- Severe duty: 6 years or 100,000 miles.
How to refill & bleed
- Ensure the engine is cool.
- Mix the coolant concentrate with distilled water to a 50/50 ratio, or use a pre-mixed solution.
- Slowly add the coolant to the degas bottle (coolant reservoir), filling to the "MAX" line.
- Start the engine and let it warm up to normal operating temperature, which will circulate the coolant and purge air from the system. The level in the degas bottle will drop.
- Top off the degas bottle to the "MAX" line as needed. Repeat until the level stabilizes.
Note: While many modern vehicles require a vacuum-fill tool to prevent air pockets, the 2024 F-150's cooling system is designed to self-bleed.
Common cooling system issues
- Water pump failure: Some earlier F-150 models experienced premature water pump failure. While the issue is less common on newer models, it is still a potential point of failure.
- Coolant leaks: Leaks can occur at the radiator, hoses, or thermostat housing. Regular inspection of these components is recommended.
- Thermostat malfunction: A stuck thermostat can cause the engine to overheat or fail to reach operating temperature.
