Okay guys, I just spent an hour reading 2.5L coolant threads, what I'd like to know are the basics : where is the coolant drain plug, the block drain plug and how to drain the heater core ? .
Pictures will be best, I'm an old geezer and don't ken moderns too well .
Also, I recently replaced the N02 sensor and cleaned the MAF sensor near the air filter using the specific aerosol MAF sensor cleaner, my fuel economy is down to 16MPG
and at $5.00 + the gallon here in So. California I need to maybe find and clean the coolant temperature sensor, I'm assuming it has one .
FWIW, this truck only has 149,000 miles on it and runs like a top (stick shift, 5 speed)
So far every time I asked a question I get the right dope fast from those who know
.
Getting ready to head out across the Mojave Desert again, this time taking my Sweet so i don't want any problems .
TIA,
