Kinda figured that but I dont wanna mess it up.. I didnt realize I was getting into so much stuff when I bought a 6.0.... Kinda wish I would have looked for a 7.3 Excursion.

Just trying to minimize the "down the road" repairs...
I guess I will go clean Kroger out of their distilled water..

What are you guys doing with the flushed coolant? How are you capturing it?

A 4 or 5 gal. bucket (spackle, paint, etc) works perfect.

If you have a barrel to use then you could bring it to a recycling center. Otherwise, the street/woods/brush it is.
