Coolant, antifreeze

[paparauder]

Just out of curiosity, has anyone experimented with different antifreeze than factory? I know that mixing different types of coolant is a big no no, but how about a complete flush and fill with a different type?

If you get into your coolant system, keep this info handy.

And this info;

"Most people think a larger radiator will improve the capacity of the cooling system but a big factor that is often overlooked is airflow. Increasing airflow will have a dramatic effect on the cooling ability of any radiator which is why most choose to do so when prepping a vehicle for race use. Some common ways to get more air through the radiator are:

Increase the size of the lower air dam
Box in the radiator to force air to flow through it and not around it
Additional hood and fascia vents
Additional or more powerful cooling fans
This is also why you never want to remove or obstruct the lower air dam on a modern vehicle. Not to mention it will reduce the life of the radiator fan(s) and could even cause overheating."

Use any thing that meets the Ford spec.
