I tried to find the answer in previous threads but i didnt find one that really answered my questions.
I have a 1995 explorer 4.0 OHV and it has 123000 on it. I decided its probably due to have the coolant changed. I see the drain plug on the radiator and i know that will get a lot of the coolant out but not all of it. IS THERE A DRAIN PLUG ON THE ENGINE BLOCK??? I have read countless answers to this. Some say yes, some say no. Also, is it true that the only "burping" required is running the engine for a while with the radiator cap and overflow cap off, then refilling and repeating?
I also have no real interest in flushing the system as i believe that it kind of screws up the 50/50 mix ratio of coolant and distilled water.
Thanks,
Ben
