99 4.0 4x4 83k miles.
Sat for 4ish years. Needs fluids flushed.
Before I could get to this truck leaked coolant in about 3 weeks of driving. It has a visible fresh leak streak around water pump. To diagnose it and be sure, I want to flush with vinegar and tap water, then drive it about 10 miles/day for about 3 days. I will flush tap water out with distilled water then add coolant. If I leave this mixture in it for 3 days only will tap water affect engine in those 3 days?
