The video above shows you where the petcock on your radiator is located, how to flush the coolant / antifreeze and how to burp the system to get the air out of your Thunderbird.Ĭoolant is toxic and animals are attracted to the sweet taste of coolant (antifreeze). When you flush your coolant, which is antifreeze, on your 2003, you are draining out all of the old dirty coolant and preventing costly radiator and cooling system repair down the road. Like the oil in your Thunderbird, coolant gets dirty over time and loses its ability to cool down your 3.9 liter engine. Turn off the engine and drain the water, fill up the radiator with antifreeze until you have a 50/50 coolant / distilled water mixture and burp the system. Fill up the radiator with distilled water and run the engine. This video shows where the radiator drain plug (petcock) is located on a 2003 Ford Thunderbird. Start your coolant flush by draining the coolant / antifreeze that is in your reservoir, then drain the coolant that is in your radiator by opening the petcock or removing the lower radiator hose.

In addition to preventing your car from overheating, coolant / antifreeze also helps lubricate the seals in the water pump and hoses. Coolant / antifreeze also passes through the heater core under your cowl to provide heat to the cabin of your Thunderbird. Coolant / antifreeze circulates through Thunderbird radiator and engine to maintain the proper temperature. Learn how to flush the coolant (antifreeze) in your 2003 Ford Thunderbird.
