I know the old adage, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," but let's just say I'm trying to prevent problems. I have a 2000 Ranger, 3.0, and it seems to heat and cool just fine. I bought it used and have no idea if and when the previous owner ever, drained and refilled the cooling system. I have read the active chemical on the Prestone Rad. Flush bottles and it is Citric Acid. Several web sites say citric acid is great for copper radiators but NOT for aluminum systems. Several web sites say to use nothing to flush the radiator but to just drain and fill.
Does a 2000 Ranger have a copper or aluminum radiator and does anybody suggest a cleaner or just drain and fill?
I'd sure appreciate some ideas.
Thanks!!
