NOTE: On vehicles equipped with a cab heater option, a shut off valve is

heater.

7. Transfer the coolant into a properly labelled container. Dispose of

properly.

8. Reconnect line to bottom of overflow bottle and close petcock on

the radiator. Reconnect heater hose.

water. Total System Capacity is 4 gallons (15 liter). Add coolant to
overflow bottle until bottle is about 1/2 to 3/4 full. This “overfilling”

then shut OFF the engine. While the engine is cooling, check for
leaks.
