Thanks Dave. I recall meeting you and thanks for your past and current advice.
As it turned out on the banging problem we discussed turned out to be a massive
brain fart on my part. I had replaced the plastic shift lever with a stainless
one and the throws are different. The replacement stainless lever was coming in
contact with the protector before forward was fully engaged which caused the
banging. I figured it out a few days after we met.
Cheers,Doug

Hi Doug,
Third GTA winter coming up and I have not yet run the red stuff through
windstar's engine. (IIRC the manual does not mention doing this) What I have
done is drain the water lock muffler and raw water strainer, remove the hoses
to the water pump, then drain the block through the two valves on the engine
block. (access under the galley sink) Blow any water out though the water
pump hose. Not sure whether that's optimal or not....Anyway, If I were to use
the red stuff, (and I may) I would drain everything first so I could be sure
that the antifreeze was not too diluted. It really is a good time to look in
on the water pump impeller..I would also check the specific gravity of the
coolant to ensure its freeze point is low enough. You can get a tester at
Crappy tire for this for less than $10.Top up the batteries with distilled
water.

It's my first year with the 2GM20F and it's almost time to winterize it. Is
there anything I need to do other running anti freeze through the fresh water
intake until it comes out the exhaust??
Cheers,Doug
