How to refill & bleed
- With the engine cool, remove the degas bottle (coolant reservoir) cap.
- Fill the degas bottle to the “max cold” line.
- Start the engine and let it idle with the heater on high.
- As the engine warms up, the coolant level will drop. Continue to add coolant to the degas bottle to maintain the level between the “min cold” and “max cold” lines.
- Once the engine is at operating temperature and the thermostat has opened, the coolant level should stabilize. Top off the coolant level to the “max cold” line and replace the cap.
Common cooling system issues
- Water pump failure: The water pump is a common failure item on the 2019 Ford F-150. Symptoms of a failing water pump include a coolant leak from the front of the engine, a whining or grinding noise from the engine, and the engine overheating.
- Coolant leaks: Coolant leaks can occur from a variety of sources, including the radiator, hoses, and water pump. If you notice a coolant leak, it is important to have it repaired as soon as possible to prevent engine damage.
- Thermostat failure: The thermostat can fail in either the open or closed position. If it fails in the open position, the engine will take a long time to warm up and the heater will not work well. If it fails in the closed position, the engine will overheat.
