Tomorrow I am going to change my Blower Motor Processor. I am going to have to pull the heater hoses off the heater core and in the process I am going to lose some coolant. (1) Does the coolant go in the steel tube in the coolant line where little screw thing about the size of a quarter is or does it simply go in the overflow tank. (2) Is there a special bleeding process to rid the system of air. I have heard that 4.6's have a very sensitive coolant system. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

hello fellow delawareian! what part are you in?

for your questions:

i dont even think you have to remove any of the lines, its to my understanding that you should be able to wigle it out without unhooking any coolant lines.

you don't have to remove the heater hoses to access the BCM. its a tight fit but its very do-able

What were you doing exactly? Did that one go to the big engine farm in the sky?
