Buy a radiator funnel fill kit $30. Jack the front end up as high as you safely can, fill up the funnel with coolant and let it sit overnight,in the morning see how much coolant is left.I'm guessing it will be empty,fill it again and let it sit,repeat the steps until the engine will not take anymore.
I replaced alternator& Serpintine belt on my 03 Lincoln aviator I had to take the radiator hose off and the hoses on reservoir top and bottom just to get fan and fan clutch out just to get alternator out. I put everything back together started fine. (My question is) can anyone tell me why it's overheating, and what are the steps to repairing it please and thank you
Its air locked it's a pain to get all the air out turn heater on full blast and let it warm up and open bleeder screw on top of metal tube be careful and make sure it's not all the way to temp or it will be pressurized as it warms up the thermostat should open allowing coolant to flow through and all air suld burp its self out turn the vehical off and fill up some more until you get no more air bubbles out of it it may take a few times .
Use a heat gun for a couple of seconds on that cap and then use a pair of pliers that's what got mine on gun
