the car from the front bumper? Its always a warm then cool, fill the port by the supercharger. Wait to the next day and repeat and repeat and repeat. Just keep doing that until you cant get any more coolant in. My failure over the weekend when filling mine was a leaking res cap. If you fill the res and start the car and notice the coolant is down in the res do yourself a favor. Turn the car off, put your ear next to the cap, when its cool, while squeezing the upper rad hose. If you hear air, take the cap and launch it into a low level orbit. [/QUOTE]
