Your 2001 Ford F-150 uses yellow concentrate coolant/antifreeze. Replace coolant for the engine at 100,000 miles or ten years. Over time, engine coolant loses its anticorrosive properties and lubricating ability.Your radiator coolant can cause radiator corrosion, generating rust that You do not want in Your car's radiator or engine. Signs that an immediate radiator flush is necessary to include coolant leaking underneath Your car and hearing a grinding engine noise. Other signs of a sick cooling system are if You smell antifreeze or if the car overheats too easily. Even though many people choose to simply put water into their radiators instead of coolant, it is not a good idea. While water does help to keep Your engine cool, it does not work nearly as well as coolant does.
